Nickelodeon's Live Action

It ended right before they got to show Carly's mom too.

In rather coincidentally timed news, the lost pilot for a Gibby spinoff of iCarly has been found and posted on the Internet Archive.

So how many hours will Quinton's iCarly revival video be? 50 hours? 60?

[Daikun]

Depends on how long he'll take to make it. He only ever makes one video per year nowadays.

So, has anybody heard that Ned's Declassified podcast? Because that show is weird, and what I linked is an average topic of discussion for them. I don't think we're ever getting a real Ned sequel if they're being this candid.

Yeah, I think having their reboot idea rejected in favor of the Zoey 101 movie pissed the trio off. It does seem like Paramount+ isn't spending as much money as they were before.

I watched the latest one, and they were talking about their bowel movements for 6 whole minutes. There was a point when they remembered what the podcast was about, but then went off track again by talking about even more times they had sex. And then they randomly give thanks to Dave Filoni.

So are we getting any new details or is it gonna say the same things that every other "THE DARK TRUTH OF DAN SCHNEIDER" video on YouTube uses? Because a point in its favor, it's actually interviewing some Nick actors I haven't heard about in a while instead of featuring the presenter gawking in faux-horror at the same creepy Schneider clips that everyone's seen already.

It's a documentary that will be airing soon on a full-blown TV channel. It's not some small-time YouTube crew, so of course they would have the connections and budget to produce a documentary like this.

I wouldn't exactly consider Investigation Discovery to have any prestige though. Most of what I've seen from them is often cheesy informative murder porn that features all the worst cliches in bad true crime media.

Not sure if Avatar still counts as a Nickelodeon property since it's all on Netflix now, but I'm posting this here anyways.

Was listening to Carmine and Preston on a car ride and was reminded of yet another (of many) reasons that I expect the new live-action Avatar to suck: https://youtu.be/n9rtDP-EZsI?si=tdT43BuF2xKHSAOm

I'm really sick of modern adaptations trying to phase out intentional character flaws without understanding why they exist in storytelling to begin with.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Though I did see a comment from Pakku's actor insisting that his version will still be a chauvinist. Granted, Pakku was never a main character to begin with.

Also wondering what was the dealbreaker that convinced Bryke to leave. I recently heard a rumor it was because they wanted to change the live-action version up even more than what Netflix wanted, which I'm not convinced by since "A Netflix adaptation adhering to the source material so much to the point of alienating the creators" is not a situation I'm familiar with.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Watched the first episode of new ATLA, and the dialogue is frustratingly expository. They replaced the admittedly quippy dialogue from the show with joyless infodumps, reminded me of the dialogue from Man of Steel. There's a scene between Gyatso and Aang that was almost word-for-word a scene between Jonathan and Clark. And then it gets redundant too, like when they give two variations on the "Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony..." speech in a single episode.

Quiet on Set is now streaming on Max.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Why did they bring Marc Summers and then only have him for 10 seconds of footage? Though they were gonna do some big "80 Nick vs Dan-era Nick" thing with him representing the former, but then he just disappears after the first segment.
