Last month, iCarly became the latest Nickelodeon series to be revived, but unlike, say for example, Are You Afraid of The Dark, it wasn't that long ago that the series had its first run.
However, one key cast member from the original series isn't back, and some fans aren't having it, unleashing vitriol on a new cast member for no other reason than needing to vent, but going about it the wrong way.
Jeannette McCurdy, who played Samantha "Sam" Puckett, best friend and sidekick to teen talk show host Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove), has retired from show business, and, for the new series, currently streaming on Paramount+, a new character was created, Harper, played by Laci Mosley.
Seems a bunch of racist, low information trolls decided to vent on Mosley, using the predictable slurs, among other things, but they don't understand that none of this is Mosley's fault. All these idiots want is to have the same exact show, continued from the point where it ended a few years ago, and sometimes, that isn't possible.
McCurdy's not the only one missing, of course. Series creator & executive producer Dan Schneider (ex-Head of The Class) left Nickelodeon under a cloud of controversy due to allegations of sexual harassment a while back, and has zero to do with the revival or the casting thereof.
The trolls can't be bothered to pick up a newspaper or do online searches. Otherwise, they'd be a bit better informed. Then again, their parents probably are fans of America's most famous troll, Tucker Carlson...!
If you don't like the casting, fine, don't watch the show, and shut up. That's all I have to say about it.
We'll review the original iCarly soon.
