User blog comment:Lotstar/Is iCarly Being Dragged On For Too Long?/@comment-5299784-20120716231355

Yes, the show has dragged on to long. Most of the current season is among the worst episodes in the shows history (especially the April Fools episode which was unwatchable). I think one of the biggest problems is that the show got away from what made it great, the interactions between Sam, Freddy, and Carly with comic relief from Spencer and tried to spotlight the secondary characters, like Gibby, to much. I liked Gibby when he was a bit player, but now he has to much of a role in the show. Most of his bits fall flat or are tedious. Can the show be salvaged? Not really, most teens shows only last 4 to 5 years at most then the novelty wears off (see Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place or The Secret World of Alex Mack). It's just ICarly's time to go before it gets any worse.
