I think that iCarly has jumped the shark. If you don't know what "jumped the shark" means, it's when a show hits this point where the best has happened and the show starts to go downhill. I know, it's sad. But it's true.

I still love iCarly. It will always have a place in my heart. But it's just not the same as it used to be. Season 1 - 3 were generally great episodes. Season 4 (eps 71 - 83) were also pretty nice, but not as good as Season 3. Then Season 5 rolled around (episodes 84 - 94) with the Seddie arc. I enjoyed the Seddie arc, but after that the writing seemed weaker. Other than iStill Physco, #405 - 411 were just weak. And Season 5 started the Guest Star Era.


 * Defenition of Guest Star Era - A group of iCarly episodes that seemed to really on guest stars to keep viewers.

Then when Season 6 premiered, i tried not to judge it based on iApril Fools because I knew it wasn't meant to be taken seriously, (and BTW it was still pretty bad). iGOD and iOAR weren't anything special, though iHalfoween and iPear Store were pretty good. iBattle Chip had funny moments, but wasn't that funny in general.

The cast is older and can't really act like kids anymore. Gibby seems to be a filler now. Spencer barely makes artwork anymore. Many sitcom plots have already been used. The writing is getting weaker. Dan is caring more about Victorious. In total, I feel like iCarly has probably jumped the shark. So if you think they have, tell me when you think they did?

I will watch iCarly until the end, but I'm sad that it's ending not as well as it used to be. :(
