I agree, it has to be drawn out. Like in Bones, Booth and Brennan don't get together immediately and have problems because if they did get together the show would have no purpose whatsoever, even besides the cases, because the shipping became a huge part of the show. If Sam and Freddie immediately got together, sure iCarly would have their usual filler problems, but it would lose a lot of it's substance because already Sam and Freddie are in a relationship.
