One of Nickelodeon's biggest hits has been iCarly.
It stars Miranda Cosgrove (School of Rock cutie, Drake & Josh
regular) as Carly, a girl who becomes a quasi celebrity in Seattle after
broadcasting a webshow starring herself and her friend Sam. Carly's
friend Freddie is the technology guy for their show.

Carly lives
with her older brother Spencer and he is her legal guardian. This leads
to the possibility of much more shenanigans and hijinks than when you're
under parental supervision.
Each episode has Carly living out
her regular life, without letting her fame get to her head. She is an
intelligent and honest girl, which makes her a good character for young
children to watch.
Another great element of iCarly is the fact
that it is very now and current because Carly's show is on the internet.
Kids will appreciate that it's not the same old boring storylines that
could be transposed into any given decade.
The crazy situations that Sam, Carly, Freddie and Spencer get into make for a big amount of laughs every episode!

Family Time Factor:
This is something that anyone from 4-104 could get into. The writing is witty, but there are many things that younger kids will find funny too. Although I think some of the themes such as boyfriend/girlfriend/kissing is not something I want my younger kids watching, it's a pretty family-friendly show!
