Well, go ahead.

huh?

ohhh "in this thread" - but wtf is icarly?

nice act

My son (he's 7) watches it religiously and my wife is probably more hooked on watching it than he is.

I've probably watched 1-2 episodes from beginning to end because I've been in the room when he's watched it. So no secret obsession here.

ohhh "in this thread" - but wtf is icarly?

You don't have a child 8-14 years old do you?

edit to add: As for me, no obsession about it. I've seen every episode probably twice but that's just by osmosis, just the same as I've seen every Drake & Josh at least 10 times, every SpongeBob probably 20 times, and more others than I care to try to name.

Cosgrove seems reasonably talented to me but I'm not sure how much range she'll end up having. Her turn as the kid sister on D&J was spot on though. Of the rest of the iCarly cast I think the brother is the right part away from having a break out as at least a supporting comedy actor for movies, the girl playing Sam is cute but I'm not sure if there's much else there, and I'm afraid Freddy is a kind of generic young teen male actor. I wonder though, how many people have recognized the principal without his more familiar makeup?

lol nope. a child...lol.

one of those kid-shows hmm? *nods* my brother has thankfully grown out of all of that and is now more into watching sports

Is this one of those, ITT we get potential child molesters arrested threads?

I thought this was a thread about a new iPhone app.

Between Alizee and this, I'm really starting to wonder if MJ4H is forced to tell the autorities when he changes his place of residence.

Have you seen the movie Old School? The girl that is the "band manager", the goodie two-shoes. She is the star of iCarly. I have caught bits and pieces (my daughter is 15-months-old, so my time is coming, heh)

Incidentally, I thought the idea to release a Miranda Cosgrove single as free DLC for Rock Band 2 was a nifty piece of marketing. Say what you will about how lame the song is, there's a ton of equally lame songs that aren't getting nearly that much exposure.

No, I do not have any obsession nor interest in iCarly. But someone on FOFC apparently does. We are simply waiting for them to show up here. They will.

pedotainment

As the father of a 10-year-old girl, I know the show well.

This thread gives me the creeps.

It was a complete fluke, really.

My Chinese roommate happened to have it on and I sat down for the hell of it.

3 hours later, I'd watched 6 episodes.

For it being a kid's show, it has surprising intelligence and sophistication (unlike, say, Hannah Montana. True, there's the silliness and improbabilities that are staples of the genre, but overall, it has a wit to it that rather astonished me.

I find it interesting that there's the occasional hint of darkness and/or dialogue that could be interpreted on one level by kids, another level by adults.

Very reasoned assessment. I disagree that Cosgrove has anything resembling "range", though. But totally agree about the older brother and a potential career there. He's one reason the show is bearable.

ohhh "in this thread"

You could've given me 12 hours and unlimited Starbucks red-eyes and I still wouldn't have come up with that.

So, I had to look up "ITT" on Urban Dictionary. It came up with two possibilities:

1. In This Thread
2. i'd tap that

So, which is it?

I thought he was saying IT folks were pedophiles. Or something.

I like my women like I like my scotch. Aged 12 years.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'm not ready to call it definitely that she doesn't have any, since the material doesn't lend itself to that very much but I haven't seen enough to say that she does have any either.

I think she will transition well, but a lot will depend on her agent. If they pigeon hole her into roles like the Amanda Please chick she's done by 22. But if they go the Portman way she could be a major player

guffaw!

Its not bad, but not a patch on the 'Wonder Years' or indeed 'That 70's show' ...

THR reports that Miranda Cosgrove, start of Nickelodeon hit iCarly has signed a new deal with Nick that will pay her in the mid to low seven figures to complete the next 26 episodes of iCarly.

Those 26 episodes will take iCarly’s run to 96 episodes.

I have seen Freddy on a CSI episode, but other than iCarly, it's the only place I have noticed him.

I am waiting for the brother to pick up a movie / comedy series on another channel.

Had this discussion at dinner again the other night, I think he's a steady movie supporting actor waiting for a place to happen. I can't see him successfully carrying a TV show or a movie alone but I can completely see him as a guy who is a steady 2nd or 3rd banana on the big screen.

$3 mil to $7 mil coming her way?

In that case, I have not problem admitting an obsession. :D

I wonder what drugs the kid who played Sam on "clarissa explains it all" is doing these days

And I definitely agree that the iCarly brother can have a very lucrative career as a 2nd fiddle type character in comedy/action stuff.

He could easily work as a main ensemble player on a nighttime comedy as well. I have strong doubts he could carry a show though.

Sean O'Neal (http://www.seanoneal.com/)

I've three kids aged between 8 and 16, I get to watch ALL the shows pretty much (well they pass me by while I fiddle on my laptop in general) ...

Ones which impress me generally have that 'wonder years' appeal - like "That 70's show" which is genuinely funny imho or surprising depth like "The Last Airbender" (which is bloody amazing for a kids cartoon, I can see why they made it into a feature film) ... oh and that 'reality TV show' cartoon which they keep revamping is kinda stupidly addictive, not at the Sponge Bob secret addiction level (which imho most adults with kids have had at some stage) ... but good all the same.

Although to be honest I'm just very very very glad that the Teletubby stage has passed, I still remember walking through customs with a Tinky Winky in my suitcase speaking to everyone as I walked by ;)

Disclaimer - I'm a games developer, I'm professionally immature as I constantly remind my wife and daughter :D

Seriously???

You guys need to watch "Phineas and Ferb". This cartoon is awesome. 2 kids doing cool things during summer vacation. They build all sorts of cool things.
An example, they build a killer haunted house to scare the hiccups out of the neighbor girl. But its a super awesome haunted house. And then there is their pet, Perry the platypus. He is actually a secret agent.

$3 mil to $7 mil coming her way?

In that case, I have not problem admitting an obsession. :D

But what if it's $76,543.21? That's still seven figures!

Tried it, never really saw much in it that I liked. One of those that kind of fell flat with me, same as Code Name: Kids Next Door among others.

A couple of others that I thought were underrated though, not sure they've been mentioned or not, would be Kim Possible and Danny Phantom

I can't stand Kids Next Door. I find none of the characters likable in the least.

Love Phineas and Ferb though. While I like pretty much all of the characters, Doofenshmirtz steals the show.

I like Penguins of Madagascar.

God, my daughter is obsessed with the horrible "Suite Life" shows.
They are mind-numbingly horrible.

You mean School Of Rock with Jack Black.

Someone turned 18 yesterday...

Izulde??

haha

the only reason I knew is because my niece was watching and mentioned something about it. I had honestly never seen a second of the show until last night, and only saw it because I was waiting to claim the TV to watch Survivor.

Yes, this show sucks. The only cool thing about it is one of the Higgins Boys is on it. But then again, that's more sad than cool.

I've watched this show more times than I care to admit, thanks to my niece.

One thing I haven't figured out. What happen to Carly's parents? Are they suppose to be dead? What does Spencer exactly do besides make crappy "art"? Is that his job? I know, I'm reading too much into a tween show.

I also heard Cosgrove's music. She can't sing. I don't see her being much more than a kid/tween star.

Mother is dead and her father is in the navy on a sub. Spencer is a law school dropout trying to become an artist.

I know far more about the show than I should. :(

Compared to most of the shows on these channels, this one is fairly entertaining. At least the first 24 times you've seen each episode...

Not sure how, but this is one show my daughter, soon to be 7, hasn't jumped on.

But I guess with Lemonade Mouth on every other hour, there is only so much time in the day.

Also, semi-related...the actress that plays Dino Dan's mom isn't too bad. The only thing that makes the show tolerable, because Dino Dan is reaching Caillou-levels of annoying!

Love Phineas and Ferb though. While I like pretty much all of the characters, Doofenshmirtz steals the show.

It's odd when I get upset when P&F is on, and my kids want to watch something else. How could you ever pick anything over that show?

God, my daughter is obsessed with the horrible "Suite Life" shows.
They are mind-numbingly horrible.

At least that show is over now (I think). I saw some ad for a graduation show that looked like a series finale.

Good Luck Charlie is an awful, awful show, too. The baby's got barely anything to do with the show - it's like someone decided to make a show where, instead of adding the annoying baby 3-4 seasons in, they'd start with that premise. They should be shot just for coming up with the idea.

So....Gibby's one-time girlfriend on the show, "Tasha"? Yeah, you all might want to google her.

I didn't recognize her from the show at all. Funny, though - I read this thread with my wife sitting next to me and when I google image'd her, we sat there picking out all the titty shots together.

I'm old and have been married too long.

Never heard of it. But the chick from Sprout is yummy.

YES! I meant to post something about her in the Random Thoughts thread. Last week, I was home with my 8 year old, who's several years beyond Sprout. But she was watching one of those horrendous Spongebob or Disney shows, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I grabbed the remote and started looking for something better. And I remembered her from way back when. So we ended up watching about 10 minutes of Nina putting Star to bed. It was glorious.

Haven't watched Sprout in year now, but assuming it's still Nina?

Yes, although I have no clue if it is new or just repeats. The kids change every 2 years, so they could just put it on repeat and never miss a beat.

I don't know what it is about her. I don't find her particularly gorgeous, but she is mesmerizing in a way that I am pretty sure is wrong.

Oh, by the way, here's a recent photo Jeanette McCurdy, who played Sam on iCarly:

2. McCurdy, now that she's grown up a little, actually has a nice little bod.
