iCarly

I was a fan of the original iCarly when I was a kid and have good memories of watching it back then. I watched the first 3 episodes of this season and I must say it's good but could be a lot better. Jerry Trainor is great and he really does carry the comedy on the show so far. Miranda Cosgrove and Nathan Kress both naturally fit into their roles pretty well. I'm indifferent towards the other two characters. Harper is funny but she is going to have to settle into her role more. At first I didn't like Milicent at all but she grew on me over time. My main problem with the show so far is some of the dialogue and internet references try too hard sometimes. Also, I don't like that Freddie is still living with his mother. And shouldn't he have a better camera? I know phones have taken over the world but knowing Freddie he should have the most hi-def amazing camera since he's a huge nerd. Also I would think they would be live-streaming on a platform like YouTube or Twitch instead of Instagram since it's a lot better for that sort of thing and much easier to make money. I liked their decision with Sam and having her join a biker gang it makes sense for her character. I'm excited to see more of the show but I really hope there's more to the show then just internet/social media references.

Not bad I mean it's not just the same without McCurdy (Sam)

Carly, Freddy, and Spencer return to the small screen bringing with them laughs, gags, and nostalgia.

Let me start by saying I grew up watching the original series and was excited for the reboot. But mere minutes into the new pilot, I experienced cringe worthy dialogue and even acting that felt off and forced. I waited it out though, hoping things would change.

They did.

ICarly is still a corny, goofball of a show that exists to entertain but comes along with a dose of nostalgia as well. It's fun and idiotic, the characters melt back into their caricatures quite well after some time. New additions Harper and Millicent also mix in well, though personally I feel Harper does as Carly's BFF more so than Millicent does as Freddy's stepdaughter. I have no doubt though that things will develop and smooth out more with time.

It's enjoyable, and I hope it is given time to grow!

If you watched the original show religiously as a tween like me, then this show is honestly great fun. When I heard that Sam wasn't going to be in the show I didn't plan on watching it, since she was always my favourite, but I ended up giving it a go anyway and I'm pleasently surprised. After such a long time since the original ended I didn't think it would have the same feel, but they've managed to replicate it quite well, though it is very modernized (which I personally like). I've only seen the first 2 episodes so far but it seems to be on the right track and hopefully it'll improve further as it goes along.

Please, PLEASE either get rid of the kid or change her personality! She is way too obnoxious and her delivery is not funny.
