iCarly is a kids TV show on Nickelodeon. It was created by Dan Schneider and first aired on September 8, 2007.
Storyline
iCarly is based around a web show that teenager Carly Shay films in her attic. In the original episode Carly and her best friend Sam are acting funny during a talent audition at school. Their friend Freddie records it and puts it on the internet. It becomes a hit and people want more. So Carly and Sam, with Freddie as cameraman, host an online show where they do all sorts of different thing each tv episode including skits, have talented guests, interview people, and more.
The web show iCarly is the centerpiece to the show, but it's also about the three friends (Carly, Sam, and Freddie) growing up as teenagers and all the stuff they have to deal with like school and parents. Carly is in a unique situation as well as she is being raised mostly by her older brother, Spenser.
