Principal Ted Franklin

Ted "Teddy" Franklin is the principal at Ridgeway High School. He never hesitates to discipline troublemaking students (particularly Sam), but does so in a fair and kind-hearted way rather than the "usual" strict way of most principals in the media. He goes out of his way to be fair and on occasion sides with students over teachers who pick on students or make false accusations. He is fond of Carly and Freddie, and is used to seeing Sam in his office to give her detention on a regular basis. Ted and his kids are iCarly fans themselves. Ted seems to dislike Ms. Briggs and Mr. Howard's rude behavior to his students, and it appears that the feeling is mutual.

He has at least two children (in iGot Detention, he said "My kids and I love iCarly"), but only his daughter Emily has been mentioned by name. His wife's name is unknown.

He is played by Tim Russ, best known for playing Lieutenant Tuvok on Star Trek:Voyager.
