Hey, The iCarly Finale Really Sucked

Why did I watch this?  Why did i DVR it?  Because shut up, that's why, but jesus, the last show of iCarly was really bad.  For such a weird show--and it was very weird to have a teenage girl living in a huge apartment without any parents or any visible income with boys in and out and no appreciable boundries; teenage life is often pretty messy and Carly and Sam would probably have been pretty socially and sexually active in a more realistic show--it seemed odd that the creator didn't have more of a meta-narrative to wrap and didn't come up with a more creative and satisfying ending.  Yes, I understand it was a stupid kid's show filled with goofy, pointless comedy, but some of the aspects of the series were so astoundingly odd that it appeared for a while the Dan Schneider may have been telling a more interesting story, but apparently not.  Add Dan Schnieder to the list of notable TV idiots like Ronald D. Moore, Chris Carter, Rick Berman, JJ Abrahms, Brannon Braga, and Steven Moffat who in the end had nothing to say.  Sure those morons worked in scifi/fantasy, but iCarly was certainly a fantasy show more than anything else; if it had tried for even a smidge of reality, both Carly and Sam would have had discount cards for Planned Parenthood in Seattle and the show would never have worked as children's show and would probably have gotten Schneider dragged on with Nancy Grace if it managed to air on HBO or Showtime.  With suspension of disbelief in full effect, I was expecting to have some of the many loose ends wrapped up.  I thought that maybe the show would end with some real changes for the main characters.  Probably the only way that would have made sense would have been the end of the show coincide with their highschool graduation and with Carly and Freddie and Sam and Spencer ending up together, all of them growing up and moving on with their lives.  Instead, nothing changed and Sam rode off to a short-lived spinoff.  I also thought that the biggest loose end, Carly and Spencer's father, would get wrapped up in some clever way and explain the overarching giant plot question regarding Carly's inexplicable family circumstances, but it didn't happen; at the end he was back doing whatever dumb shit he was doing before.  I also thought that the father would have been played by some bigtime actor, maybe a George Clooney or a John Cusack or a Jon Hamm or a Kyle Gass.  I guess it could have been worse; Paul Giamatti could have played Col. Shay.  In the end, the end of iCarly was lame and pointless and, almost impossibly, made the whole series look less interesting and clever.
