iHeart "iCarly"

"iCarly" is not a bad show in the least. It's about a teenage girl in Seattle named Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) who hosts her own live Internet web-show with her tomboy-ish best friend Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and producer/cameraman Freddie (Nathan Kress). Carly also lives with her sculptor older brother/legal guardian Spencer (Jerry Trainor).

This is a very funny kids show (that will certainly turn away many adults not accustomed to this type of humor), much better than much of the crap being produced by Nickelodeon nowadays. I stopped watching Nick altogether about 11 years ago, because it removed many of the last of its greatest shows ("Aahh! Real Monsters" will be the most missed from that time) and replaced them with complete crap like "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Fairly OddParents"; the same thing began to happen to Cartoon Network and likewise, I stopped watching that channel as well.

I'm 23. Right now, "iCarly" is the best thing that Nickelodeon has to offer in terms of good old-fashioned children's entertainment, for those of us young adults who still have a stomach for children's entertainment. After the conclusion of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," a fantastic pseudo-Anime'-style cartoon series that was nothing short of pure genius, "iCarly" is the next best thing on Nickelodeon right now, and that's a good thing.

"iCarly" is cute, innocent, funny, well-acted and above all, entertaining in a way many children's shows just aren't anymore.

I just hope that Nick doesn't get any funny ideas and decide to cancel this show before it's had a proper run on their station.
