Actual Conversation

Since we have all been sick around here, there has been WAY too much TV watching. We don't watch cool stuff like Leverage or CSI or even 30 Rock. Nope. We watch I-Carly.

I-Carly. {said with extreme horror}

Have you ever wondered about I-Carly? I have.

Thing 3: I love this show.

Me: Where are her parents?

Thing 1: she lives with her brother.

Me: But, where are her parents? Where are her parents?!

Thing 3: She lives with her brother, Mom. He's like twenty.

Me: Her brother is weird. Seriously. Where. Are. Her. Parent's?

Thing 1: They're on a permanent vacation and she gets to live with her weird but cool older brother.

Me: Who does that?

Thing 1: I wish my parents did that.

Me: Uhhh... Gee. Thanks.

This is one of Caleb's FAVORITE shows! and remember he JUST turned 4!
iCarly is a bit wierd, but better than those dumb twins on the boat!

Annette Lyon said...

If it helps, he dad's deployed, and her mom is dead.

And I'm embarrassed that I know that.

Jami said...

My kids found this on netflix. I've had to change the password.

my girls love icarly too.. its on saturday morning in australia

Teri said...

I'm with Annette, totally embarrassed that I knew that. My kids LOVE this show. I can't stand it, and try to leave the room whenever it is on. Oh well.

DeNae said...

Pausing for a moment of smug superiority, because I think my kids have FINALLY outgrown most of those shows.

Except even my 19 year old likes that "Wizards of Waverly Place" show, so we're getting her into counseling.

And "deployed and dead" are somewhat more honorable that "permanent vacation", since I always took that as a euphemism for "in prison."

Rachel Sue said...

If it makes you feel any better every. Single. Game that my children play starts out with: "And then our parents died."

Without the influence of icarly.

Barbaloot said...

Seriously-what's with shows where high school (or younger) kids don't have parents? That's why I like Wizards of Waverly Place:)

Sarah said...

I will take ICarly any day over Hannah Montana! I am embarrassed to admit that I too knew that her dad was deployed. Even more so that I know that he is in a submarine somewhere. We watch this show a lot at our house. :p

That Girl said...

Hmmmm. I don't think I've heard of this show. Obviously it's worth watching.

Lisa said...

If it makes you feel any better, I LIVE with a miniature Hannah Montana. I get the finger snapping, the head snaking and the 'look' everytime I talk to her. Consequently I am happy to have her watch iCarly or Wizards of Waverly Place because then all I get is weirdness and comments like, "If I had a wand I could change this mushroom into a car!" Yeah. So wrong.

Sher said...

I hate that show. HATE IT!! She's a brat, and my kids aren't allowed to watch it.

Charlotte said...

I knew the parental situations on iCarly. One of the ones my kids watched before I got really annoyed with the bratty attitudes of all the kids and blocked all the children TV channels. Now my 12 year old daughter watches reruns of CSI & Criminal Minds (A better direction, right? I guess I chose serial killer teenager over a bratty one.)

ROFL. i have often wondered the same thing. Good thing Annette had the answer.
Now I don't have to be in the dark anymore.

Camille said...

We actually love this show, and our oldest isn't even 2! I can't believe I just admitted that. My hubby comes home from work and wants to watch something lite and mindless and he turns to iCarly. I give him a hard time but I think I like it as much as him.

Don't judge us.

i have asked the same thing before!
