I actually loved the OG "iCarly" and when I found out that there was a reboot I immediately went to watch the first episode and I was rather disappointed in the execution. I think its suppose to be comedy but it feels really dry and empty. I think the concept can go somewhere but it needs a direction and actual comedy writers. I believe that a comedy approach like Fox's "New Girl" would work really well for this new show.
โEach New Girl episode started out as a pitch page, went through stages of an outline and a final draft before being filmed and edited,[6] a process which could take weeks.[35] Each stage was approved by Meriwether and her co-showrunners, by the production company Chernin, the Fox studio and the Fox network.[6] One group of writers worked on alternate punchlines ("alts"), while another group reworked a draft until they find the funniest and most emotionally resonant version. All characters are tied into the story, and determining their motivation is the major goal so that people will laugh. Before taking the script to the table read with the whole cast on Tuesday, the main writers of an episode continued working on the draft over the weekend and the executive producers polish itโ
