Just like the whole "Buzz on Maggie is like the Replacements" situation, we've got another pair of two shows that are being compared like crazy and yet, THEY'RE NOTHING ALIKE!! And those two shows are iCarly and Hannah Montana.

Why are iCarly and Hannah Montana different? Because first of all, Carly is not spoiled and obnoxious like Miley is, Oliver is no where near as dorky as Freddie is and there's no way in a billion years that Lilly would beat up an innocent boy like Sam did in the pilot for iCarly.

Another example would be the iCarly episode "iHatch Chicks". Hannah Montana would have never gotten that dramatic if it did an episode like that. And look at how many "Tearjerker" reviews the iCarly episode "iWanna Stay with Spencer" got, even when it was only the fifth episode of the series! Hannah Montana didn't get that emotional that early. Not even for the entire first season. And if any of the first season episodes did get "Tearjerker" reviews, iWanna Stay with Spencer got more than all of the first season episodes of Hannah Montana got combined.

This is why I said that iCarly is more like That's So Raven because of all the melodrama in iCarly. While Hannah Montana had almost NO drama in its first season. And you all know that iWanna Stay with Spencer was only the fifth (out of the 25 first season episodes) episode of iCarly and you all still cried hard over that. And yet, it's STILL like Hannah Montana?! That just doesn't make sense to me. Hannah Montana didn't get that dramatic that early in the series. That's So Raven got that dramatic that early.

And finally, there's a "Ships" situation. Seddie has like 50 times as much supporters as Creddie does while Moliver and Loliver have the EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF SHIPPERS. The only thing that can fix this is either if more of the Seddie fans went over to Creddie to get the exact same amount of shippers for each one or say, Loliver fans transport over to Moliver so that one ship would have more fans than the other.

And so, with all that said, just face it. Comparing iCarly to Hannah Montana is kinda like comparing Full House to 8 Simple Rules. Sorry if I might have insulted anybody about anything listed here. I didn't mean to. I just had to get that out in the open. But anyway, there's my thesis right there. Laters.

THANK YOU! Finally somebody that agrees with me! They're nothing alike! I don't get why people compare them! I personally hate iCarly but I love Hannah Montana, seriously it's annoying how everyone compares them!

ICarly isn't much like Hannah Montana. I can see there point as there probably the most hyped shows for there respective channels. But other than that nothing really. When u were talking about the dramatic That's So Raven eppy were u talking about Separation Anxiety?

DisneyFreak33 (1): I know, right? Sure, the two shows both have "Living the Dream" plots but other than that, iCarly and Hannah Montana are nothing alike for all those reasons.

DisneyFreak33 (2): Exactly! People who hate TBOM and barely know anything about it say it's automatically like "Replacements" when they're nothing alike!

brandonfrench: Well, you've got one dramatic episode. The others from Season 1 I'm talking about are Test of Friendship, Campaign in the Neck, Teach your Children Well, If I Only Had a Job and Escape Claus (sort of). The plots weren't that dramatic but the episodes just got dramatic.

I competely agree!

Nice reasons agree with all

Yeah i agree with this, Hannah Montana is overrated/overhyped where iCarly is not as much like that, probably because they don't advertise the heck out of Miranda as they do with Miley. iCarly handles things better and i see no resemblance at all with Sam and Freddy towards Lily and Oliver. iCarly is not oeverrated yet its score has been decreasing by some bad reviews, c'mon guys i've seen WAY worse shows than iCarly, and i don't find a thing wrong with iCarly too, plus it is about the only show saving Nick right now. Some of the more recent episodes of SpongeBob suck hard. In fact i also got the top ten of what i think are the worst episodes of SpongeBob in my profile's latest blog right now. DC just isn't the same anymore and a lot of people have been saying that the newer episodes for Hannah Montana have gotten worse. DC's live-action shows nowadays aren't as good which makes me think thye should try going back to having more animated shows again, as long as they don't make more like Phineas and Ferb. Nick's live-action shows i find to be much better as they don't overhype the celebrities so much and are not so teeny-bopperish.

Nowadays' Live-Action Teen Shows sucks!... They're replacing & rip-offing animated shows on D.C. & Nick especially our most favorite shows...

I agree.

I'm glad somebody thinks iCarly is nothing like Hannah Montana. iCarly is much better than Hannah Montana because it's like That's So Raven: it's dramatic. When there was an episode of Hannah Montana on diabetes, they never took it seriously, and it originally banned by parents and I completely see why. They made it only funny and that's not right obviously. Whenever there was an iCarly episode that got serious (iWanna Stay with Spencer, iChristmas, iHatch Chicks) it was always dramatic. They didn't dumb down the humour and go like, "oh no, a chick died" "I don't care, I'm a celebrity now" or something stupid like that. And in Hannah Montana, I agree, Miley is completely spoiled in that show now. Carly is still the same after one year. A year after Hannah Montana, she just got bad.
