User blog comment:Z!/iCarly: Why Dan Screwed It All Up/@comment-4257094-20130110032835

I disagree on your initial point. I actually thought Season 2 and 3 were the best. But ofc this is a subjective area. :P

Yeah, I agree the show really went downhill towards the end to the point where I haven't seen a lot of the last few episodes save for iGoodbye. Recent episodes always feel rushed and I can sense a lack of effort in the writing; the actors have also been showing their age. I found the the first half of Season 4 mixed; I generally liked iOMG, iGot a Hot New Room, iHire an Idiot but not really episodes such as iSell Penny-Tees or iPity Nevel. The other half of Season 4 was when it became clear to me the show was in a decline in quality as none of the episodes really appealed to me (iBloop 2 was completely unacceptable) with the exception of iLost My Mind. I also have some critical thoughts on the Seddie arc which you can go look at CP's blog if you want to hear since I agree with her. Agreed, the long waits and poor marketing also made me lose interest in the show. I will never understand the shipping situation on this show...iOpen a Restaurant was just mind-boggling to me. Personally, I don't even ship Seddie but I would have just got them back together to keep the majority of fans happy and avoid all of this confusing ship stuff. I think CP also wrote in a blog about a lack of closure in the final season and I think she's right. I would've loved to see a gradual wind down. Haha, I had my own review of Sam & Cat which you can read below if you're interested:

As for the spin-offs, I'm probably not gonna watch Gibby if it gets picked up since he's freaking annoying and he's not a good enough character to star in a lead role imo. Sam & Cat, on the other hand, I will watch (Yes, I'm obv REALLY biased since I'm active on the S&C Wiki.) the first couple of episodes and see what I think; hopefully Dan can pull through a good show now that he doesn't have to work on 2 shows at the same time (given Gibby isn't picked up which hopefully it won't be). Nevertheless, I agree Nick is also going downhill since it's run by idiots but thank god there's other stuff to watch on TV other than Nick that's actually good. =D
