Principal Ted Franklin

Ted Franklin (born October 30, 1961) is the principal at Ridgeway High. He never hesitates to discipline troublemaking students (particularly Sam) but does so in a fair and kind-hearted way rather than the "usual" strict way of most principals in the media. He goes out of his way to be fair and on occasion sides with students over teachers who pick on students or make false accusations. He's the only adult character (regular or recurring) who isn't portrayed in a comically inept or negative light. He is fond of Carly and Freddie. He is used to seeing Sam in his office to give her detention on a regular basis. Ted and his kids are iCarly fans themselves. Like his students, Ted seems to dislike Ms. Briggs and Mr. Howard's rude behavior to his students, and it appears that the feeling is mutual.
