Nothing wrong with a pushy woman, they can be fun ;p and he had something a little nicer back at his place in iSpeed date. I love how he was a total pimp telling that cute brunette to wait.
Gibby's great and all but I think I liked him alot better back in episodes like "iWin a Date" than I do right now.
True, he's alot funnier now (lifting up shirt and yelling "He's here!" in "iHave My Prinicles") (and the girl in his apartment "iSpeed Date").
But I liked him better when he was nerdier like in "iWin a Date". Him trying to impress the girl, that was so cute!
I'm not argueing that Gibby acting "pimpish" with the girl in his house wasn't great but I sure wish they'd go back to the nerdier Gibby we all know and love.

I don't know. I don't think I could choose the earlier episodes with Freddie over the newer ones. Just because he grew up a lot. (And, ok this is gonna sound a little fangirlish, but, in the earlier Season 1 episodes, he was cute...as in little-kid-kinda cute. But, now, he's just cute[r]. lol.)
Although, if I must say, when I look back at older episodes, Freddie's character definitely changed; first, he was just Carly's nerdy neighbor who gave the webshow the name of iCarly and from then on was just pretty dorky and he was Carly's friend and Sam's target and now, he's become more of a best friend to both and isn't as nerdy as his persona should be, I guess.
As for Gibby, the same thing happened sort of. He used to be so cute and nerdy. Now, he's a close main character and has about as much of a "catch phrase" (ok, more like a thing...his thang lol) as T-Bo.
I don't really see much of what people like about Freddy right now (aside from his cute-ness which I really can't appritiate because I'm almost twice his age)
Freddy was my favorite character in season one when he was just nerdy. Now he's fallen to the place of my least favorite main character.
I wish they'd just find a mid-point for Freddy that is more nerdy yet still closer to how he is now. Just to appease everybody's desires.

I think they are just trying to make the characters mature a bit. I remember how much I changed between my last year of junior high and my first couple years of high school. I went from a nerd with spock bangs who used my knowledge to make people cry, to a longhaired, combat boot and flanel wearing grunge head who was friends with almost everyone on campus. I am still a nerd 15 years later, but there were HUGE changes in my personality during that time.

He hasn't made a real technical reference for God knows how long. It feels to me like they brought in an entirely different character from who Freddy used to be. The most technical thing he's done for the past 2 seasons is hold up a camera. |
Yeah, they have taken him a bit too far in the non-nerd direction
but back to Gibby, he has been appearing in almost every ep recently, more so than Lewbert. Other than Marissa, he is the largest of the secondary characters

While we're on the topic of Marissa, does anyone think that she'd make a good addition to the main characters? Having another adult main character (especially someone like Marissa) could lead to all sorts of hilarious plots. |
I felt it worked having her as one of the leads in iGo to Japan and iHurt Lewbert, and I thought after that she would play a more prominent role in the show. Not that she isn't one of the top two ancillary characters (her and Gibby) but I think the show could lean more towards becoming an ensemble show rather than a quartet of leads

| There was so much Gibbyness in iQuit iCarly! Shaboom. Totally love it |
Almost all in the sub plot. Still pretty funny
