iSpeed Date Review

Originally Aired: September 26, 2009 (3rd), Filmed  30th (230)
Due to a writer's strike Season 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and all have production codes in the 200s.

Synopsis:  
Carly has to ask a guy to the dance but keeps failing.  SO Sam announces on iCarly that if anyone wants to go to the dance with Carly to come to the Groovy Smoothie, but too many guys show up!  The gang decides that Speed Dating will work with them all taking a portion of guys.  Finally a date is found for Carly and she goes to the dance BUT has a horrible time because the guy never lets her finish a sentence.  At the same time Freddie has to go with Magic Malika and he has a bad time.  In the end they both share a dance at the Groovy Smoothie.
Meanwhile Sam is forced to ask Gibby who doesn't want to go because he already has a hot girlfriend!

Fun Facts:  
Sam calls herself "Mama".
Jamie and Ariana who ask Freddie out are real life names of Jamie Lynn Spears from Zoey 101 and Ariana Grande from Victorious, both Dan Schneider shows.
Gibby appears!
This is the episode where Miranda learned her lines while filming, it is in the blooper reel.
The voice on Spencer's app is Dan Schneider.
Pathetic Plays - the first time we see "The Englishman was a terrible father to his two children named Fluffley and Peeta".
Nathan decided to say Meeonday like he did on his own.
Fat cakes are mentioned again, this time to be thrown at joggers.
Originally the girls were not supposed to join Spencer in the windmills but Dan changed it later.
752 guys show up to ask Carly to the dance.
Sam calls Freddie - Fredlumps
Chord Overstreet from Glee appears as one of the boys who wants to ask Carly out.
The part where Sam is interviewing a guy appears in the blooper reel
T-Bo has bell peppers on a stick.
We meet Tasha, Gibby's hot girlfriend, who appears again in iEnrage Gibby.
The leave in conditioner joke is one that Dan talks about in his blog.
On Freddie's cell phone you will see a pic of his mom.  Later we see this on his large phone  in iGoodbye.
Celebrities Underwater is mentioned, it is Spencer's favourite show.
The song at the end that Freddie and Carly dance to was most likely created by the song writer for the show, who also created the songs you hear on other episodes.  The song ends with the lyrics "Cause you were meant for me" which is exactly the theme of Freddie and Carly's relationships.
In the end credits we see Ethan Munck for the first time - Noah Munck's real life little brother.  He appears in iPsycho in season 3, iStart a Fan War in season 4 and iBust a Thief in season 6.

Spencer Side Count:  Makes his spinning sculpture.  Exercises to his 10 second app.

Penny Tee Count: Special Ham - worn by Freddie

Review: I love this episode due to the HIGH level of Creddie.  I love the Englishman who was a terrible father!  "They are colourful and pointy you ungrateful nuggets!".  I love when Spencer knocks Freddie out with his windmills.  Spencer's cute attempt to talk to Carly about "sex" is so funny!  When Carly and Freddie dance - AWESOME.

Total Score: 5/5 - one of my faves!  CREDDIE!

iCarly Awards Review

iCarly Awards #4 of Season 3 to air on YTV
Originally Aired: October 3, 2009 (4th), Filmed  23rd (223)
Due to a writer's strike Season 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and all have production codes in the 200s.

Synopsis:  
iCarly hosts their first iCarly Awards and gives out little awards to people who sent them videos of amazing things.  Meanwhile Spencer screws up by making 1 10ft tall iCarly award when he was supposed to make 10 1 ft tall iCarly awards.  So he has European swimsuit models to help him.

Fun Facts:  
Gibby shows up to help host the awards.
This episode was actually made in season two.
When Freddie comes down the stairs to talk to Spencer in his tux, this part appears in the blooper reel and Jerry tells Nathan he looks good in a tux.
The fact that I am NOT fast forwarding this episode should give me an award!!!
Why are their dresses kind of ugly???  Sam's is nice but Carly's...ew.
The bottle blowing song is a complete mess.  What was that?
"Shoosh yeah" is said again!
The fact that I had to watch the eyeball milk guy again...EW.
Gibby's pants constantly fall down.
Ew the tongue boy.
Random Dancing happens.
The dance they all do with Gibby at the end is in the blooper reel.

Spencer Side Count:  Builds 1 10ft tall iCarly award and then 10 1 ft iCarly awards with male swimsuit models.

Penny Tee Count: Batter Splatter - worn by Spencer

Review: I HATE this episode.  There is no episode I hate more.  I am totally annoyed by the videos and the winners.  I hate those freak talents and find them annoying.  I'm not a fan of the videos during webcasts at any time, so since this episode is FILLED with them....well I hate it!!!

Total Score: 1/5 - only cause Nathan is in a tux.

iHave My Principals Review

iHave My Principals #3 of Season 3 to air on YTV
Originally Aired: October 17, 2009 (5th), Filmed  28th (228)
Due to a writer's strike Season 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and all have production codes in the 200s.

Synopsis:  
When Principal Franklin appears on iCarly for his daughter's birthday he is fired as principal.  Mr. Howard and Miss Briggs become the new principals and enforce a lot of crazy strict rules.  The iCarly's come up with a plan to get Principal Franklin back!
Spencer trains himself to ride a Bull machine that he finds at the junkyard, it's later used to mess with the Superintendent to get Principal Franklin his job back.

Fun Facts:  
Mr. Howard and Miss Briggs are back!
Sam mentions that her Uncle Carmine can make people disappear, and Uncle Carmine is the one they visit in jail in iLove You in Season 5.
Principal Franklin is back!
Gibby appears in this one with his hair done up all special.
Freddie randomly says Pantalones (pants) while leaving the room.
The large pants from episode 1 (iThink they Kissed) is back!  And it is mentioned that prisoners used it to escape as well.
Spencer fixes the bull pretty fast between talking to Freddie and iCarly beginning.
Fudge Balls make another appearance, they are sat on.  Last time we saw them was when Spencer sold them to impress a hot mom.
Spencer yells out "La Bamba" and "Hey Jude" while riding the bull.  The first is an 80s movie about Richie Valens and the 2nd is a Beatles song.
This is the only episode where the kids have to wear a dress code to school.
Gibby gets detention for being "too Gibby".
Sean appears at the Groovy Smoothie he was in iMeet Fred and a few other episodes.
T-bo is selling donuts on a stick but they are put on the wrong way.
A girl in the hallway chaos scene is fake licking a giant ice cream cone.
Mr. Howard admits to having a wife but in a previous episode he is said to make out with Miss Briggs during detention in the teacher's lounge.
Freddie yells out "ariba", one his random Spanish words.

Spencer Side Count:  Finds a bull riding machine from the junkyard and fixes it up.  Then he learns to ride it!

Penny Tee Count: Church Pants - worn by Sam.  Church Pants was said by Freddie before he gets a tattoo and Carly thinks it sounds funny in iStakeout.

Review: I love how Mr. Howard says "Yeeeah".  I also enjoy when Sam is telling off Gorman.  When Carly and Freddie are "so scared"...that is awesome.  Spencer's story bores me.  I like the ending because I like Principal Franklin and the mean teachers!

Total Score: 4/5

iCook Review

iCook #2 of Season 3 to air on YTV
Originally Aired:  September 19, 2009 (2nd), Filmed  28th (228)
Due to a writer's strike Season 2 and 3 were filmed back to back and all have production codes in the 200s.

Synopsis:  
Ricky Flame, the star of a cooking show (Food Fight) does a show versus iCarly cooking Spaghetti Tacos.  But they BEAT him and he loses it!  He quits and then wrestles kids to be a "winner", until Sam kicks his ass and that's it.
Meanwhile Spencer has a dream of hugging Nug Nug and waits to hug him in the Groovy Smoothie.

Fun Facts:  
Sam's mom dated the electrician Douglas who helps Sam.
Galaxy Wars is mentioned again.  Freddie dressed as Nug Nug in Season 1.
Ricky has never lost!
Once again T-Bo talks to Spencer but they are yet to be buddies.
The judges in Food Fight have a lady that is very much like Paula Abdul in her soft way of speaking to contestants.
Another Seddie moment occurs in this one similar to Locker 239, Freddie pulls Sam away from the smoking locker in case it was on fire.  It's interesting that Freddie cares enough to pull Sam out of harms way more than once.
Sam's trick to get her mom out of bed is to yell "Get up you lazy blob!  There's a cop at the door and he's got a warrant!"
Seattle is mocked for it's rain when Carly opens the curtains and it's raining.

Spencer Side Count:  Has the dream of Nug Nug from Galaxy Wars and goes to get his hug at the Groovy Smoothie.

Penny Tee Count: None that I saw.

Review: This is not one of my favourites.  However, I think Ricky is hilarious and when Sam takes him DOWN at the end, it saves this one for me.  I love how Ricky rolls up into a ball and moans all the time.

Total Score: 3/5
