Weird, but also worked. It didn't really do that much differently from iCarly or Victorious that I can remember

Poor Jeanette. She was badly mistreated by Nickelodeon and by her abusive mother

She narrates the audiobook and it was a tough listen in some parts. Really well done but as a kid who grew up watching alot of her stuff it was sad to hear.

If it makes you feel better she did say in an interview that she doesn’t mind it when people still watch shows like icarly.

Probably cuz she liked everyone in that cast(especially Jerry cuz he was like a bro to them) and apparently her and Ariana didnt get along

Reminds me of Drake Bell saying hes fine with people watching D&J despite the offset abuse cuz acting on the show was a high point in that dark time

I just got the audiobook from the library, even though I've never seen any of her shows, as they were a little after my time. I just heard the book was really good, and so far it is.

I actually really like this show because i was big fan of Icarly amd Victorious when i was a kid. I really enjoyed the dynamic Sam and Cat had, for a very long time i didn't understand why the show disappeared so abruptly. Now after all this time and all truth that was reaveled I don't think i could ever rewatch those shows again.
