IGot a Hot Room

iGot A Hot Room is the fourth season premiere episode of iCarly, and is the 71st episode of the series overall. The episode aired on July 30, 2010, and was marketed as an iCarly special.

Plot
It's Carly's birthday, and all her friends help celebrate, starting with a Gibby and cherry-flavored pie on the show, and a special birthday breakfast.

Spencer's birthday present to Carly, a gummy bear lamp, starts a fire that destroys her entire room. Fortunately, thanks to the fact that a watch the Shays inherited from their great-grandmother was destroyed in the fire, Spencer gets an $82,000 reimbursement check, (without telling Carly), and decides to use all of it to rebuild Carly's room.

To distract Carly while everyone is busy, he gets T-Bo give her a job at the The Groovy Smoothie. After Carly comes home, her friends (Spencer, Freddie, Sam, and Gibby) surprise her with her new room, which is equipped with technological gimmicks, a trampoline, and a now fire-retardant gummybear chandelier.

During the credits Freddie, Carly and Sam sing the iCarly theme. All of a sudden, Sam and Freddie start singing the Drake & Josh theme. Carly quickly tries to remind them that that's not the iCarly theme, but when they start singing the Victorious theme, she yells offscreen "CUT!"

This is the first episode of Season 4.

Trivia
thumb|300px|right|Sam speaks Italian.
 * This is the first episode after Gibby's promotion to main character (and in turn, Noah Munck's promotion to regular cast member because he appeared in the episodes frequently); he's now in the opening credits.
 * This is the first time T-Bo is seen outside the Groovy Smoothie.
 * Apparently, Carly had a traumatic experience with a goat the year before; even Miranda Cosgrove doesn´t know what the goat did.
 * It is shown that Sam can speak Italian because her mom really likes Italian men, which could imply that Sam is the child of an Italian man.
 * Carly's bedroom is shown for the first time, and is shown quite often in later episodes in this season.
 * The Seattle Fire department chief knows Spencer already, although this is only the second time they have actually come to stop a fire caused by him (the first fire was in iWanna Stay With Spencer).
 * It is revealed that T-Bo has a sister. She was apparently injured when she fell off a ladder while working with Spencer.
 * Carly gets a "job" at the Groovy Smoothie in this episode; this is the second time someone from the main iCarly trio (Sam, Carly and Freddie) has gotten a job. The first was Sam in iOwe You, who got a job at "Chili My Bowl" in order to pay back money she owed to Carly and Freddie.
 * Spencer unveils his new Pear Pad. This is the first time a Pear Pad has been shown on the show. However, the first time the Pear Pad was ever shown was in series creator Dan Schneider's other series, Victorious.
 * The two pillows on Carly's new bed have Penny-Tee phrases. One says "Church Pants", and the other says "Parole Baby," both of which are from iStakeout. Since this episode, Carly's bed pillows have changed, and they often have phrases from shirts that Freddie previously wore (see Creddie).
 * According to this episode and the website blog promoting it, Carly loves Gummy Bears.
 * Another thing Spencer builds catches on fire, and this is the second time it is a main point of an episode; this is also the second time Spencer's habit of setting things on fire has temporarily ruined a date or holiday (the first being iChristmas).
 * A shank is a type of shiv that is made from the metal shank of a prison-issued boot or shoe.
 * At the end of the episode, the cast sing the theme songs from three Nickelodeon sitcoms created by Dan Schnieder "Make it Shine" (the theme to Victorious), "Found a Way" (the theme to Drake and Josh), and Leave It All to Me (the theme to iCarly). Cosgrove is perplexed by hearing the sister show themes, yelling "CUT!" to the producers. This scene was only shown in the original broadcast and an August 1, 2010 repeat of the episode and is replaced with Nickelodeon's marginalized closing credit sequence in all other airings however the scene has been shown in the UK.
 * Despite the fact that this is the fourth season premiere, the second episode of the season, "iSam's Mom", did not air until September 11. The delay in the airing of the other early fourth season episodes is likely in part due to the season having begun production on this season in May 2010, only two months before this episode aired.Ig2.jpg
 * In iAm Your Biggest Fan, Spencer says he made the Seat of Sitting to "make up for Carly's last birthday", because he built her a lava lamp that burst into flames, which means that this is at least the second time Spencer built Carly a defective lamp.
 * It is most likely that Carly turns sixteen in this episode as in iFind Lewbert's Lost Love from the previous season, she states that she is fifteen.
 * A shot from the then-unaired episode iGet Pranky (where Spencer is dancing in Carly's mirror) is used in this season's version of the main title sequence, except for unknown reasons it is blurred, whereas other episodes with the same opening do not have it blurred. It was likely blurred in iGot a Hot Room so that Carly's room was revealed before the episode was over then in future episodes it isn't blurred because Carly's room had been revealed.
 * One of the pictures in Carly's room is a picture of Carly, Sam, and Freddie from iGo to Japan.
 * Starting from this episode and onward, everyone looked different.
 * Spencer's hair is shorter, much like Season 1.
 * Carly and Sam wear fake eyelashes and more makeup, and Sam's clothing choices seem to become more like Carly's.
 * Sam's bangs don't show as much.
 * Freddie's arms are thicker.
 * Gibby is taller than Carly, Sam, and Freddie.
 * Carly wears the same green jacket from iPilot.
 * An interesting note is that after this episode aired, 5 of the season 4 episodes premiered in reverse order than their production order.
 * "Over the Top" was an actual Sylvester Stallone film released in 1987.
 * What Carly's previous bedroom looked like was never shown.
 * Following the premiere of the episode, various replicas of some of the things in Carly's rooms were given out as prizes in a sweepstakes contest.

Goofs

 * In reality, Spencer's pants wouldn't have fallen down because you can see that he was wearing a belt. (Both a goof and not a goof. Nowadays, some people, usually young men, wear belts mostly to look cool and not to keep their pants up.)
 * Carly wouldn't have gone to school on her birthday, as it is in July, which means that Carly's birthday was still January 14th when the episode was made.
 * If Carly's room had actually burned, Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer, and the firemen wouldn't have been able to stand in there without practically getting sick from the smell of smoke.
