The wildly popular Nickelodeon series iCarly was originally a kid-friendly sitcom featuring an age-appropriate cast getting into childlike shenanigans. However, as the cast grew out of childhood, so did the show’s reliability. The show left the air as its actors and their characters grew with it. With the recent revival, however, the cast returned, and the show got a less kid-friendly edge. Perhaps, Carly and Freddie’s relationship is the best example of this. 

‘iCarly’ returned with a revival series

According to IMDb, iCarly was one of Nickelodeon’s most successful children’s sitcoms when it premiered in 2007. The show’s premise, in which its titular character creates a web show, coincided with the rise of YouTube as a source for ordinary people to pursue careers in entertainment. It helped anchor a brand new age for young millennials and Gen Z alike.
