I find it so conflicting how much nostalgia these series give me and how much joy I had as a kid watching it, and at the same time how much anger and sadness it brings knowing what Jennette was going through :(
Very happy jennette wrote her book. From her point of view and rewatching just these 11 minutes changes everything. From the feet on the screen 10 seconds in the intro of the show to how skinny Sam had to be. Everything about this show is sad and I wish it was erased from the universe but sadly that’s not possible. I just hope Jennette heals
@@dragonflarefrog1424 it’s like you haven’t educated yourself on anything related to the topic. her mother forced her into acting. it was all on her MOTHER’S behalf. she didn’t have a choice.
2007 was a great time. I remember watching this at 11 and I knew iCarly was going to be a hit. Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress who were unknown to us at that time, had great chemistry with Miranda and Jerry the moment all of them were on screen. Even though, the revival is out it’ll never beat the original. That’s why this one will forever be better.
I'm reading Jeanette's book, "I'm glad my mom died." And I've finally got to this part where she booked iCarly. I was surprised to read that she was already 14 years old when she got the role of Sam. 14!! I always thought she was 11 or 12. The book is shocking and confusing..
I remember when I first saw this episode. It was so weird seeing Miranda and Jerry at first playing Carly and Spencer since I was so used to seeing them as Megan and Crazy Steve. But the long run of this show has made me more used to them as Carly and Spencer than Megan and Crazy Steve. I’m glad Jerry got to be a main cast member on a show because him playing as Spencer shows how great of comedic potential he had for a main character.
Btw for those haven’t read the book, Sam (Janette McCurdy) is 14 by this point in real life but stunted her growth by an eating disorder imposed on her by her mother. She was also petrified of the idea of becoming a woman and her mother encouraged that fear. That’s why she looks 11.
I know that some people are naturally skinny but to know that Jennette was that skinny due to an eating disorder caused by her mom is awful and heartbreaking
Wow all these years later the show is still hilarious it's amazing the level of chemistry the cast had in the 1st episode because most shows I don't feel the chemistry until the 3rd or 4th episode.
If Sam never made that picture and Carly took the blame for it, it wouldn’t have led to their creation of iCarly; the best thing that ever happened in their lives
So do I,I’m glad he went through puberty even Gibby (Noah Munck) & his brother Guppy (Ethan Munck) !! Just like Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) from Drake & Josh,Honestly I liked him in Seasons 3 & 4 only cause Josh was so Chubby (Husky) in Seasons 1 & 2 even from that movie 🎥: Max Keeble's Big Move !! Glad to see he is on the New iCarly (2021-Present).Great to see Drake & Josh Reunion !! P.S.: I liked Samantha’s twin sister Melanie (Jennette McCurdy) better than Samantha cause Sam is always a troublemaker & her sister is Well-behaved & Pretty/Hot Looking instead !!
I loved this show as a kid.... But I'm kinda terrified going into watching this. I'm right at the part in Jennette's book where they're filming this. Edit: Look at those blonde highlights 😭 Look at her teeny tiny arms 😭
My favorite part: "What you think?" "I Don'T kNOw." "yOu dOn't KNow?" "I tELl yoU I dO NoT kNOW!" "bUt YoU mUSt knOW!" "hOw caN I KNow wheN i dO noT KnOw?" "I Don'T kNOW." 7:36
And they even reference it on the show. In the Prank episode, she is shown watching Drake and Josh, and says "how come that little girl is so great at pranks?"
i always thought sam and freddie got more unrecognizable every season while carly stayed the same and only thing that changed was her hair got darker and she stopped wearing clips in her hair, and they all changed clothing style after season 1
When I decided to revisit this episode years later, I remembered Sam picking on that boy differently. I thought that kid was Gibby. It’s a shame Gibby wasn’t on the show yet since there was nothing from the pilot for him to look back on during “iGoodbye”while Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer did.
Carly was funny when she yells “that’s 27000!” It kinda reminded me when Walter freaked out when he found out that his family owed the sky diving instructor $400, 000 for the plane that was destroyed by the screwups during Drake and Josh’s skydiving lessons lol 😂
I like how Sam and Freddie is roasting each other and when he said he was going home and Carly asked him to stay, made me laugh and I began shipping them! 😂❤️
I like the original series. They show reruns on Teen Nick. It isn't shown on the main channel anymore. In the last few years, some reruns are on the other two Nickelodeon channel.
I don’t really have fond memories of iCarly but I definitely remember watching a few Nickelodeon sitcoms like Henry Danger when I was a kid so I might have
10:59 Carly: 😠 THAT’S 27,000!!!!!!!!! Me: 😬 Geez, no need to shout so loudly and besides the people in the apartment are trying to sleep and so was your brother, Spencer.
I loved this show growing up but now I can’t laugh and smile anymore about it because of what Jeanette had to go through. After I read the book I was in shock about how much she suffered but I was glad she had a friend like Miranda by her side and as far as I know they are still friends
Nickelodeon decided to air an all-day _Drake & Josh_ marathon (including an extended version of its series finale "Really Big Shrimp") leading into the series premiere of _iCarly_ that same night - given Miranda Cosgrove was in both shows.
I remember watching when I was 4-5 years old, but I could barely remember most of it, I’m 16 now. Live life to the fullest time goes by quick enjoy life. ❤️
The redhead comedian after trumpet girl reminds me so much of that kid from the Goonies. They look and sound almost identical especially the laugh. The only difference is hair color really I wonder if they are father and son?
0:20 - Carly’s First Line: Yes, I did. 2:35 - Sam’s First Line: Say you’re sorry. 3:50 - Freddie’s First Line: You dropped this! 4:22 - Spencer’s First Line: Hey, kiddo! Up here! Just taking some pics of my robot sculpture. Smile! Yeah.
I find it so conflicting how much nostalgia these series give me and how much joy I had as a kid watching it, and at the same time how much anger and sadness it brings knowing what Jennette was going through :(
It’s crazy to think Jeanette’s mom was still getting her dressed and undressed and showering her at this age and even older
When I watch Sam cry in that Fudge Ball/Chili episode, it made me realize that Jennette wasn't acting at all.
@dannythomas417 it's also kinda ironic how Freddie's mom in the show was overbearing and controlling, how Jennettes mom was in real life
Who's here after reading the book? I can never look at this show the same ever again...
Feel the exact same way! 😢
yep😭😭
I am because I've never heard of or seen the show. So I was curious. So sad to think what she was going through while making this.
Me too
Are you suggesting Jennette wasn’t acting when playing Sam? She had bottled up anger? I haven’t read the book
seeing this after reading jennette her book is heartbreaking…
I came back to watch this for that reason…
I just know you're Dutch lol
Znd
Tell me about it! I’m reading it right now. 🥹
❤❤

Makes me wonder how many child stars had an eating disorder. Nothing can convince me that Miranda Cosgrove and Victoria Justice didn't have EDs.
@@RedShoes29
But her ED is from her mom influencing her diet. She ignored when everyone said Jen has anorexia. Doesn't have to do with Nickelodeon.
What? Why should the show be erased? It’s not Nickelodeon’s fault she auditioned for the role, she should’ve gone done something else.
@@dragonflarefrog1424 it’s like you haven’t educated yourself on anything related to the topic. her mother forced her into acting. it was all on her MOTHER’S behalf. she didn’t have a choice.
@@p.enelope How’s that the shows fault?

@Maryama Sulieman what? And no I’m not 26 yet.
I miss those days, sometimes I wish I could live in a loop between 1990-2010
I wish I was alive at the time it seems like a great time
I was 3 at that timw
Or 4.

I was a full grown woman at 12 😂
A real classic Nickelodeon show.
Agree
Yup
Yup , i really want the old Icarly show back 😭
Yes. This and Danny phantom. Best sitcom and cartoon on Nickelodeon, respectively.
@@nathangagan4965 yessirrr
10:57
"Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"THAT'S 27,000!!!"
Gets me every time!
Especially Sam falling over.
😂😂
Freddy and sam look so young but carly look never changed lol
i agree i thought freddie and sam got more unrecognizable every season
Yeah
I’m just now noticing some parallels between Sam and Jeannette’s lives. Both hated their moms haha.
I like how Miranda yelled Jennette “THAT’S 27,000” at the end
And the way Jennette fell out of the chair at 11:01
"THAT'S 27,000!!!", Carly whispered calmly in Sam's ear
Crazy watching this after reading her book

Watching this while reading her book is heartbreaking:(
I think we all remember Freddie’s young voice
15 years later and he’s *still* a know-it-all.
I always thought (And still think) His Eyes look like Chinese
I know, I remember.
So do I,I’m glad he went through puberty even Gibby (Noah Munck) & his brother Guppy (Ethan Munck) !! Just like Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) from Drake & Josh,Honestly I liked him in Seasons 3 & 4 only cause Josh was so Chubby (Husky) in Seasons 1 & 2 even from that movie 🎥: Max Keeble's Big Move !!

100 👍
Can we just appreciate that came out in 2007 and it’s about to be almost 15 years old
I loved this show as a kid.... But I'm kinda terrified going into watching this. I'm right at the part in Jennette's book where they're filming this.
Edit: Look at those blonde highlights 😭
Look at her teeny tiny arms 😭
How are you terrified of something you already watched? 🙄
what's in the book so terrified, that you can;t watch it?
@@warrax111you would know after reading it
@@warrax111Jeannette was being abused by her mom during the filming of this
@@kearaf9774 ty, I'll try to find more information about this.
10:59 THATS TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND!!!!! Sam: *falls*
Lol
Me sitting there falling to
The beginning of one of the best series ever. I loved the original iCarly and still do.
Miranda, Jennette and Nathan were so small back then. Nostalgia!
My favorite part:
"What you think?"
"I Don'T kNOw."
"yOu dOn't KNow?"
"I tELl yoU I dO NoT kNOW!"
"bUt YoU mUSt knOW!"
"hOw caN I KNow wheN i dO noT KnOw?"
"I Don'T kNOW." 7:36
3:33 - 3:41 "Because I'm a lovable person" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Classic Sam
Thats why she got her own show with Ariana grande in 2013 called Sam and Cat but it only lasted one season
Carly and Sam’s French accents are adorable
I didn't know that !
My Childhood in a Nutshell.
11:00 - LOL 😂 especially when Sam fell at the end 😅 I don’t blame her for that
That theme song is still fire!
It's crazy how she's the complete polar opposite from her drake and josh character 😂😂
And they even reference it on the show. In the Prank episode, she is shown watching Drake and Josh, and says "how come that little girl is so great at pranks?"
What are the odds that I was watching crazy Steve and Spencer shay funny moments and I get to this video posted literally 15 minutes ago
6:40 That was savage but Freddie got the last laugh in the end 🤣💀
i always thought sam and freddie got more unrecognizable every season while carly stayed the same and only thing that changed was her hair got darker and she stopped wearing clips in her hair, and they all changed clothing style after season 1

The show is very amazing and I really love it! 😃💖
Me too
Same here.
10:57. Sam? Yeah? THAT’S 27,000!!!
Lol
I made into a squirrel. 😂😂😂😂😂
5:35
Freddie was so adorable!!!😊
Carly was funny when she yells “that’s 27000!” It kinda reminded me when Walter freaked out when he found out that his family owed the sky diving instructor $400, 000 for the plane that was destroyed by the screwups during Drake and Josh’s skydiving lessons lol 😂
3:34 I can't with this😂 typical of Sam
yeah, until they get high dose of reality, in real life. that it doesn't work in real life, like that.
Feels like it was just yesterday I saw iCarly’s season premiere.
I remember it in the beginning of the episode when Principal Franklin was laughing.
Carly: Sam?
Sam: Yeah?
Carly: (screaming) *_THAT’S 27,000!!!!!!!_*
Lol
It’s so strange watching this show after reading Jeanette’s book. It must’ve been awful to go through all of this
9:12 Tyler the Creator when was young:
Taryn's talent was amazing. And the fact that the first webcast was viewed by 37,000 people was amazing. 7:56 - 8:25.
I like how Sam and Freddie is roasting each other and when he said he was going home and Carly asked him to stay, made me laugh and I began shipping them! 😂❤️
I miss iCarly very much it used to make me feel very comfortable but they took down the show and now I'm so sad😭😭😭
They also took down the revival too
It deserves a season 4 😔
that’s why pirating/torrenting exists.
I love rewatching episodes of my favorite shows~
never knew Crazy Steve was Megan’s brother
I never saw this show but watching it after reading Jeanette's book. Child stars really had and have it rough
Can’t believe how little they are!! Haven’t seen this show in so long.
9:29 my favorite part of the episode
I like the original series. They show reruns on Teen Nick. It isn't shown on the main channel anymore. In the last few years, some reruns are on the other two Nickelodeon channel.
People can't deny about their favorite childhood series which is the one we're watching. 😊
Carly: Sam?
Sam: Yeah?
Carly: *THAT'S TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND!!!!!!!*
The love story between Carly and Freddie All started in the very first episode of iCarly and the rest is history
I love iCarly so much
I too
Me too.
Me 3 !!
SAME 🥹🤧
Who's here in honor of the 15th anniversary of the iCarly show, paying some nice tribute?
nah mostly here cuz of her book
YES SAM BRING HER BACK
They got the intro in here too omg😀👍
I don’t really have fond memories of iCarly but I definitely remember watching a few Nickelodeon sitcoms like Henry Danger when I was a kid so I might have
10:59 THAT'S TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND!!!!!!!
I was 6 when icarly premiered and I was instantly hooked but I unfortunately don’t have Paramount Plus for the revival
"THAT'S 27,000!!!", Carly whispered calmly in Sam's ear
Spencer The Firelord
Maranda was so beautiful I never realized I see why fred had a crush on her 😩
I thought Sam did not like when people said she was sweet
10:59 Carly: 😠 THAT’S 27,000!!!!!!!!!
Me: 😬 Geez, no need to shout so loudly and besides the people in the apartment are trying to sleep and so was your brother, Spencer.
GREAT SHOW MAKES ME HAPPY MIRANDA VERY FUN
I loved this show growing up but now I can’t laugh and smile anymore about it because of what Jeanette had to go through. After I read the book I was in shock about how much she suffered but I was glad she had a friend like Miranda by her side and as far as I know they are still friends
That’s why the Pirate Bay and VPN exists to save money
Man I remember watching this show on ytv as a kid.
Jennette must’ve had a lil fun on iCarly
I find it impossible to not have fun on this show
Don't worry Freddie, you and Carly will be end game 😉
3:34 Because I'm a lovable person!
11:00 THAT’S 27,000!!!!!
3:46 You dropped this
Jeanette was the thickest person in nick history
S1 Ep. 1 iPilot..
Leave it all to me..
Nickelodeon decided to air an all-day _Drake & Josh_ marathon (including an extended version of its series finale "Really Big Shrimp") leading into the series premiere of _iCarly_ that same night - given Miranda Cosgrove was in both shows.
She missed cuddle fish, ill bet shes devistated....
With carly mentioning 27,000 views, that wouldn't be much these days, but, we're talking about mid to late 2007.
I don't care what was going on behind the scenes,i loved Sam Puckett unconditionally ❤
Jennette would certainly appreciate that! 🙄 Grow up sometime.
You know Jennette McCurdy is a real person and not just your favorite fictional iCarly character, right?
4:10 Truer words have never been spoken
0:53 shades of Megan shinning through 😂
I Love iCarly so much
6:38
Sam: (clears her throat and walks to Freddie) Carly will never love you.
Well that aged poorly 😂
This line didn't age well.
I remember watching when I was 4-5 years old, but I could barely remember most of it, I’m 16 now.
Live life to the fullest time goes by quick enjoy life. ❤️
Lol ,I also brought you juice and a bagel
My first thoughts watching this show was: When Megan get her own show?
ICarly IPilot,-30 Rock Fuller House,-High School Musical,-The Chase,-Family Double Dare,-pride parade Lionsgate Klasky Csupo,-opening people ocean
6:52 Carly flexing those feminine wiles on Freddie.
oh the nostalgia.
Wait, dexter (from dexters lab) was french?
The redhead comedian after trumpet girl reminds me so much of that kid from the Goonies. They look and sound almost identical especially the laugh. The only difference is hair color really I wonder if they are father and son?
0:20 - Carly’s First Line: Yes, I did.
2:35 - Sam’s First Line: Say you’re sorry.
3:50 - Freddie’s First Line: You dropped this!
4:22 - Spencer’s First Line: Hey, kiddo! Up here! Just taking some pics of my robot sculpture. Smile! Yeah.
I choose to remember the feeling this show gave me as a 15 year old boy.
