@Passionate Seddier45 - IMHO, iCarly was at its best when it was (an exaggerated version of) realistic: iPromise Not to Tell, iKiss, iReunite with Missy, iSpeed Date, iStart a Fan War, the Seddie arc, iMeet the First Lady, iPear Store, iRescue Carly,... Believe it or not, these stories ring true to me as an adult. (OK, as an SF fan who saw stupid things at cons, maybe iStart a Fan War was *too* realistic.) These stories had some real insights into life and people.

I wrote my first FF in 25 years because you all fascinate me so much. In fact, I am almost one with my second one because of you. I can really see the appeal to adults: these characters can be very interesting when handled properly. You should be chuffed.

One last thing: my favourite series of the past 15 years is Reba, which dealt with a bunch of touchy and difficult subjects in its run. The Nanny also did in its last couple of seasons. The ability to be entertaining, be funny, have a serious point, and not be too preachy all at once is a tough one. At its best, iCarly was all of these.
