iCarly is a 25 minute
comedy show on Nickelodeon about a bunch of friends who set up an internet
entertainment show. It stars Miranda
Cosgrove (Carly Shay), Jeannette McCurdy (Sam Puckett), Nathan Kress (Freddie
Benson), and Jerry Trainor (Spencer Shay).
In the fifth season of
iCarly, the episode ‘iPear Store, written by Dan Schneider and Jake Farrow and Directed
by David Kendall, shows Carly and her friends at the Pear Store. Freddie has a new job as a store assistant,
while Gibby is buying a new phone cover, and Carly needs her laptop fixed. The Pear Store is a computer product store
similar to Apple. In fact it’s Apple
products they use, with a pear symbol as the logo instead of apple.
In this particular
episode, Freddie looks over Carly’s laptop till she spies a good looking male
assistant and heads on over - with her laptop. From the outset this guy is a
geek, or a nerd, I can never tell the difference. Carly makes polite conversation in a bid to
ask him out, and this is the portion of the conversation that caused me to sit
up and take more notice.
Carly: So....so.... Soooo...
Trey: Yeah?
Carly: You doin' anything tomorrow night?
Trey: There's a Doctor Who marathon on TV.
Carly: Annnnd?
Trey: I'm gonna watch it.
Carly: I wouldn't mind watching some Doctor
Foo.
Trey: Who.
Carly: Me!
Trey: No, I meant Doctor Who.
Carly: I don't know, you brought it up.
Trey: I'm so confused.
The sketch was a remake
of an old Abbott and Costello routine from the 1930’s of ‘Who’s On First?’ which
originally had Abbott and Costello explaining the game of baseball.
The episode ‘iPear
Store’ was broadcast on May 12th, 2012, the year of the Eleventh
Doctor Matt Smith.
