iCarly
iCarly is a hit series on Nickelodeon. It is a 
show about a young girl who lives with her older brother Spence, who is also her guardian. Her father is in the Navy and is at sea. She produces her own web casts from her attic (Emily, 2007). This is her attempt at being a good role model rather than looking for fame or fortune. This show is also the "First scripted series that will incorporate kid-created original content" (IMDb, 2008).
This show appeals to preteens and teens alike probably due to the general age population on the show, and the chemistry between the actors. The show is interactive because viewers can even send in their own personal videos of their talent, and maybe even end up on the show. Viewers can even email questions for the characters to answer.
The main characters are Carly Shay played by Miranda Cosgrove, Sam Puckett played by Jennette McCurdy, Freddie Benson played by Nathan Kress, and Spencer Shay played by Jerry Trainor (Wikipedia,2008). Miranda and Jerry both starred on Drake and Josh, another hit show on Nickelodeon. Jennette has appeared on Malcolm in the Middle and Zoey 101, shows aimed at preteen and teens. Freddie has appeared on The suite life of Zack and Cody, and has done numerous voiceovers for movies.

I love this show. It was hard to get used to seeing Miranda in this role after being the bratty sister on Drake and Josh, but I like her better in ICarly!!
