Honestly, you can sit around hoping for the "old" iCarly back all you want, but when it comes down to it, it's gone. The characters grew up, so its only natural that the episodes would start to focus more on the different aspects of their life. Friendship (conflicts included), romance, and so forth. It's a comedy sow, yes. But character development is necessary.

Just go re-watch the old episodes and enjoy them if that's the iCarly you love. Shows change all the time. You have to move on with them and just accept it. Because complaining and being sad won't take you back to the way things used to be, no matter how much you want it to.
