iCarly is the "first scripted series that will incorporate kid-created original content," according to Nickelodeon's marketing campaign and press kit. However, the content usually feature actors instead of real people.
iCarly.com is a real Web site, and if you type any other Web site domain mentioned on the show or on the show's Web site, it will take you to iCarly.com.
There seems to be a color scheme with the main characters' wardrobes: Carly: red, Sam: yellow, Freddie: blue, Spencer: purple.
In one of the final episodes of Drake and Josh, a movie title listed on the reader board of the Premiere was "Now She's Carly." This was a reference to Miranda Cosgrove (Megan on Drake and Josh) moving on to play Carly on iCarly.
The role of Sam Puckett is based on Jennette McCurdy's guest appearance in "Zoey 101" (2005) {Bad Girl (#2.5)}, where she plays exactly the same kind of character as she does in iCarly.
Lisa Lillien, author of the "Hungry Girl" cookbooks, is a big fan of the show and her Hungry Girl image is used in the opening credits. She is also the wife of Dan Schneider.
Freddy often speaks some of his lines in Spanish. Series creator Dan Schneider has often stated on his blog that the reason behind Freddy's random Spanish outbursts will be revealed in a future episode.
Most of the furniture in Carlys apartment was made by "Jellio", a company who makes furniture in the shape of cupcakes, ice cream, Rubiks Cubes and other random objects. To name a few, the hanging monkeys on the large window, the lamps, and the various colored gummy bear lamps were all designed for the show. Recently the Gummy Bear lamps have become available at the Jellio website.
The original title of the show was "Starstruck", and the plot followed Carly, a regular girl, who is casted on her favorite TV show. The idea was then switched to she gets her own show, and it was then changed again to she gets her own Web-show.
Spencer's friend "Socko" has been mentioned numerous times throughout the shows run, and it became a gag in the writing room to mention Socko's friends and family members along with their professions. Socko makes Socks, his brother Tyler sells ties. Rob is a thief. Taylor is a tailor. Otto is a car salesman. Hattie is a hat maker, cousin Isaac is an optometrist (eyes), etc.
"George" the talking bra is a size 34C.
Spencer's best friend "Socko" is based on a real life person in Dan Schneider's life. The real Socko is a furniture maker.
Sam's sound effect remote used on the show is the only one in existence. They have used the same remote since the Pilot. Dan Schneider keeps it in his home when its not being used for filming to make sure it doesn't get lost.
Each of the four main cast members - Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress - all made their Nickelodeon debuts on a previous show of Dan Schneider's. Miranda was a main cast member of Drake & Josh, and Jerry was a recurring cast member on that show. Jenette was in an episode of Zoey 101, and Nathan made his first appearance in an episode of Drake and Josh.
In the opening credits sequence before the music starts, some of the links in the favorites section on the screen include "TheSlap", the blog from Dan Schneider's show "Victorious", and "Danwarp", the name of Dan Schneider's actual blog.
Most of the comedic lines are improvised on set by the writers, or Dan Schneider. Most of the time the script has very few comedic lines and the comedy in the final cut of the show was improvised. The actors aren't allowed to improvise anything unless they ask the director or Mr. Schneider.
Gibby's last name is Gibson.
In a few episodes, Carly makes "special lemonade" that nobody likes to drink. This was written into the show because on Drake and Josh, another Dan Schneider show, Josh Peck's character would make Limeaide that nobody liked to drink.
iCarly is the third longest running Dan Schneider show, behind 'All That', which had 184 episodes, and 'What I like About You', which had 86 episodes.
The show takes place in Seattle, although it is filmed in Los Angeles.
Lots of times, the show will reference Drake and Josh, another show that Dan Schneider made. This includes Carly mentioning a Peruvian Puff Pepper, although a pepper of the same name was mentioned in Drake and Josh. Another reference is Grandad mentioning the Parker/Nichols hotel. Parker and Nichols are the last names of Drake and Josh in the series.
Recently, Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer wear several custom made t-shirts that reference several jokes from the show such as Sam wearing one that says "Church Pants", a joke from when Freddie says "She flipped out when I spilled one drop of mustard on my church pants!" in a past episode.
The recurring character, Nevel, played by Reed Alexander, actually sounds the way he does on the show in real life. His voice is not edited in any way on the show.
Sam mentions trading her locker with a kid on the wrestling team named "Arthur Gradstein." Arthur Gradstein is the name of a writer on the show.
After the initial argument in the beginning of the episode between Spencer and Grandpa Shay (after Carly, Sam and Freddy leave for the Groovy Smoothie), Grandpa Shay tells Spencer that he'll be staying in the nearby "Parker-Nichols Hotel" for the next couple of days. This is a reference to Drake and Josh, the TV show in which Miranda Cosgrove played in alongside stars Drake Bell (Drake Parker in the show) and 'Josh Peck' (Josh Nichols in the show).
The dental place Spencer works at is called "Schneider's Medical Complex". Schneider is also the last name of the show's creator, Dan Schneider.
Working title: "iGot a Sponsor."
When Principal Franklin is talking on the phone, he mentions "Crusty Cream," a parody of the Winston-Salem born donut company Krispy Kreme.
