iPromise Not to Tell Review

iPromise Not to Tell Episode #11 on YTV
Originally Aired:  January 12, 2008 (12th), Filmed 18th (118)

Synopsis:  Carly works really hard on a history paper and expects to get an A but then her teacher gives her a B because she printed it on 3 hole punched paper.  Sam finds out the passwords and changes Carly's, Freddie's and her grades.  She makes them promise not to tell.  Freddie and Carly hack into the school network to change their grades back but get caught.  Still Sam doesn't let them off the hook.  Carly starts to lose it mentally and cracks to Spencer.  She then goes to tell the truth but Freddie already confessed.  She confesses and then Sam confesses.  Sam receives detention but at the end changes her detention in the school computer.

Fun Facts:  
Only mention of Mr. Devlen the hard teacher.
Apparently he was a lunch room monitor when Spencer went to school
Sam has regular Tuesday appointments with Principal Franklin.
The actor who plays Principal Franklin also played the vulcan on Star Trek Voyager.  He is a reoccuring character but this is the first time we see him.
His first name is Ted.
Miss Briggs is mentioned by not seen.
Gibby is mentioned as being hit with a piece of pizza by Sam.
Principal Franklins username and password are:  Big Teddy and corncake21.
The hand jive that Jennette McCurdy made up to pass time while filming was added into this episode as a way of ankle swearing.
Bacon flavoured gum is mentioned, in the first time that Sam shows her love for bacon.
Carly pins Freddie to the floor in the same fashion that he pins her to the floor in iThink they Kissed in season 3.
ONLY time we see the computer lab in Ridgeway and see the computer teacher Mr. Wimbly.
When Carly faints in class she should have been sent to the medical room because teachers don't ignore large issues like fainting (as I am a teacher).
Since it was Principal Franklins birthday on the day this was shown then his birthday is January 12.
Principal Franklin admits that Carly and Freddie have been to Ridgeway for 3 years.  They are currently in grade 8, so they started in grade 6.  They also go there til the end of the series when they are at least in grade 12...so that is one large high school/middle school.
The microwave given to Principal Franklin is seen again when it lights on fire in iGot Detention.
Wahoo Punch is mentioned for the first time.
The part where Carly pulls out her hair in school is on the blooper reel.
Earlier episodes claim that Sam never lies, but in this one she admits that soon you will lie and feel nothing at all.

Spencer Side Count:  Makes the lamp light up with the Japanese word for ON.  Builds giant A sculpture over and over.

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:  One of my fave episodes of season 1!  This one has a great storyline with Spencer being a good big brother and giving good advice.  I love Principal Franklin and his relationship with Sam.  This has a lot of Freddie and Carly working together and very little of the web show.  Carly's freak outs are always awesome.

Total Score: 5/5
