IHave My Principals

iHave My Principals is the 5th episode of the 3rd Season of iCarly.

Plot
Principal Franklin asks the iCarly gang if he may appear as a guest star on iCarly because it´s his daughter´s birthday, and they agree. After playing "Hey, what am I sitting on?", he gets fired because superintendent Gorman says such things are "unbecoming" of a principal, and Miss Briggs and Mr. Howard become the new co - principals. After they make school unbearable by listening in on what the students are saying in the hallways, making everyone wear blue and khaki uniforms and randomly giving detention (Gibby got detention for being too "Gibby"), Carly and her friends decide to find a way to get Principal Franklin his job back. In a meeting at the Groovy Smoothie, however, he says he has no interest in playing games.

Meanwhile, Spencer tries to learn how to ride a mechanical bull, but soon gets fed up with his teacher and the machine itself. After he calls it "a big, vicious torture machine", Sam decides to use it in their plan.

The next day, Sam and Gibby lock Ms. Briggs and Mr. Howard in a closet while the others terrorize superintendent Gorman, making him ride the mechanical bull and harrassing him in several other ways. Ms. Briggs and Mr. Howard are unable to calm the students down, but when Principal Franklin arrives to pick up his last check and calls out to the students, everyone immediately leaves to class. Following that, Superintendent Gorman makes him principal again.

Trivia

 * In his blogs, Dan Schneider said that this episode references Tim Russ´s (Principal Franklin) real life: he really has a daughter named Emily who is a fan of iCarly.
 * Principal's don't normally have the power to impose school uniforms on students.K.jpg
 * So far, this episode featured what has been by very far the group's most watched webcast yet, with 900,000 viewers, with iSpy a Mean Teacher in second.
 * When Spencer fixed the mechanical bull, he shouts out two very famous songs. He first shouts out "La Bamba" by Richie Valens, and after he gets armored up (in pillows, shinguards, and a helmet) he shouts out "Hey Jude", which was a song by The Beatles.
 * It wasn't explain whether or not Briggs and Howard got parental consent to obtain audio feed in their cameras, nor the clearance of the school board to use the system since most US States do requirement such consent due to wire-tap laws. In those cases, they are legally get video just as long as the audio is muted with obtaining some form of consent is needed for audio. Since it's unclear if they got parental consent, Briggs shouldn't had heard what Sam and Carly had said, same goes with Howard. This can explain why no parent seems to be taken action, same with Spencer.
 * This is the first time Miss Briggs appeared since iSpy a Mean Teacher.
 * The gigantic pants that appeared in iThink They Kissed are seen again in this episode, used as an entrance in the iCarly episode for Principal Franklin. The events of the episode are also referenced.
 * Mr Howard and Mrs Briggs are both principals but there is only one chair behind the principals' office.
 * In iChristmas, you learn that Sam writes with her right hand but punches better with her left, well when she punches Freddie's bag she used her right hand.
 * Incontinuity.
 * 1) While Freddie and Sam are talking to Superintendent Gorman after learning that Principal Franklin has been fired a black girl in a blue top can be seen coming down the stairs in the background twice.
 * 2) Before Sam punches Freddie, her bag is on her left shoulder, in the next take, when she punches Freddie her bag is over her right shoulder and almost flies off with the punch.
 * 3) When Superintendent Gorman is talking to Principal Franklin about getting his job back, one time it shows Carly, Sam, and Freddie all holding hands and looking excited but a moment after it shows them all standing apart looking confused again.
