I never dreamed the audience would embrace "iCarly" the way it has ... within less than a year, we saw "iCarly" become more than just a successful show. Thanks to the fans, "iCarly" became part of American pop culture.
iCarly" ran on Nickelodeon for seven seasons. The series received critical acclaim and even drew huge celebrity guest stars like Emma Stone, Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon on its way to becoming one of the Nickelodeon's most successful shows of all time. Fan's loved the series' interactivity, but now, even two years after series finale "iGoodbye" aired Nov. 23, 2012, there is still a lot viewers don't know.On the show, Sam eats pretty much everything she can get her hands on, but McCurdy told RadioFree.com that she definitely differs with her character there:
There are times when I have had to eat food that I hate, like for example the pie. Or on the first episode, I had to eat so much ham I threw up, and then had to go eat more. That was horrible! I had to eat Cheez Whiz ... Didn't like that.
The actress said the props department worked hard to make the food great, but she revealed to Rosie O'Donnell in a 2012 interview that she hasn't had ham since the first episode.
According to iCarly Facts Tumblr, the episode "iLost My Mind" gives out an actual working number for Sam Puckett.
Calling the number "503-664-0452" connects you to a voicemail message from Sam basically saying to hang up because she'll never check her messages.
One of the greatest mysteries from "iCarly" comes in the episode "iGot A Hot Room." In one particular scene, Carly mentions an infamous incident with a goat at a petting zoo.
Schneider wrote in his blog that he gets asked a lot about what the goat actually did to Carly, sometimes even by Cosgrove herself, but that it will probably always remain a mystery:
When we wrote that script, the writers and I had fun thinking about things the goat might have done ... but we all had different ideas. And, as you know, it was never stated in the episode. So, this one is up to your own imagination. There is no correct answer. It's anyone's guess.
When answering fan questions about how he decided on a name for the series, Schneider said it came from talking with Steve Molaro, who's now executive producer for "The Big Bang Theory." The show creator said the main character's name in his original script was Sam. That would have been Carly's name, except the URL for iSam was already registered. Schneider said he then bought the URL for iJosie.com, but he later decided on iCarly.
Had Schneider been able to buy iSam.com, Carly and Sam would likely have been Sam and Kira, respectively, which were the characters in the original script.
