Now for a
look at Season 3 of iCarly.
Along with Sam, Freddie and Gibby they produce the iCarly webcast. As online celebrities they feature anything
entertainment, from fashion, boys, Q&As to contests, dares, pranks, or just
having fun. Not only must they deal with
their online life, but more often it spills into their social/school/love life.
Along with Carly is her wayward older
brother as they live together in Seattle,
Washington where they film iCarly
in their loft.
This is
an atypical life of a modern teen net idols; Carly and her friends. Sam is Carly's neurotic best friend and
co-host to iCarly but she is really lazy. Freddie is their camera man/tech guy and has
on/off relationship with Carly and Sam, plus Gibby is the odd ball who serves
as comic relief. Often they are
accompanied by her eccentric older brother Spencer, who an out-of-work artist,
who helps out in adult situations and has a major sister complex.
While
Carly is no Tori Vega (from Victorious)
the shows are similar in they are both sitcoms on popular teen idols, Carly
tends to appeal to the more modern on-line life style of teens while Tori is
more of a life style of a teen rock star. Most of the episode's themes were on the
issues of teen adolescence or what teens wish their life was like, in all
iCarly reminded me more of a Pee-wee
Herman Show crossed with a bunch of teenagers. Extras include Carly's hot new room tour, meet
Sam's mom, and archenemies.
