So now that iCarly has come to an end, and YTV has started from iPilot again, I will be reviewing the ENTIRE series for all of you to enjoy.
iPilot - Episode #1
Original Airdate: Sept. 8, 2007 - 1st episode filmed (101)
Synopsis: Carly gets detention when Sam draws Miss. Briggs face on an animal. She takes the fall! So she and Sam have to watch all the talent show auditions on a Saturday and then give Miss. Briggs the CD. Freddie helps by video taping. During the taping Freddie tapes Sam and Carly making fun of Miss. Briggs pointy boobs and ends up putting it on Splash face (accidentally). The girls try to cover it up but Briggs sees it and tells them she is not putting any of their picks in the talent show. So Carly comes up with the idea of starting her own webshow with Sam after 27,000 people watched the original video and liked it. Freddie calls it iCarly and asks to help with the geek stuff and thus is born "iCarly". Their first webisode focusses on the talent show kids they liked. They get 37,000 viewers.
Spencer side count: Spencer makes the bottle bot and the squirrel video camera sculptures. He also falls from the ceiling in his first stunt. Nothing is set on fire.
Penny Tee count: NONE
Fun Facts: In an episode of the Brady Bunch, Marcia gets in trouble for a portrait of Mrs. Denton written above her drawing of George Washington, which looks like a hippo. Later it is discovered that her friend Paula did it as a joke, Marcia does get in big trouble for it too. This echoes Carly's issue in this episode.
Spencer's age is pinned at 26 in this episode, making him 13 years older than Carly.
Carly says she is in grade 8.
Jennette McCurdy got sick after eating too much ham in the takes for this show. She had refused the spit bucket.
In iGoodbye the cast wears the same hats from the crazy hat party, all except Sam. Freddie can be seen wearing his too small coon hat and Carly wears her blue cowboy hat again. No one knows why Sam's original hat is missing but she wears a cheeseburger hat in the final episode.
Also in iGoodbye Miss Briggs returns with her pointy boobs, made extra pointy for effect.
In iApril Fools the school scene where Miss. Briggs tells the girls she isn't going to use the list they gave her is replayed with the girls wearing identical outfits to the ones they wear in iPilot. Of course the iApril Fools version is twisted to have Spencer show up as the alternate Miss Briggs and sparky the dog shows up. Also Freddie does not come up with the name of the show until later in the episode.
Review:
I enjoy this episode because it's super cute! To see them all so small, is adorable. Although Freddie is super spazzy and calms down slowly throughout season 1, he is still cute! Also Freddie and Sam are super hating each other in this episode. Although that continues throughout the series it does mellow out somewhat.
Spencer doesn't have much of a role in this episode other than to be Carly's brother.
We are introduced to the beat boxing kid, and one of my favourites "I tell you I do not know!!".
I don't enjoy the kids talents. I've always hated the end credits where I have to watch some random kids show their "talents" and so I mostly speed through the last part of the episode when they show the people who squeeze milk out their eyes, say words backwards and jump on pogo sticks. I'm not one for that.
Total Score: 3/5
