iCarly

Carly Shay led a pretty normal life until she and her friends started their own web show. When, iCarly, becomes an instant hit, Carly and her pals have to balance their newfound success with the problems of everyday life. With her parents overseas, Carly relies on the help of her best friend and co-star, Sam, her longtime pal and technical producer, Freddie, and her eccentric older brother and guardian, Spencer, to keep it all together. Sam and Freddies constant bickering and Spencers odd habits make for a lot of good material. But is it enough to fill a new show every week?

ICarly Christmas

iCarlys, iChristmas, is a take off of the Christmas classic, Its a Wonderful Life, in which Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) angrily wishes she had a, normal, brother after Spencers (Jerry Trainor) magnetic tree sculpture catches fire incinerating the presents beneath it. Mitch the angel appears to show her what her life would be like with a buttoned-up brother.
