Check out the full season 1 review here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsiDepuq2puZhI0.html&ab_channel=JordanFringe Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel! Big NEW iCarly video Saturday, can’t wait for you to see it! I appreciate you all, have a great rest of your day! 😄

I’m glad that the ICarly reboot is actually good. I’m tired of companies try to reboot older shows purely nostalgia but completely fail to understand what made the show good in the first place.

The whole treehouse rumbling thing really gave it that "end of the season" type vibe you'd get in the original series. However, it would have been nice if they played it up more. Like it would have been interesting to see them running out of food, people get lost in interesting pair ups, actual struggle from the rain, and more stuff that leads up to the big treehouse rumble. Overall, I feel like this entire thing was near perfect for a show that's returned almost a decade later. I wouldn't expect it to have everything hit the mark and the quality definitely got better as you could see the cast get more comfortable and play off each other. I can't wait for Season 2.

I'm proud of this Icarly reboot, way better than expected

Freddie's reaction right before Carly gave her reply was kinda interesting, he kinda gulped and then the helicopter arrived, but he was really into what Carly was gonna say.

"And the ride's not over. We're just stopping for some gas." I don't know why but I really liked that

Let’s not forget that the camera was focus on Freddie only just before the helicopter came to rescue them. Freddie’s facial expression might be indicative of his feels for Carly.

Guru Spencer not knowing what was going on around him was the best part of the whole episode I think!

I get the feeling Beau is meant to invoke Sam in some way, being a creative and impulsive kindred spirit to Carly. As seen in iCan Fix It Myself, Carly does miss Sam as shown in why she was so determined to keep Vin Diesel running (in one way a Sam vs Wes conflict as well).

I will say that blueberries are pretty cool, but blueberry-flavouring can be pretty nasty, so I can appreciate Carly's sentiment.

When Beau mentions his show and Carly makes that remark about "riding on her show's coattails", i think that was self-deprecating humour, as in the new show riding on the coattails of the old icarly.

I'm assuming as Wes is a more mature partner, Carly may be feeling panicked because it's not about Wes being a bore, it's about her needing to mature to match his wavelength. With Beau, that's not expected of her. She can just go back to how things were without having to change. Until Beau remembers why they broke up and dumps her again

Only this show would have the season finale be a FYRE FEST parody.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the ‘Crazy hat party’ bit that’s always in the original’s intro for every season? Goosebumps!

Jordan fringe you've been the true hero, saving me money and keeping me caught up.

I didn't even watch the original iCarly and this feels like how originally kids/preteen shows should reboot. Grow with your audience!

The reboot's just been okay so far. It's especially obvious in this episode that this show is on a reduced budget compared to the original show, which really hurts its presentation. My favorite characters in this were Spencer, who feels no different than he did before, and Harper, who's been a less toxic friend compared to Sam. Could really use more of Carly actually doing the iCarly show to help get a sense of what it's like now. Also hope to see more returning characters like Gibby or T-Bo.

Personally as much as I liked this episode, it didn’t feel like the finale to this first season. I fell they could’ve done more to spice things up. My favourite is definitely the mechanics episode directed by Nathan Kress.

Wes should just dump Carly. Ain't no way you should stay with someone who is thinking of leaving.

I feel like the main conflict of this season finale really didn't resonate with me. I mean, are we supposed to actually be cheering for both Wess and Beau? One of them fixed her car for free despite the fact that it was supposed to cost thousands of dollars, has been there for her, took her side against his own nana, and is super forgiving of her despite how many times she's messed up the past 3 episodes. The other one only appeared for 3 minutes in the first episode to dump her in front of an international audience. On the contrary, I think the viewer can't help but be pissed off at Carly for even considering Beau. It's just her going back to her old serial dating ways and dumping guys for really shallow reasons again. I'm this close to saying that she should give up on a relationship and accept that she just enjoys the thrill of dating new guys more than forming an actual connection with someone. I can't really be invested in this season finale conflict since we all know that regardless of who Carly chooses, she'll just dump them like she always does when she finds out something about them that she doesn't like.

*THIS* is how you reboot a nostalgic TV show properly. We'll done to everyone involved and thanks to this show I discovered this wonderful channel!

Based off my hope for Carly and Freddie getting together and the numerous sitcoms I’ve watched, i thought Carly was gonna runaway run into Freddie and they have a moment. I’m sure it will happen eventually.

The Bo/Wes/Carly conflict felt so forced unfortunately. It makes Carly look dumb that she’s even considering going back with Bo. As Harper said, Wes is a compliment to Carly and if they drop this relationship I’m going to be irritated.

I liked Freddie's quick *"I am my mother's son"* as he puts a helmet on Millicent in the collapsing treehouse scene, it was cute/funny

I love the subplot with Spencer, Freddie and Millicent in this new episode too. Their dynamic together is amazing I think!

Generally, I enjoyed the finale... mostly because I liked seeing all of the most important characters from season one together in a single space (minus Maeve). That togetherness felt different (in a good way) from the feel of previous episodes in the series.

They need a victorious reboot now, it’s been long awaited and the whole main cast wants it

There's not a frosty, snow blizzard, chance in hell I would get back with an ex. I don't see how Wes's survival skills were a bad or annoying thing. Didn't they see Castaway? Beau is a child. Wes is a man.

Jordan, it's really apparent that you put a lot of time and effort into these videos, and I must say they are amazing. Keep it up!

I can't believe it's over dude. Your videos helped me and I'm sure many others appreciate what the series is. I wasn't a big fan of the finale, but you illustrated a good reason for why it didn't let you down. LOVED THE PRIZE SEGMENT BTW!!! PERFECT MUSIC CHOICE FOR THAT 90s feel.

Looking forward to seeing who the special guest is!

Spencer's obliviousness during the storm while everyone else was losing their shit-- that took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

this has been awesome, i really liked your reviews Jordan, they gave me a very similar feel to when i watched carly when i was younger :)

that last scene where carly and freddie looked at eachother was definitely SOMETHING. also at the same scene where carly was trying to choose between 2 guys, freddie was always in the frame. i'm pretty sure it wasn't a coincidence.

I loved iCarly 2021. It's refreshing to see a reboot of a childhood show that seemed really genuine and not disappointing. The show was mature, but still goofy. Perfect humour for the old iCarly fans that grew up. Looking forward to another season!

Low key want to see Wes back. He's been a good character and a nice change for carly.

They need to make a Wizards Waverly Place reboot. I would very much enjoy watching an adult wizard Alex Russo.

I love Jordon’s reviews of this show. He really lets the show speak for itself without making his expectations of the show get in the way. 🙂❤️

You should do Ned's Declassified! You could talk about not just the episode but how helpful the tips actually are!

Honestly, the Carly/Beau/Wes love triangle felt like they were trying to get us in a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob situation, but the audience doesn’t know enough about either of them to even pick a side. Honestly, I’m more team neither. Beau is a jerk and Wes is kinda boring.. they’re gonna need to do some more character building to get us invested in this love triangle, because I don’t really have a solid reason to ship either couple. But really, I don’t know if any amount of character building will make me stray from Team Creddie 💕😆

Nothing pained me more than seeing Carly lean towards Beau.

Ngl I didn't see Harper getting together with Dutch at all because Dutch is really annoying lol. If I were Carly, I would pick Wes. Fun is fun, but stability to what keeps a house together. You can have fun with your friends. Plus Wes can fix cars. What's better than a hot husband that's useful? They only had issues because they were in the middle of a forest. How often is that going to happen? And what if they had been lost? They would've been incredibly thankful for Wes.

At first I wasn't gonna watch this show, but ever since what Drake Bell is did recently. It gave me the reason to Miranda Cosgrove's iCarly and Josh Peck's Turner and Hooch, to appreciate those who haven't snapped after being a child star.

I love watching the episode and then immediately coming to Jordan's video for a summary of what I had just watched

A fun finale i thought would've been cool was gibby ending up on the island for some unexplained reason and ending it with sam in carlys apartment waiting for carly to walk in

I feel like the big reason they did the whole convention outdoors thing with all those too good to be true promises is because of things like Fyre Festival that are all too infamous. Also can I just say that Jerry Trainor is the best thing to ever happen to television?

“island” “filled with fancy tree houses, tons of fun” oh no, that’s going to be a Fire festival, right? and it was

Harper and Dutch are so beautiful. Their final scene this episode was my personal highlight of the whole revival!

I've really enjoyed the reboot so far! The only complaint I've got with the finale is that it basically already confirmed Carly isn't gonna end up with either of them. The fact she isn't sure who she wants is already sign enough that she's better off without either of them, and I feel like that'll be the route she takes in season 2. Wish it was just a bit more exciting is all.

Sapphic lovestory to end the season? Yes please So glad they gave Harper and maze complex stories and they weren't these stereotypical ghetto black girl because I'm tired of that and we got a lesbian and swirler in the same season what more can I ask for 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

I personally enjoyed this episode a bit more than the previous one, but as a season finale, I think it’s kinda weak (especially for a revival that is aimed at the audience who grew up with the first show and more adult now). I know the original iCarly didn’t always have big season finales with some of the seasons ending with an episode that would just feel like a standard episode within a season. The only finales the first show had that were big were iFight Shelby Marx (season 2), iParty with Victorious (season 4), and iGoodbye (season 6). Many adult sitcoms usually have big finales that leaves you hanging for what’s to come next in the following season and had some building towards it, but I just don’t really feel it here. I kind of predicted that there was going to be some conflict between Beau and Wes, but her having to be in this rough spot of her choosing either Beau or Wes didn’t really have the kind of build up that it should have had prior. Beau was in the first 5 minutes of the first episode, briefly mentioned in iGot Your Back when Carly received the email invite for the red carpet event, and then suddenly Beau comes back here mentioning that him breaking up with her was the second worst mistake he’s ever done. However, there was never really any ongoing plot line for Carly regarding that specific breakup she had with him and having that difficulty moving forward from him. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to take it that Wes appears to be jealous of Beau and is assuming that Carly is immediately falling back for him, but I just don’t want it be that Wes is just this insecure guy who makes false accusations and doesn’t trust Carly because that’s also another cliche we’ve seen so much in everything (and I personally don’t want to be reminded of a previous breakup I had a couple years ago where that happened in a similar fashion). It was nice to see Freddie continuing to get his career development and receiving support from Spencer, Beau, and Millicent, which I thought was good that they did that for him. Also, Harper and Double Dutch getting together…I kind of saw it coming and their kiss was the highlight of the episode for me, but I feel like it will backfire quickly within the next season because it is Harper and Double Dutch breaking boundaries since Harper is essentially dating her boss, which doesn’t go well professionally.

I didn't except the episode to end like that, and at first I was honestly dissapointed. But then I rewatched the episode and came to really appreciate the lowkey cliffhanger at the end. It just made me more excited for season 2

You can tell the ICarly crew were limited in what they could accomplish because of the pandemic. So, keeping that in mind, they did an outstanding job.

I have a theory. Carly has always liked Freddy but didn’t want to ruin their friendship. So she keeps him at a distance. She tries to fill the void with dating all these other guys but none of them would be great for her like Freddie would be. That’s why they never work. Also I think Freddie has been the first boy to actually say I love you to her. So whenever she hears that it’s triggers memories. That’s probably why she looked at Freddy after they both said I love you to Carly.

I KNOW I'm not the only one who SCREAMEDDDD when Harper and Dutch started kissing. FINALLY, A GAY RELATIONSHIP!!

I was thinking of the Fire Festival before the interviews at the end.

Did anyone else notice that they cut to Freddie before the helicopter came?

honestly, the last 3 episodes havent done it for me, to me, they started the first half of the season on a breakup, had carly grow into someone who is more relationship-wise independent, and then seemed to throw that out the window with these last 3 episodes. she has since done the same overbearing behavior that beau broke up with her over. beau mentioned that with how new the relationship was in the beginning, that carly had been going too fast like going to the doctor with him, and then later when wes told her in a mature way that he didnt feel they were ready in their relationship yet to meet his grandmother over dinner, she pushed until he gave in, which is that same boundary crossing behavior in a newer relationship. i was really happy with the direction they were going of her learning how to be on her own while doing these big things and im disappointed that she has been acting like she needs a guy to be in a relationship with her :(

I thank you for the last few months. Not just the Icarly stuff

I wish the whole Harper romance thing had more time to build. It sorta feels rushed and like pandering towards a subsect of audiences. But that's just my opinion on the matter. I prefer when relationships are shown to grow overtime and don't just sorta... happen. With Carly, it's always been her character trope of crushing on a guy hard and it never working out, so it feels in character in this episode. But again, I don't know. Just my opinion on the matter, really hope people don't get all butthurt over it. :T

You did a good job keeping up with all of the season 1 episodes in the same day they air! Keep it up!

Opposites do not attract. Bonds attract, having similar passions are healthy. My parents were opposites and they never had anything in common also divorced

Why would Carly be into Beau anyway, didn't he just dump her out of no where at the beginning of the season? Seems like they aren't addressing any problems they had as a couple in the first place, which we didn't know about. What has changed since their break-up to make them both want each other again? Like many others, I've only watched this and not the actual show, so my scope is limited.

I thoroughly enjoyed the revival and it got me going back and rewatching the original series too. I appreciated the better representation, the more adult themes, but as you’ve so rightly pointed out I’m missing the iCarly part of iCarly. It’s like they forgot that she has a web show and just use it when they need in a “oh yeah we can introduce that through the webshow” as opposed to having it occur more naturally as it originally did.

S1 Journey was amazing

Gotta love how Chase from zoey 101 is back

could you do something similar to this about monsters at work

Man, am I the only person that doesn't care about who hooked up with who? Wes/Carly/Beau and especially the Creddie ship? I just want wacky shenanigans, fun characters and good gags again.

I love this reboot. People talk about how sporadic DD and Harper’s relationship is as if it’s a bad thing. Harper is established as someone who is non-committal and has relationships like a revolving door. DD is someone who is very random and has a “go with the flow” type of personality. It is not unrealistic for them to spontaneously get together in the heat of the moment. People always talk about how relationships have to be planned and dragged out, but that’s not true to life. Sometimes you have this random act of wanting to be in a relationship or conflicted feelings that you just act upon. Spontaneous relationships ARE realistic. They happen all the time. The problem is that long drawn relationships are normalized in social media and media in general. But that’s not how all relationships work. Sometimes things just happen. DD and Harper’s personality is the exact reason why their relationship is spontaneous. They ARE spontaneous people. This SHOW is spontaneous. It’s the same setup as Seddie where they have their back and forth, but their chemistry is clear and spontaneously end up kissing each other as a way to experiment with their feelings. The same thing, by the way, happened with Creddie. Creddie’s kiss was also spontaneous and heat of the moment. People just have biased viewpoints on what is acceptable and not because of the nostalgia brings. But spontaneous doesn’t mean it’s bad or poorly written. It’s a sitcom with a fast pace plot. This show takes that but also continues to address previous episodes and doesn’t leave them behind. I am excited to see where season 2 goes and I hope they continue in the direction. I doubt Jennette’s going to appear in this show for a while if at all, but I also don’t think she’s needed. Of course it would be wonderful to have Sam back. But understand there’s a lot of trauma associated with the character for that actress. So if she doesn’t come back, it’s perfectly fine. I really enjoy the energy of this reboot and I’m glad they aren’t afraid to tell the stories that they want to.

I honestly didn’t know what I was expecting this episode to do with Webicon as the main plot point because I figured it either would take place at the convention itself, or Nora kidnapped them again. Webicon being completely broke in a ≈post COVID 19 world where smaller conventions would be basically snuffed out and bigger ones would definitely need a few donation drives, I guess it makes sense. Of course I was wanting to see another Jojo cosplayer in the background of an episode like in the last Webicon episode.

Hey Jordan, I just want to thank you for doing these videos on the ICarly reboot. I know I want to pay for Paramount + so I can follow along. Again man thanks for this series, I can’t wait to see the video on Saturday! Keep up the good work man!

*Sees Harper and Dutch kissing* Oh, be still, my bisexual heart

I'll be honest, while I don't think that the show is bad and it's great to see where our characters are a decade from where iCarly ended, nothing about any of the characters stories or arcs are enticing enough for me to defend backing a renewal of further episodes. To be fair, adult sitcoms happen to be one of my least favorite formats of television, so there is that bias. Part of the appeal of the original iCarly for me was how it pushed boundaries for being a children's sitcom with it's absurdity, pop culture and adult humor. As a 22 year old now, I watch to be in the know, but not much else is hooking me to the series. I will say that there is a charm to the main cast members and there are moments of subtle humor that I appreciate but I suppose I would have rather the show went in the direction of focusing on Carly and something that replaces the web show as opposed to her day to day life now (which is a realistic approach but part of the fun of iCarly was the absurdity and adventure, which unfortunately is a category I think the revival pales in comparison to the original)

Not gonna lie I’ve been way more invested in Freddie’s storyline throughout the season as a whole rather than Carly. Carly’s storyline at times felt like it had some very weak writing, especially since such a large portion of her storyline was just relationship based

I see these in my recommended and literally say “it’s Thursday!!!!!” Every time

“ Hang out with the dolphins & play golf “ 😆😆

more Dutch screen-time for season 2 confirmed

This season started off strong but became lackluster. There needs to be long term storylines and actual character development. They need to do better in season two

Aw gonna miss these on Thursdays also I hope the person in Saturdays analysis is jayniac

Can't wait for season 2

This episode is a 2008 Nickolodean fever dream

Enter Prozd: “Chairem Anime” featuring Carly from the iCarly Series 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine she chooses Freddie in the some episode of season 2 ...I think they'll build Carly's and Freddie's relationship

I like Harper and I think she’s is a great addition to the show, but am I the only one who doesn’t like Dutch?

It basically did what the new saved by the bell and fuller house failed to do imo it felt like the old show but updated but it didn't mock the original show .

🤣 i love how Spencer is complete unaware of the fight as well as the storm (6:11 - 6:35)

This last episode's description made me excited for a moment and then it got to Bo.

Ngl that honda joke was hilarious 🤣

is your guest star quinton reviews 👀👀👀

They got way more with that treehouse than the poor people that got stuck at FireFestival.

I’ve really enjoyed the reboot, but this was a weak sauce season finale. Way to end the season on a cliffhanger no one cares about. Who will Carly choose- the ex we’ve been programmed to hate after he dumped her on a live stream in the first scene of the series or the cute mechanic who seems nice enough, but we’ve only known him for 3 episodes?

The Atlantis Bahamas thing had me DEAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bruh that Jerry Scene had me dying of laughter 🤣🤣🤣

I'm from Germany, so I couldn't watch the series. But your Videos really helped me not to cry

love the videos but just a suggestion for next time maybe lower the background music a little i started freestyling around 7:14 and forgot I was watching youtube for a sec pshshshsh haha love the vids tho!

1. Where was the sexual tension between Harper and Dutch??? That came out of nowhere. They give Spencer a girl, give Haper a girl, give Carly 2 boys, and Fredy just fails again. Just give everybody a girl, except for Freddy. 2. Why build up this perfect guy for Carly and out of nowhere give him deal breaking flaws? This new personality came out of nowhere. His personally shouldn't be based on the plot, the plot should be based on his personality. Finally. Why would Carly start to miss her ex the second her perfect boyfriend starts acting weird? Why would we even want to see them together? We seen him in like 2 scenes in the first episode. Maybe I was wrong about the writers taking risks. They want to play it safe. Keep the same formula. This way they can keep making Carly meet a guy that seems perfect until the plot tells him to be absolutely insane.

This episode highlighted that neither Wes nor Beau are right for Carly and vice versa. Wes might be a decent person to have in a long-term relationship, as he brings stability and commitment to a relationship, but Carly is incompatible at the moment to deal with someone that is too careful all his life. Love and romance aren't about just playing it safe. Sometimes it requires you to get out of your comfort zones at times. Have some fun, liven things up, that sort of thing. Meanwhile, Beau is too chaotic and spontaneous that he can and has dropped the relationship easily on a whim. He might be nice to have short-term but he isn't one that is willing to commit. Carly needs someone that can balance being somewhat spontaneous and fun to make happy memorable moments, but is also willing to commit to a relationship.

You should do a series on NBC’s Manifest. There’s so many things you could dive into with the show.

I love how this episode was straight up Fyre festival down to the documentary of the disaster afterwards

I am really glad you did this series for the iCarly revival you did a great job and can't wait for that extra deep dive video 😍💜
