User blog comment:SamLuvsHam/What's Your Story: When did you first start watching iCarly?/@comment-4060828-20110906014406

As is usually the case (like how I discovered Kim Possible and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), I was just channel surfing and happened to see a moment that intrigued me (probably Spencer related).

I think the episode was actually iQuit iCarly (thus my immediate devotion to CAM) but I thought Spencer was funny and enjoyed the moments between Carly/Sam/Freddie so that kept me hooked. I'm a big fan of drama/comedy combining (Buffy's spoiled me to the point that I expect every show to be close to that ability to master any/all genres within a single season or series of episodes) and iQiC was great in mixing the best friends breaking up drama with some rather funny stuff so it was a perfect intro episode for me.

Random Aside: I got into Victorious after reading about it here on the iCarly wiki and my first episode was Wok Star (and of course I immediately fell for Jori).
