Actual iCarly question.

Did any of you basically stop watching it much after a bit of time after iGB or TKTJ passed? If so, have you re-evaluated any episodes? Alternatively, if you have kept watching it regularly, have your views of the stories changed?

In my case, because I was a late-comer who is more a fan of the fans than the series, I decided to view the series in broadcast order. Some of my evaluations stayed the same, but some changed radically. I have some examples:

1. I am absolutely convinced of my disturbing theory that DS fully intended the series to be a thumb in the eye of the kids who kept him from hooking up with his crush. And, IMHO, he took total control to discredit Seddie with the Arc and get Creddie back on track.

2. Although I loved the Seddie Arc at the time because I believed the series was going to mature and take on the issues that the characters would really have at that age. Now I like the stories in isolation, but I get kind of annoyed at how virtually everything in the series from then out is somehow Sam's fault and that DS makes the last years a heavy-handed path to Creddie.

3. Some episodes needed fleshing out (e.g., any BF or GF around whom stories would pivot, such as iMake Sam Girlier; why wasn't Melanie referred to more often; it should have been made explicity that Sam got her promotion over Freddie because of her COMPETENCE at sales). Other characters should have been more prominent (e.g., Wendy).

4. The undermining of the Freddie character is flat out painful from iApril Fools to the end.
