Entertainment News #30: iCarly Revival Cancelled

I'm sure my fellow iCarly fans have already heard the disappointing news that the iCarly revival series has been cancelled after three seasons by Paramount Plus. This was truly surprising news because the show is definitely a fan favorite. I would loved to know the reason (so far it hasn't been reported) as to why this show got cancelled. For anyone who never watched the revival, the show followed Carly Shay who brought back her web show iCarly while also trying to navigate life as an adult. Along for the journey was her older brother Spencer, her best friend (and soon to be boyfriend) Freddie Benson and some new and old friends.

It really is disappointing that this show was cancelled but I want to thank the actors and the creative team for successfully reviving this show. It can be difficult to bring back a popular show but they did. I'm usually not a fan of reboots and revivals but I found they did a really good job with this show. It still felt like the original show but also felt new and refreshing as it centered around these adult characters. I truly wish the actors and creative team all the best and success in their next projects.

Fandom: Congratulations to iCarly Fans for Carly and Freddie Going Canon

Happy Sunday and Congratulations to iCarly fans for Carly Shay and Fredward "Freddie" Benson finally going canon in the iCarly revival episode iMake New Memories (season 3 episode 3) on Paramount Plus. As happy as I am for Carly and Freddie fans, it's still a little bittersweet because I liked Sam Puckett and Freddie being together in the original iCarly series. They had this weird chaotic energy that I just loved so much.

While Carly and Freddie were never my favorite non-canon couple (at the time), that doesn't mean I can't be happy for the fans who have been waiting a long time for this to happen between Carly and Freddie. So to all of them, I say Congratulations. I truly love when fans get to celebrate.

And not to make this about 9-1-1 but with so many popular non-canon couples finally becoming canon, it's also bittersweet that Evan "Buck" Buckley and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz are still not given the chance to go canon. It's starting to make me feel like the 9-1-1/SpongeBob Squarepants meme (below) that I've also seen so many other Buck and Eddie fans have posted.

I know I've said this so many times but if either Buck or Eddie had been a woman then they would have already been together by the third or fourth season. But unfortunately non-canon straight couples are more likely to go canon than non-canon gay, lesbian, etc. couples which is so disappointing. But that's not going to stop me from posting about them and why they should be canon.

Anyway, again I want to say Congratulations to Carly and Freddie fans. It's been 15 year in the making but it finally happened.

Entertainment News #1: A Quiet Place II, iCarly, Jane Austen

- I read that A Quiet Place Part II did great in theatres earning $57 million at the box office over the Memorial Day weekend. I guess this means people are eager to get back to watching movies in the theatre. As much as I love watching movies, I'm still not too keen on sitting in a theatre but I do want to see this movie because it does look very good. For now, I will have to wait until it's out on DVD/Blu-ray. For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer, I posted it below.

Fandom Friday: How can iCarly share the same universe as Henry Danger?

I don't understand how iCarly can be in the same universe as Henry Danger on Nickelodeon. On Game Shakers, the characters Triple G, Hudson, Babe and Kenzie are really big fans of the iCarly TV series to the point that they snuck into the hotel room of actor Nathan Kress (who played Freddie Benson on iCarly) to ask him questions about the show on the episode Game Shippers.
