I mostly agree. This is a really old plot idea. Neither show thought of it first. Its been around forever. And nothing is really original anymore. Nothing has been truly original for a thousand years really (you can see basic plot points in most stories go back as far as Greek drama). And I think iCarly is the better show times a thousand.

But what makes this different is Shakespeare didn't go around complaining that Ben Johnson or someone else stole his ideas. When iCarly does a whole episode complaining that Disney (Dingo) steals their ideas than it looks bad if they seem to be doing the same thing.
