I feel like Carly kinda had low energy in the web-show. I think she probably needs a partner then who can hype her up. Jennette/Sam was the one who came with the majority of the energy for the iCarly web-show. So Sam not being there might make things slightly less fun for Carly

I think its her maturity more than anything. Sam wasn't there to hype Carly up, she was already naturally like that without Sam. Same with Freddie. They were both more energetic on the original show and I think it's gone in this reboot because in reality, the show has different writers, but narratively, they're just older. If Sam was on the show, i honestly dont expect her to be the exact same now as she was 10 years ago.

[@RodrigoVazquez91]

The reboot concept itself isn't that bad, but the show feels really stiff. Some of the changes I noticed the most, was the lack of ambient/score music during the scenes, that used to give a big emphasis to some parts of the dialogue, not to mention the transitions it used to have in the old version, I know editing styles are not the same nowadays, but that gave a lot of vibrance to the show, now it's just a normal guitar riff, like if it was Friends or something similar. There's just a lack of vibrance, I know sam's absence is notorious, but the show could be better even without her character. Also, the lighting in the show seems darker, but way darker, and less saturated compared to the first version, I don't know if this is a way to make the show feel more mature, but it also reduces it's vibrance.

[@emilygriffith6702]

I honestly kind of miss the original bright vivid wacky layout and set. I know it may not be as “mature” but like... spencer is a crazy artist. I always thought it made sense to be tacky, LOL

[@tradeka4206]

Another thing that really ruins it is the incredibly lazy exposition of everything that’s been going on in the character’s lives. The conversation between Freddie and spencer was terrible, humans don’t talk like that. Any backstory they want to give they just have the character say some line about it in the most simple and generic way possible, and it just sounds so awkward. It’s like a kids’ show but the ones for really little kids that hold your hand and explain every single thing. They could have thought of some better ways to tell the audience these things. It’s just lazy and bad writing. Another thing that you can’t get around is that the acting is just bad. Every line is awkward. Even Jerry Trainor who was amazing in the original show just seems off. It’s bad dialogue with bad delivery, there’s really nothing good I can say about it

@@benedicto2031 That's isn't even close to being true. I know PLENTY of people who's personality has changed as they got older. Hell, my personality now is VERY different from when I was 12.

The only thing is, I would argue their personality has changed, some for the worst, it's just that the humor and its delivery has not changed, except when they include the occasional adult jokes. It's like if we took the cast of ICarly from 2008 and had then be the cast of a more adult comedy show like Seinfeld. It doesn't blend

[@Thee_Deputy]

The show isn't half-bad, but it's really not that great, either. I think it's incredibly weird how the characters haven't really changed in any meaningful ways. And the only attempt at it really is with Freddie being a step-dad. Which feels incredibly forced and Millicent REALLY doesn't mesh well with the cast. Harper fits incredibly well though, feels like a natural addition. While also not feeling like a Sam-replacement. I don't know if I see this getting multiple seasons but if it does-- I suspect we could see a very brief appearance of Sam towards the end.

Okay. No. Doctor Who was a Continuation. Same show, same continuity, same characters. Show just came back from hiatus (could also be classified sequel technically) but definitely not a reboot as in just continues the story of classic who. REBOOT's take the ideas of the original and start from scratch and does completely new things with it. An actual iCarly reboot would involve beginning again with an entirely new cast including a new Carly telling completely new stories with essentially no connection to the original. What they did with Battlestar Galactica for example. REMAKES are similar to reboot's but don't generally happen in TV as much and are more a movie thing. But they're more making almost the exact same thing again but with slight changes. The Office US for instance started out as a remake of the UK version before evolving into its own thing. The first episodes are almost identical with the same jokes. All this is the say iCarly (2021) is not a reboot it's a continuation/sequel/revival of the original show.

Right off the bat, the whole reboot seems so bland. The humour isn't exactly on point and the laughing clips don't make much sense. Maybe that's just me. iCarly was once a beloved Nickelodeon show and now it transitioned into something that's a bit more generic in 2021.

[@testmeimmortal752]

true :/. tbh it's okay. I would give it a 5.6/10. I watch the episodes and for some reason, it looks awkward? it looks like the cast doesn't think SOME of the jokes are funny. and most of the time, the laugh tracks aren't necessary.

@@loturzelrestaurant Your comment proves EXACTLY what I’m referring to the kind of people criticizing ICarly. The themes (in lack of a better word) are the forceful adult jokes i was referencing to. It seems forced and I get it - a lot of people (such as Jay Analysis on YT, he touches base on that) have mentioned it. So I get that there are people disliking the show (just like you) for many other reasons as well, but that is just an opinion. I like the show so far despite the flaws that I acknowledge but it’s new and doesn’t deserve brutal harshness, yet.
