Somehow, I'm not buying the "get outside and play" excuse, because nickelodeon's summer initiative is usually the worldwide day of play. They've also been known to have days where they won't broadcast anything all day in hopes of encouraging kids to go play outside. Also, the school year usually starts mid to late august (in this case, tomorrow August 27th 2012), kids and teenagers will already be back in school when new episodes come out. Premiering new episodes in the middle of a school semester when kids, jr high, and high school students alike will be bombarded with homework, seems, I don't know, counterintuitive. Just a hunch, but the summer thing doesnt seem like the real reason for this lack of new iCarly episodes.

Another thing is that when it comes to shows on a kids network like Nickelodeon, alot of kids aren't exactly faithful. Tv shows to kids are like toys, they just lose interest after awhile. That's why most shows on Nick, like the recently cancelled Victorious, don't last more than 3 maybe 4 seasons, and why it's crucial for Nickelodeon to be promoting iCarly like crazy right now. Most people who don't actively seek out information on iCarly, don't even know there are new episodes that haven't even aired yet. I think the fans who are most loyal to the show(for the most part), are the ones who started watching iCarly when they were 12 or 13 years old and up, anyone younger will more than likely lose interest at some point, but that's just my opinion.

So, I seriously believe it's just a bunch of idiots sitting around a table going "Hey, I got this great idea, why don't we stop airing new episodes for 2 1/2 - 3 months, get tons of input and inquiries from the fans, give them zero feedback, give iCarly practically nonexistent promotion, while at the same time relentlessly promoting horrid shows like how to rock and fred, and then clump all the new episodes of iCarly into 2 months, what do you think?", and then some other cross-eyed little nitwit in the room says "that's brilliant, let's do it".

What Nickelodeon has been doing these last few months is borderline retarded behavior if you ask me.
