iCarly is a TV series about 3 teenagers who make a web-show. They do it on their own without any adult assistance. They use technology like green screens, video camera, a sound effect machine and computers. There are no rules when it comes to their web-show titled “iCarly”. Every web-show focuses on something new and they try their best to do funny and outrageous things to attract more viewers.
The 3 main characters are friends with different personalities but who get along very well. Sam, one of the girls, is very aggressive. Carly, the “star” of the show is kind and the peacemaker. Freddie, the teen boy, is intelligent and the one behind the technical aspects of the web-show. Their families are unique too. Carly’s brother, Spencer is an artist and is her caregiver. Freddie’s mother is extremely over protective. Sam’s family isn’t really shown, but her mother is mentioned.
iCarly also has it’s own real website where you can read blogs, see photos, play game, send in your own videos and watch bonus videos that are not on the TV show.
My daughter’s review: “I just love to watch iCarly. There’s always something funny about it. I like that it has to do with computers and that it has it’s own website. I like Freddie because he’s so cute and good with computers. I also like Spencer because he’s an awesome artist and makes me laugh. I wish they could at least show Sam’s mother.”
My review: The iCarly DVD is family friendly and I don’t mind my daughter watching it alone. I like the way that the teen characters work out problems and learn from each other and the adults. Since my daughter is interested in computers, I think it inspires her to learn and do more on her own tech wise. It also creates more things for us to talk about.

My little girl is still into Dora but it’s good to read about wholesome shows for when she is older.

This sounds like a show I would enjoy watching, I have a Dora fan little princess right now myself, but I love to be in the “know” of the trends, it helps me to be able to speak to them on their level, and they love to chat with a grown up who obviously knows what they are talking about.
Just a tad behind my son’s watching levels, heck I can’t pry him away from online games, but you did an excellent job with this review! Sounds like parents can have the confidence their kids are watching cool shows and learning or thinking of ways to use the internet themselves (always a good idea!).

Fantastic to see young people taking initiative like this and doing something really constructive. It just goes to show how younger people are becoming a lot smarter as we get more and more modernised.

another thing going for iCarly is that truechild gave them an A rating for how they handle male/female stereotypes – here is a link to their rating of iCarly: http://www.truechild.org/tvreportcards/font-classsize12School-Age-font/font-classSize14iCarlyfont
