- In 5... 4... 3... 2... It's finally here! The long awaited revival of the beloved Nickelodeon show iCarly is finally out with 3 NEW episodes on Paramount Plus and today we are going to find out if this venture into a more adult version of iCarly is exactly what we would have wanted from a return to iCarly.

It's FINALLY time! Let me know your thoughts on the revival of iCarly! Are you enjoying it? Is it not for you? Let me know! :D Have a great weekend everyone! Check out a previous iCarly video if you hadn't seen it yet: ua-cam.com/video/Q7vZuigdk7c/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JordanFringe
@Jay Craw109 I didn't know that actually, but this is just hypothetical
Cant watch yet, paramount + isnt in australia yet :(
@@Kxgu
Is Paramount+ even worth it? They don't seem to have anything I care about besides this show.
Hey just a heads up, Noah Munck said he resents his time as Gibby because he felt like a punching bag character that existed to be made fun of and would get harassed in public a lot by people demanding he take off his shirt.
Can u continue doing this I can’t get paramount for my self so this is really helpful to keep up my my favorite gang
Gibby became a crypto millionaire. Change my mind.
I feel like Guppy would convince Gibby and now their rich
I like to think that the sadworld channel is canon
it’s gotta be doge too
Gibby runs a restaurant business held in the basement of a school
Spencer is banksy change my mind
The fact that Freddie is 26 years old, has two divorces, and a step daughter that’s only like half is age is so funny. He’s like Ross but 200 times more likable.
Whatttt Ross is likeable
@@doctordragon9798 bruh 🥲
Wait so he had her at 15
@@gamerx895step daughter so I think she didn’t come from freddy’s baby gravy
Honestly we need a show about him inbetween which shows what happened 😂
Honestly, it wasn't a complete disaster. I really liked it, actually! I'm just glad Schneider isn't involved with it.
It's iCarly, the same funny jokes and funny humor, but they make sexual jokes here and there, so yeah, exactly what I expected, not disappointed 10/10
@@vicenteacevedoolavarria1678 Ikr! As much as I dislike Schneider, I felt as if the show wouldn't work without his input. But when I thought about it more, I realized it was for the better. His shows are usually discriminating, you know...? I much prefer the humour of the reboot!
Same
How well is the reception of this show being btw; seems pretty mixed; like some of issues people have with the show are mostly stuff that be fix throught the season; i think it needs to develop a little more
what’s the point of adding “complete disaster” 😭 it wasn’t a disaster at all
In the third episode Carly said and i quote "You gotta switch it up on a bitch" i have never been so surprised in my life
Haven't gotten to episode three yet, but that sounds like something I'm gonna look forward to lmaoo
Honestly, I expect at least one F-bomb now xD
I haven’t even watched the show and seeing someone as innocent as Carly say “bitch” is gonna be interesting for sure
@@andrewgarfield9898 she took it back right away lol. Harper was like good choice
I sat there pondering that for a full minute amused and surprised. I've been watching the first few seasons are something about little Carly swearing is for sure the adult stuff they mentioned. Same with the furry
It’s just so weird to see Freddie with more facial hair than Spencer. 2021 is wild 😂
mans been divorced twice already lmao
@@AliFrankTheTank our carly simp went so far
@@AliFrankTheTank 😂😂😂
@@AliFrankTheTank I'm surprised Freddie doesn't have any gray hair or going bald from those two divorces and the failed startup, or from his mom and Millicent.
@@kevinnelson66 well he is balding. Notice how his hair is carefully draped over the top of his head
"We always have the original" wish more people had this mindset across all media. Movies, shows games, nothing steals what we do like
but sometimes the hate is relateble for example the new spongebob episodes
@@usagiamv2562 on god I'm one of those people who hates new SpongeBob...but this pov makes 100% sense- I usually find myself watching clips from the older ones anyways
Right? When a reboot disappoints, I just use it as a reminder of how amazing the original was
Exactly my mindset with the Cowboy Bebop live action show. It's gonna succeed or fail based on it's own merit, but won't ever take away from what the original accomplished.
I agree but then I look at Star Wars and what coulda been if Disney didn’t own it 😔 and there’s no re dos on that when the original cast already old and dying
Everyone, especially Miranda, seemed a bit rusty in the first episode, in my opinion. By the third episode, the vibe is just starting to fall into place, though.
Yeah the first episode was a very awkward pilot it felt like one time skip after another time skip
The first episodes are NEVER the best ones, check any series
IKR like why is every pilot of literally every show always like weird or boring
@@wismeiry31 have you seen Loki the pilot was amazing
@@wismeiry31 the 100 is a great example!
I think it was good story telling to integrate Carly's insecurity with finding a partner and in the plot of her starting iCarly by herself without Sam's help. It really felt like it was a continuation and not out of the blue. There were story elements on it back in the original series as well but it was more subtle, so it was really a nice callback
I was kind of hoping that they would have had Carly show some sadness about it a bit, because Sam was like her best friend, then have the new characters console her and encourage her to be open minded, then have her start dating with Harper's help. That would have been nice.
I really hope they do something about Carly's relationships in a sympathetic way. I used to have issue with how they would treat Carly's dating life so superficially in the original and how shallow she kind of is. Though this could all work if they acknowledged it as her flaw though to address her insecurity. Hopefully they diversify the guys she's paired with too, because her character seems to be into or date pretty much the same type of guy over and over.
@@GeteMachine they could’ve just written her off the show by saying that she was in college
Jerry Trainor is hilarious, and he’s like actually funny in this
He wasn't before
@@murderman8578 NO ONE ASKED YOUUUU
@@kaylaclarity600 I read this in crazy steves voice lmao
He's one of the few funny moments in the episodes.. had me laughing out loud
I feel like they dumbed him down a bit too much for this new series. He was funny in the original as well, but had moments of intellect and seriousness as well.
Spencer saying “Damnit”, Carly saying “Bitch” and Harper saying “Crazy Ass”, Even though the actress for Harper wasn’t in the original, it makes me feel so old now that they are able to Curse. I love it
It feels weird for those characters to cuss. It’s cool though that it’s been so long that they can cuss now lol 🙂
same
YESSSSSSS and also that scene where Carly and Freddie were drinking champagne- OOF it seriously had me shook for a second😂😂
@@cassieclover99 well they're adults now they're finally old enough to start drinking champagne and stuff and that they're now on a more mature network that allows them to do such things
@@marlonclark1896 hahaha yes i know, I just meant it makes me feel kind of old in the same sense of seeing them openly cursing and what not, like wow they're really in their late 20s now and casually drinking mimosas! It was all done so well- respecting the icarly universe to where we who group of with the show can still connect with it, with the more mature themes being brought it. It was smooth and perfect.
I think it’s realistic that Carly and Sam have split ways. I mean the show sets it up that they were in grade school (7-9) when they met and they were in middle school and high school throughout the show. It’s more realistic for your friends from that era NOT to be in your life by the time you’re in your mid 20s.
True, but I like to think they still keep in touch in this universe but they're not as close anymore. Like sam traveling around the world makes senses her character felt like she would be really free spirited as an adult and not want to have a 9 to 5 job. So her character not being in this reboot makes sense.
@@XMissGX I think that’s really realistic too. My sister just told my mom that her friend from fifth grade had another baby. They’re not bffs anymore, but they do keep in contact with each other or at least are fb friends.
I really hope the little girls character gets some development quick. Her whole trait and existence is her being mean. It’s annoying as hell.
Ikr
I feel they are trying to hard to have a new megan
Agreed
@@jg2601 that’s a good perspective even though Megan annoyed me too lol it wasn’t this forced
I agree. Her character needs a lot of work.
The reboot is pretty good so far. Surprisingly well adjusted to the modern age. It honestly does feel a bit off without Sam, but I understand why she's not here and I would never want to selfishly have Jennette return considering she very much does not want to, for good reason. Overall it was pretty solid.
Maybe they should have just recast her character or something.
@@GeteMachine They'd get a lot of hate if they did that. It would appear too much like they were casting Jennette aside.
As not a reboot
@@gymguy8780 Yeah, I gotta stop calling it that lol. It's a revival as it picks up where the old show left off.
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog Yeah but she didnt want to do it though. But I get that people would still complain. Though to be honest her character wasnt really that essential. i mean she was mostly just hitting Freddy and talking about meat. Not sure how they'd adapt her old character into a more realistic and older setting. Not to mention Janette just gets type casted a lot in everything shes been on. So I can see why she didnt want to return.
This is what Girls Meets World and Raven Home should of been like.
And the lizzie maguire's reboot as well
And was cancelled for that reason
@@raidenstark315 especially if the characters are 30, god bless this show.
I really enjoyed GMW
I thought Girl Meets World and Ravens Home were good.....
@@raidenstark315 hopefully after we some success with this show disney will look at the Lizzie reboot again and say okay, lets do this
The fact that Mr Mosby directed this makes everything more iconic.
Wait FR!?
wait what
@@lemon-nu7xp yes, he is the director of the pilot and (Wikipedia says) episodes 4,12 and 13
The only character I didn’t like was Millicent, because she just seems too much like your average bratty kid. I’m hoping her character is fleshed out more, because she does have potential
Yeah, I have to agree. Freddie doesn't look or act near old enough to be a convincing adoptive father, either, so Millicent feels out of place.
She was the worst character and a terribly written child character. Literally her only personality traits are selfish, greedy, bratty, rude, and entitled. And she wasn't even bratty in a funny way like Megan from Drake and Josh. She is literally a one dimensional stereotype of a gen Z child. And the worst part is the adults reward her behavior and treat her like she is a perfect little angel who deserves to be worshipped. She made the 3rd episode a lot worse. I hope they either fix her character and give Freddie a spine or have her barely show up in any scenes. She has the potential to completely ruin the reboot like the kids ruined Raven's home. I don't blame the child actor but I do blame the bad writing for her character. She is so disliked that the next episode should be titled "iHate Freddie's Daughter". If they don't fix her or at least make her appearances scarce, she could end up ruing the whole show like Chloe ruined the Fairly Oddparents.
@@AuraKumo104 I dont think the kids ruined Ravens Home. Other than the neighbour kid who felt uneeded.
@@SmartSmears Raven's home should have been about Raven and her character development but instead it was about her young children. That's why a lot of people didn't like it. It was treated as more of a generic kids show for the current generation rather than a sequel about Raven. She was more of a side character rather than a main character in a show that was supposed to be about her but was about a bunch of children instead. At the very least Raven was an actual parent and said no.
Jase Martin Honesly could not agree more. Her character was so obnoxious and I don’t know why TV show writers think bratty/mean kids are cute and funny to audiences. Especially on Disney Channel/Nickelodeon, they always tend to write bratty little girls as the comic relief, cute little sister character, the cute “evil” one.. but it’s not “cute” to be a selfish brat who constantly bullies and manipulates her family. I hope they make her more likable in future episodes, because I agree that Millicent has the potential to ruin the entire reboot- she can still be sassy & maybe have a little bit of an attitude, but it’s not fun to watch a little girl straight up bully her family and friends. (No blame at all to the actor, she is fantastic and adorable, writing is just cliche and overall terrible for her character.)
I loved this reboot. Its just more iCarly but for a slightly older audience (which i guess was the point)
Am i the only one who laughed hard at the Carlys dad is in the Airforce but for some reason in a submarine gag
can someone please explain what that meant ?? i didn’t get it 😭
@@iahmarielle in the original show, their dad is in the Air Force. However, it's mentioned many times that he's on a submarine. People realized that those two things didn't make any sense and the revival finally acknowledged it
that was a fantastic bit
How did they do it?
@@melissasmith2622 the horses name was friday
Dan 'get in the van' Schneider is not working on this show
That gives this show a extra star right off the bat before even watching the show
this is his creation but without him this is fan fiction
Lame. So no strange camera angles, changing clothing, and multiple feet zoom clips. Dan made the show what it was!
Overused joke
@@anomalous34 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M DEAD
Say what you will about the man but you can’t deny he makes/made some great shows
I like it so far, but I hope Millicent grows as a character. She feels like every steriotype an old person would try and describe someone her age, and she doesn't get out of that.
My name is Millicent
Sam did
I feel her bad behavior is a bit overdone, it feels a bit like a Gen Z stereotype, like you said, or another example of the bratty child trope children's shows have used so much.
I want her to be the vehicle for Carly and Freddie's character development. There have been some hints towards that, so I'm hopeful.
Freddie learns to be a parent, while Carly is the person Millicent looks up and learns to be her mentor.
Both need to grow into adults as they're both still the same as they're were as teens. Carly is still falling for every hot guy she sees, and Freddie is still easily pushed around and not in control of his life.
Both'll learn to be adults and I believe Millicent will be the key figure in the development of both.
They did a great job with this revival! I can't wait to see more. I love how Carly questioned her dad's career, he's in the Air Force but on a submarine. And she glanced over a question about her mom 😂
*airforce. Navy usually are on boats and subs, airforce are in planes.
@@starsiadraws thanks. I forgot
I wish Sam’s life/career was more like Jennette McCurdy’s. Instead of a biker gang, they should’ve had Sam trying to work on bettering herself (and helping other people). This would allow for Sam to have some character development, and would be more comfortable for Jennette to play her again (incase she ever wanted to join the revival in the future).
I agree i feel that would have been much better for her character.
True, I feel like that would fit with the more mature theme of the revival too. Sam had a lot of serious issues in the first series (anger management problems, a fairly abusive mother, etc) but those were usually played off as jokes.
if jennette ever decides to come back to icarly, they might still go this route. as far as we know she's joined a biker gang but we don't know for how long or if she's not doing anything besides that
i saw some people saying if jennete ever did come back, the most she'd probably be willing to do is direct an episode since shes completely done with acting now and is more into directing and filmwriting
@@christina3537 probably. If - a huge if - she appears, it will be as a gift for Miranda and Nathan. She really hates that she was forced into acting as a child. She sums it up pretty well in the beginning of her episode of the Iced Coffee Hour podcast.
I understand why and completely support Jeanette McCurdy not returning to the show, it’s just a little sad as head and Miranda Cosgrove played such big role in my childhood
Freddys role as a “father” just feels completely out of place. He is such a push over and I hope later on he actually acts like a dad and not trying to be a friend. I think it could of been written out.
They’ll definitely do that at some point i feel. I mean come on the show just started gotta give some time to develop all these roles and traits, ya know?
It feels like they are setting up his arc to be that, which makes sense since he was basically the one doing everything for sam and carly who could be beligerent at times, and was a total pushover to them, so it makes sense for his arc to be growing out of those habits.
He was like that before that's the character.
@@icecreamhero2375 he’s a adult Man AND father he should not be acting like push over especially being pushed by his own daughter
@@mastersprogram True but Freddie was always a wennie.
I was super worried that it would either hold on too much of the old humor and feel overly childish/outdated, or go over the top with the adult humor but so far they’ve done a pretty good job balancing the two. I really like the more meta jokes where they kinda poke a little fun at the inconsistency of the original show and even poke a little fun at the whole paramount plus thing lol
I was surprised by how much I genuinely laughed. While in some aspects, the show can be viewed as more than a bit pretentious, I really like how it was clear that they had a specific goal in mind and knew exactly who the audience for this show would be i.e who the show is for. They not only respect the people who grew up watching the show, but they embraced them in ways that are more than just references. That's at least from my pov. These first three episodes show a lot of promise of what's to come and I can't help but have faith that the crew will do their best to deliver.
I also think that despite the show being a revival of a really succesful show, they're still trying to find out what they really want and what kind of structure they want to have when it comes to telling a story. And the show already has a lot of haters because every person wanted the other Schneider shows to have a revival or reboot (Something that's really hard to achieve because almost every show has had some kind of controversial issues when it comes to the cast, or the cast is way too busy working on their own projects). If the Icarly revival gets succesful, then Paramount+ might consider producing the other revivals as well. This show is the blueprint for a lot of potential revivals of Nickelodeon shows.
Considering Victorious didn't have a proper send off, that all cast members are still good friends with each other and that they've stated multiple times they would be down for a reunion, I don't know why they would pass up the opportunity of having a Victorious reunion movie to test out the waters instead. Much less money and time investment to make a finale movie to wrap up loose ends than a whole series of a revival. I'm wondering what their plan ultimately is because from where I'm standing this is not exactly the safest project for them to go with.
I gave it like one more second of thought and suddenly realized, "Oh, yeah, Ariana Grande is probably expensive as all hell, so that's another factor to consider."
I’d love a victorious revival (that’s the only revival I care about tbh, most other nick shows had proper conclusions so revivals aren’t really needed imo) but idk how they would do that. That show had a pretty big main cast and that’s a lot of schedules to work around, plus Ariana would probably be expensive if she came back lol. Maybe it could just focus on tori + 1 or 2 others and the rest can guest or be reoccurring. They’re going to start filming for the fairly odd parents reboot soon (I know it’s not a Schneider show) but maybe if that and icarly are success we’ll see another one
That and the show focused a lot on a school setting. They would have to figure out a good reason for them all to come together outside of such a confined environment.
@@jaceladag Having a revival without Cat/Ariana would be so weird. Cat, Andre, and Jade carried the show. I hope that if they do a revival, she'll come back. I'm sure she'd accept the offer.
The tone feels somewhere in between the original show, and your typical CBS sitcom like The Big Bang Theory.
It feels more "real", as in, people randomly cursing or talking about typical stuff like sex and shit, but not to the point of being too much or over the top as some shows are. I can tell they're somewhat aiming for that route, which is great, because they can keep the cringe at bay, while still delivering some funny stuff and making it feel real or natural. I'm willing to give it a shot... I mean, I gave TBBT and 2 ¹/² Men years of my life... what the hell do I have to lose, lol. If anything, the little girl is annoying, so, if they want a Megan Parker/Jake Harper kinda deal with her, then they should work on making that kid less of a nuisance and more of the sassy/punchline type like those characters were on their shows.
I actually think that was the better move to adapt it like a modern sitcom actually. The realness, and grounded reliability feels more refreshing than how a bit absurd the original was in its later seasons due to how generally Dan Schneider's shows started to go after iCarly's first season. At least to me. Now with Paramount it feels like the characters are just acting closer to how the actors actually are in real life and not really acting as over the top as they kind of were in the Nickolodeon show.
And I agree, that kid characters can get annoying if they're only there just to be bratty, but at the same time its fine if they're done in a clever way like how Megan was in Drake and Josh. She does need moments of cool down too where she contributes her support the cast as well as her mischief. Hopefully she has some real kid problems too for the other characters to help her with, so we can sympathize with her too.
Just have the kid say "That is not my job". It'll work as a Drake and Josh reference too
The fact that you watched the big bang theory means your opinion dows not matter
@@kavalogue Trust me, I'm not proud of it myself, lol
I agree with most of this comment. They found the perfect balance of letting the characters grow up without losing who they are. I didn't mind Millicent as much as (it seems) most people did. Is she a snot-nosed bratty child? Yep. But then again, most kids are 😂 I found myself thinking, "she's only slightly worse than my nephew" every time she did something obnoxious 😂
Honestly the show’s new soundtrack is going to take some getting used to, BUT it should be noted that unlike Rugrats, iCarly’s next episode will be released next Thursday. 10 subsequent weekly releases from the first with the three
They’re acting is special, they all have such a chemistry

Fun Fact: Lewbert and Nora are happily married, with a child, in real life.
yep
Even funner fact she was 13 years old when she met him on iCarly and he was 29! And by funner I mean disgusting.
Well that’s in character for Lewbert somehow
@@alissaaluiso217 wait seriously. Nora was only 13 when she came on iCarly? I don't remember her being that young. But if that's the case then it is weird.
@@bobc7557 yes! She is now 27 and played that character back in 2007. That was 14 years ago, she was 13 and he was 29. It’s disgusting.
also if you didnt notice, in ep 1, spencer actually brings up the fact that he sold the freddy doll he made to “nora dershlit” literally hinting she’d be in the next episode. they dont play with these little easter eggs!
That what happens when the Executives gives the creators freedom (I’m looking at you Disney with that Lizzie McQuire revival)
True, but Dan is not running the revival of iCarly
@@RyanCalebSmith That’s definitely a bigger plus right there
@@brandonalex7233 Yes, it Miranda and Jerry who are Danwarp veteran as they star in 2 series (D&J and iCarly) and guest stars in Zoey 101 and Victorious, and not think of very strange ideas that include feet and other things. That's why I felt confident in both of them as they both on the first 2 shows and they seem success so far 😏🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
its been to long for that 1 it wont work
I really like how this show doesn’t use the more adult edge as a crutch, they don’t have the characters constantly dropping swear words and sexual jokes every other sentence as a way to go “See guys! Look at how adult this show is now!” They do say that stuff but it’s used in moderation and never feels forced, which I like because again, it would’ve been so easy for them to just make this a show where the only thing driving it is the gimmick of “ICarly now with swearing” But they didn’t do that and I really respect that
TBH, while the actress playing Millicent has done a great job with what she’s been given so far, I think the show would be better if there were no kids. Just have all adults, Friends/HIMYM style. I think they only added her because they needed a storyline for Freddie lol
Millicent is a bit too bratty but I feel the show would be a bit empty without her. I think the soul of the show is the girl finding something she loves and following that passion. Millicent keeps that soul alive as a new generation going through that, while helping the original generation go through their own hurdles. Well, she _is_ the hurdle. I believe Freddie and Carly will grow into adults by caring for Millicent. Freddie will finally learn not to be a pushover as a parent, while Carly will learn to be less self-centered as a mentor.
“Would you like AHM OR FIM?”
That will never stop being funny. Enough said.
Wrong show buddy
@@the_ninja_squad5143 They mentioned it in the video. I know what it is.
@@abellewis3062 it’s funny because I think he’s behind the scenes of this show lol his name pops up when the show starts after the opening
@@bankaispirits Surprisely he directed episodes of ALOT of shows.
I won’t lie, for some reason I couldn’t really get into the first episode. I was trying, I even chuckled(or rather, smiled) a few times. But I felt like I was just watching it, BECAUSE it was ICarly, not because it was funny. But, I actually honestly liked the second and third episodes a lot and really laughed quite a bit.
Don’t worry, shows (especially these characters that haven’t been jumped into in Years!) usually take a few episodes to get “good” again
Trust me no series has the pilot episode as the best episode
I really like how they mentioned the fact that her dad was on a submarine, even though he’s supposed to be a colonel. I didn’t think they’d pick up on that small mistake, but they did, and decided to play it up for laughs.
I think the show is pretty good. I just find Millicent annoying and Miranda’s acting a little awkward and cringe since she hasn’t acted in a long time.
I felt that too , you can tell
Noah Munck has in fact given an answer to not appearing in the reboot. He has his own UA-cam channel and answered the question on Moist Critical's podcast.
He said he doesn't want to be known as "just Gibby" he loved being Gibby and being on the show but he wants to make a name for himself. So he's doing his own thing.
and didn't he also say something about being bulled by everyone on set

Rebooting icarly is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh really?
rebooting things well is TIGHT!!!
Felt the whole famous web show concept was ahead of thier time.
Wow, wow, wow, wow...
So, do you have a reboot for me?
I thought it was a decent enough reboot, can’t wait to see more.
As not reboot
I binge watched them last night, having grown up with this one and I couldn't wait. Admittedly I still really wish they would've brought along Gibby at least because I really enjoyed the relationships he had with everyone, especially Spencer. lol And I mean there's a lot of other little things like Freddie filming with a smartphone but then it's just on a tripod so he's basically not doing anything? Also Millicent just felt like the only character that didn't really fit, she doesn't even call Freddie her dad? Like I want to know what made him want to adopt a kid that isn't his when they don't seem to have a connection lol
I believe it was said that Millicent is a kid that Freddie won custody over (because the relationship didn't work out with Freddie and his wife so he got a divorce)
@@kyliesmith9199 o so it's his actual biological kid? The interviews led me to believe she was his stepdaughter
@@mynameisluist he married her mom for presumably a few years. Adopted her before that and then when the divorce happened he ended up with her. Probably not by choice
@@mynameisluist i dont think she is biological, im pretty sure it goes like this. Freddie gets married to a woman who has a child so she becomes his stepdaughter, they get divorced but maybe she's never had a father figure and ig technically that would make her his adopted daughter still, so he gets SHARED custody over her. c:
@@emilyhendricks8544 okay yeah thanks I really didn't get that whole dynamic haha I wonder how much it will dive into Freddie being a father, I love the idea of him moving in with someone else like Gibby because I feel like being with his mom takes away a bunch of that responsibility with how she takes care of him and her but we'll just have to wait!

Nora Dershlit coming back is honestly my favorite part of the revival.

"Gibby" is now apart of a show called "The Goldbergs." I actually really enjoy the newer seasons, and he's apart of this band of friends that the main character's older brother is the leader of. Miranda is actually in one of the episodes as Barry's college teacher (Barry is the older brother). She goes on a date him, and Barry screwed it up. They only did that because Miranda had to go to the reboot.
Oh I’ve watched the goldbergs! I didn’t know he was in the show now!
@@mastersprogram I think he’s in Barry’s “jtp” thing like his friend group
How have I gone this long without realizing that Naked Rob on the Goldbergs is Gibby 🤦🏻
@@TheAlanSims no idea
He's been on The Goldbergs. Like since the second or third season. Unless one is an avid watcher of the show, it's not really anything new.
ok so in the lead up to ICarly 2021 i rewatched the entire series and honestly it feels like a natural continuation Millicent is kinda annoying but in the way that was intentional and im pretty sure she will get less annoying as the show goes on. Harper is a great character so far and i like how her being Pansexual isnt given too much attention minus a few passing lines and her flirting /dating people. i've avoided the trailers for the show so getting Nora back in episode 2 came as a shock to me and im hoping we see characters such as Nevel also make a return maybe we can even get Chuck to come back and harass spencer again. but honestly if you had told me that this was written the day after filming Igoodbye and was always planned i would believe you as it stays extremely true to the original while giving it its own room to breathe hopefully this trend continues for the rest of the season and maybe even later seasons
i loved how they didnt make a big deal of her sexuality the same way they wouldn't for a straight person.
I think they could do a lot more to expand on the relationships the characters have, I mean to be honest Carly's is kind of narrow. She tends to just date the same types of guy for superficial reasons all the time in the series. If they expanded on her dating and sexuality, they could do more with her too to at least experiment with it instead of her always saying she never likes who she dates, all the time. They could do more. And they never seem to let Spencer ever legitimately meet a woman for longer than a few minutes.
I really loved it honestly it felt like a real continuation that was mature enough but didn’t deviate too hard from the original. And I liked seeing where everyone is now and seeing Freddie as a Dad and Carly starting the channel again and I love how they made Carlys roommate queer
I agree. It has that good balance between the new and old elements. ❤️
Millicent as a character feels very one dimensional and her one-liners get old quick. Obviously the actress is amazing and incredibly talented, it’s just unfortunate that the script doesn’t give her much to work with. Other than that I was extremely impressed with these first 3 episodes
I like her but I do feel she'll probably be the character who has the most room for improvement
Hopefully Sam can make at least a cameo if not a full comeback. Great video Jordan!
I would love to see her come back, but only if that's what she wants of course, and thanks so much for watching! :D
I don’t think I’ve ever really seen a show reboot handle the departure of a main character so beautifully, and respectfully like this. Everyone there obviously genuinely respects Jennette, and the fact they’ve both handled the character leaving so elegantly while retaining the possibility of her return is just delightful, even if it doesn’t happen. Warms my heart to see how much they care for and respect her given her horrible childhood trauma.
See fuller house, this is how you do a revival right.
Fuller House lasted five seasons, I think they did just fine
@@eevee241 it wasn't
@@eevee241 nobody agreed with u tho
I can't tell whether you're implying that fuller house was a good revival or a bad revival.
@@jclkaytwo it’s bad, the reason is because it just basically an excuse to redo the original all over again with barley anything new.
After watching Millicent making the interesting meme I realized that she is just Gen Z Megan, and I'm here for it.
Dude same
The reboot feels like a regular CBS sitcom like how I met your mother or big bang theory.
That’s a good thing as I am fan of TBBT and iCarly 🤷🏻♂️
@@RyanCalebSmith I hate when people use that particular emoji. It’s so rude and annoying
@@andrewgarfield9898 all they did was shrug there shoulders that's not rude or annoying.
@@andrewgarfield9898 same 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
As not a reboot
Ok imagine if this show getts its 2nd season and Jennette somehow decides she will return.
The 1st episode can open up by Carly and Freddie entering Spencers apartment only to find Sam laying on the couch eating the popcorn ball. Freddie asks her how'd she get in and Sam gets in his face and says something sarcastic. After that she smurks and sticks a popcorn in his face, ro wich Gibbie comes from the shower and says "just like old times"
If only….😭😭😭😭
I literally could see her beating the shit outta everyone and it would feel right
I think that would be cool if sam phones Freddie from prison and says I need some help and don't tell carly and Freddie gets Spencer to help pay for the bail for sam and not tell carly but they tell her and Freddie gets her out of jail and brings her to Spencer's apartment and sam says mommas back baby
@@griffithstone8527 I know I'm just daydreaming and I totally understand her choice I would probably make the same one if I was in her place and I was just thinking of an idea that could be similar to how she is apart of the biker gang
If Gibby don’t wanna come back hire that Russian kid Hasbulla
Lmao fax
I SCREAMED WHEN HARPER SAID ABOUT THE FURRY THING JSHFIANSHDHS
My soul feels at ease knowing that icarly is back.
The iCarly theme song manifested its own success and popularity. No wonder why iCarly was THAT SHOW during its time, I’m tryna reach iCarly level success too😌
I wasn't expecting much from this show when i saw the trailer but I actually enjoyed it. It brought back memories of the show I loved when I was a teen and I can't wait for more. I also like the fact that Carly is using the word bitchin and pissed because it made me realize that the show grew up as I did.
I’ll be honest, it felt like we never left. It did feel more progressive and with today’s time, such as Harper being pan, them bringing up canceling and the pandemic, live-streaming, and there being people that are easily “offended.” But I did enjoy that meme section, especially with Miranda’s meme being referenced. But everyone’s character is the exact same, and I love how both kids and adults can enjoy it, just like how the og show was and is! It still has heart, which is what made it enjoyable to me
One of my favorite things was how Freddy and Spencer worked so well together as a sort of comedic relief in some scenes. They really mesh well as characters and you can tell the actors had no trouble getting comfortable acting together again. They really build off of each other’s energy, and it almost feels like now we have the same lovable and memorable Spencer-energy times two! Plus, with the age difference I think they have potential for some really heartwarming moments of Freddy looking to Spencer for advice, especially because both of them sort of raised a child in a non-conventional scenario.
I think Carly and Fred will def get married by the end of the show it makes sense
I am calling it now! 😌
Nah, I like the male/female best friend platonic dynamic
I hope not
I hope not tbh
I hope so too!
they really built freddie up so much from a nerd in the pilot to a bad boy esc man in sam and cat... just to crush him now 😂😭
Freddy having an adopted 12 year old just isn't right.
I agree especially because she is a very poorly written stereotype of a modern gen z kid.
I actually like it
@@joshentertainment2 he’s the modern day Ross geller

1) i rlly like how they dealt with sam not being on the show. they way carly brought her up to freddie felt very natural and it made sense. i’m also glad harper wasn’t a poor imitation of sam at all, she was definitely her own character and i thought she had a good chemistry with carly. 2)i hope gibby will make an appearance. his character was just so good on the original. 3)i would rlly like to see an arc where millicent grows as a person and i would like to see freddie being more of a hands-on father figure to her. like in the last ep, he had some opportunities for parenting but it felt like he didn’t take advantage at all and i think if he did, it would help him and millicent grow as characters a lot.
Although it's a reboot, it feels like a new season of the original which is amazing. It feels like the show had never ended.
Mr. Moseby directed this?! Ah, I think this show is definitely doing something right. The people doing these reboots and remakes can either stop or learn from this
The first episode is kinda rough but most new shows are because they’re trying to figure out where they’re going with the show. And I know they’ll figure it out. I still really enjoyed the three episodes we got so far! It surprised me.
it feels like icarly and himym mixed in together the 3rd episode was the best of the 3 as it took a little while for the ball to start rolling past nostalgia
I am looking forward to seeing nevel and principal franklin. Out of the first 3 episodes I think the first is my favorite, it feels so natural. I hope the show stars building more on the new characters so we can get attached to them, I want some back story.
It ain’t crap like Raven’s Home and that’s all that matters to me. I enjoyed the show and I’m looking forward to more development in the characters and their relationships. We are just scratching the surface
If there is one character I want to see in the reboot even if it’s just a short cameo, it’s James Maslow (I think his character was named Shane, the guy Carly and Sam fought over in the beginning of the show)
Harper is a really good character. Instead of her replacing Sam they made a very compelling character. And I think a lot of the show hinged on if Harper was a good character since she’s a new character to the series
I really loved those pearphones, as a kid i always wanted that.
The revival was so good
I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Your new content feels like you are passionate and actually enjoying things again and it makes me extremely happy. I started really heavily watching your videos just before you stopped making videos and that break you took was much needed for you mentally and I can tell it’s helped so much. Another amazing video, thank you for all the free quality content.
Wow this comment means so much to me, I truly appreciate the kindness and support, thank you so much! 😭
I was actually belly laughing at this! Although I jumped off iCarly I think halfway through the initial run, this revival is great fun. The humor is much better and the characters are, as you said, well in line with how they were left. Maturing the jokes really lets the creativity loose more and I was loving the material they came up with.
For some of you guys who don’t know, the reason McCurdy isn’t in the reboot is because she quit acting. She became an actor to support her family and when her mom died, she felt that there was no point in continuing to act.
No the reason was she had a bad experience behind the scenes with dan schneider on the original show
@@zivgolan4921 I mean that is true, but Schneider isn't working on the new show so I'm not sure if it's relevant.
@@zivgolan4921 that was another reason
R.I.P. Jennette's mom!!!!! :( D:
Jeanette has expressed an interest in returning to acting lately.
and while i don’t see her becoming a regular actress again, or even returning to iCarly as Sam full time again, i do think she could return at some point.
maybe when the revival ends she’ll be the equivalent of Carly’s dad in the original series.
someone they’ve been building up to all this time.
Although personally I think some of the messages about today’s internet culture felt a little forced, the show definitely hasn’t lost its magic of the original!
I love how you acknowledged that the og will always be there for us and can never be marred by later shows- it’s very true! There are plenty of references to the first show while stile managing to build its own world; something I can for sure appreciate!
I love that they brought back the ice cream sandwhich sofa in ep. 2. I was obsessed with that thing everytime they show it in the original series because I wanted to have one. It was also featured in a special tour or something for the show and I just looove that sofa. I thought it was being sold off or given as a prize for a fan. Glad they have it and used it again.
I really like that they kept the more bizarre energy of the original while still making it different. Harper and Millicent are definitely a breath of fresh air and they fit in so well with the other characters. I honestly wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.
i had to pause for like 10 minutes when that dude broke up with Carly
Dan Schneider watching the revival*
Dan: BUT WHERE'S THE *_F E E T_* ???
Dan got de-feet-ed :D
@@romanticrockstar94 Good one
I love how the original show was mostly about the rise of the media stage,and now this show depicts the current stage of the internet
“I guess somethings are meant to be, so I’ll leave the rest to them” nice call back to the theme song
0:07 same. I literally stayed up until 1am to watch icarly and i was super tired lmao. i finished and then went to sleep in seconds.
It’s virtually impossible to watch the new iCarly in my country so I will just watch this without watching it :)
Use soap2day

piracy is your friend
@@worstperson2ask NO piracy!!!!!
One thing that made this show even better for me I think, is that I watched your previous iCarly video on how the original handled and respected Internet culture and content creation in a such a good way. While I knew this was there in the OG, I wasn’t l that actively conscious of it I don’t think. Your video bringing that to the front of my mind helped me really appreciate how the continuation is doing the same, in a more grown up and modern-relevant way. They did a great job with the first three episodes.
What a nice surprise! I hate to say I go into most reboots now just expecting the worst, but it was so nice to see this show have the same vibe as the original but with a refreshing new feel to it. Great video!!
My favorite characters were Sam and Gibby and I can really feel there absence. Freddie and Spencer were great before, but I feel like they kinda ruined Freddie. Spencer is pretty much the only character I still enjoy watching
Freddy is kinda going bald
I just finished binging the old series a few weeks ago and this one literally just feels like the next season, mind you with a major time jump. I love it.
THANK YOU. For a minute I was convinced they traveled back in time to 2006, scooped up Chase Matthews, and brought him back to play Beau.
