I agree with Jon23812 and Liz'sLemon.

I think it was a combination of things that hav contributed to iCarly's ratings decline. Promotion, Nielsen, episode quality, the scheduling irregularities, just general TV show life spans.

For a live action children's comedy, iCarly is definetely one of the longer lasting ones in recent memory. Most of the live action shows that were on when iCarly started, both on Nickelodeon and Disney, have now gone off the air. I think, especially when dealing with the target audience that iCarly does, that you sometimes run into growing pains with shows. Sometimes the core audience grows up with the show, but sometimes you loose kids along the way and I think that's part of what happened with iCarly. I think the irregularity of episodes also did a lot of damage.Unless you follow the online iCarly fandom, following the show's airing schedule is probably next to impossible.

I think season four really threw things off. A lot of people felt there was a dip in quality with the first half of season four, then Nickelodeon had a four month or so hiatus and I think some of the viewers just didn't come back.

It's a lot of things really.
