Nickelodeon (ended 2012)
I didn't either...I had to read it over again. I guess you meant "damn". I mean, I wouldn't let a little kid say it, but I never considered it a profane word...my bad.
(back on topic) I know I sounded really negative about iCarly, but I do actually enjoy season 6 more than other kids shows. I mean, I've tried finding another guilty pleasure show and I can't even bear to watch a full episode. I'm pretty sure it's funnier than any show on the Disney Channel and the lesser shows like How to Rock, even though iCarly is at it's lowest point of quality right now. They definitely could have kept it going if they distributed the episodes right, but I think people forget when these episodes are on or that iCarly is still running at all. I'm an iCarly fan and even I forget if there is a new episode on or not. Also, I noticed they don't really show reruns anymore. Remember when iCarly was so "in your face", there were promos every second and all they showed were old iCarly reruns?
Im going to miss it. But,truthfullyI think its time for it to go. They cut the seasons too short anddraggedthem on to long. Season four had only thirteen episodes and lasted over a year. they really could have put seasons four and five together.
sorry for double posting but i forgot to put the part about Sam and Cat getting there own show and Gibby getting his own show check it out:

I guess that's the point...they're not suited to babysit kids. Although Cat acts like a 5 year old kid, so maybe she'll enjoy it...like she can reach their level. That's probably where the humor, conflict, and "adventure" comes from. They can't handle it and they aren't good at it. Over time, they will have ~character development and become responsible enough people to
1. Live on their own, support themselves with their own money
2. Tolerate each other, work together, and get along (let's be real, Sam can't tolerate people like Cat)
3. Not only take care of themselves, but take care of children(maybe Sam will grow to actually like children?).
4. College stuff? (assuming they're in college?)
Idk even though I personally haven't, I've known people who get stuck with crappy babysitters. Not Sam/Cat bad...but real life is always less ridiculous/exaggerated than Dan shows haha. It seems no different than leaving a kid with Vicky from FOP or Trina from iParty with Victorious. Parents in these shows are dumb. Where were the supervisors of the kids in this sweatshop penny tee business? Where are the parents to stop the iCarly kids from getting into shenanigans? I bet their parents will be too absent to care, and will dump their kids with anybody. Or...be really naive. They probably don't know Sam very well, or only judge her based off of the web show.
Nevertheless, the plot still sounds kinda lame. Idk why I just defended it...probably because I want to give it a chance. I remember judging iCarly a lot until season 3, and I'm happy I took the time to watch it with an open mind. The synopsis of iCarly and Victorious sounded horrible, but once they got the hang of things it turned out to be okay. I like the roommate part of it though. I'd like a female Kenan/Kel or Drake/Josh. I'd just like it better with different characters and without the babysitting part. I never like pilots of shows, and sometimes I don't like the first season (like iCarly) so I'll give it until season 2 airs before I quit watching if I don't like it. I'm looking forward to iCarly or Victorious cast members guest starring on this show (Miranda Cosgrove and Jerry Trainor I'm looking at you!)
