Still, they are half of what they used to be.

Of course, there are probably a LOT of reasons for that (people outgrowing the show, suckish promotion, some people not liking the way the show is going ... probably a few more).

Eventually, time is killing EVERYTHING, and iCarly's length is pushing the borders. I'd watch a sixth season (if they do one), but that should REALLY be it then. I basically always expected the show to be on its countdown towards the end right now, so less than 10 episodes left, but if there are 10-15 more, okay, whatever.

The sad thing is that the ratings are going down when the show is getting better again.
