"iCarly" Season 5 (Nick) takes the convergent entertainment experience for kids to a new level. "iCarly" is a comedy for today's digital generation that makes TV history as the first scripted series to integrate kid-created content. The innovative show, starring Miranda Cosgrove ("Drake & Josh") as Carly Shay, follows her cool character on and off webcam, as she clicks with kids everywhere by hosting her own home-grown web show — and drives viewer participation on icarly.com.

"iCarly" converges the television screen and the web for kids, and iCarly.com boasts a dual identity: it's the series' show within the show, and it exists as a real-life website featuring the series' stars in-character. Kids can go online to check out highlights of the latest webcasts from the series - plus additional footage not seen on-air — as well as to read weekly character blogs, send e-mails, ask questions, post comments and submit videos showing their talents, weird skills, homemade animated shorts, participate in polls and more. Within the TV series when Carly and her sassy best bud/sidekick Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) appear on their web show — produced by techno-geek pal Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) — they ask for submissions and ideas. "If you wanna be on our show, e-mail us at iCarly.com and tell us why!"
Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) led a pretty normal life ... until she and her friends started their own web show, that is. When iCarly becomes an instant success, Carly and her pals have to balance their newfound fame with the problems of everyday life. With her parents overseas, Carly relies on the help of her co-stars Sam and Freddie and her eccentric older brother/guardian Spencer (Jerry Trainor) to keep it all together. Sam and Freddie's constant bickering and Spencer's odd habits make for a lot of good material ... but is it enough to fill a new show every week?
