iCarly Saves TV Review


iCarly Saves TV #18 on YTV
Originally Aired:  June 13, 2008 (23rd), Filmed 19th (119)

Synopsis:  The iCarlys are asked to move their show to the TVS network.  Where a dumb adult proceeds to change the show so much that it isn't iCarly anymore!  In the end he gives them back their right to the iCarly title because he decides the show shouldn't be called iCarly anymore.

Fun Facts:  
This episode is always shown on Canadian TV right after the Daka one, so all it looks like is iCarly being bought by adults for two whole shows in a row!
Again dumb adults show up, this time the TVS guy is an idiot!  I forgot to mention in my list of dumb adults the cops from the iStakeout episode.
The girl who plays Amber Tate was one of 5 kids who ended up winning a talent show called American Juniors to form a kid rock band several years ago (2003), her name is Rachel Fox but she is not listed on the American Juniors imdb site.  She was on the show with her older sister.  Lucy Hale was also one of these kids and is now on Pretty Little Liars, yet she IS listed.  Rachel does list that she sings in two rock bands.
Apparently if you run a tv network you can barge into classrooms and take kids away.
Mrs. Benson appears again.
Leon Thomas of Victorious appears as Harper the leader of the iCarly band.
The part where Spencer eats the cucumber cup and then chucks it out is shown in the blooper reel.
We see Mrs. Benson's GIANT first aid case and then we see it again in iFence.

Spencer Side Count:  Spends a lot of time eating fancy fruits and sodas.

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:  This episode makes me want to run away!!!  Once again their is a completely STUPID adult with a high paying job that knows nothing.  Freddie is not in this episode enough!  He gets dump jobs to do.  Amber Tate is annoying and all the things the dumb guy wants are also annoying and stupid.  Although I love Leon's voice I find it annoying that the last part of the show is just him singing.  The only things I like about this episode is the side story of Mrs. Benson taking care of Spencer because she is sad that Freddie is away all the time AND when Sam beats up Zeebo.  This episode can be summed up in one word "Zeebo".

Total Score: 2/5 - not as bad as I Dream of Dance...but almost.
