The half-hour episode scored a clean sweep among all kid demographics, averaging a 10.9/3.8 million K2-11 (+252%), a 14.9/3.2 million K6-11, (+303%) and a 14.2/3.1 million T9-14 (+344%). "iThink They Kissed" also ranked as basic cable's number-one series telecast for the week with total viewers and the number- two entertainment program overall, behind only MTV's 2009 Video Music Awards. iCarly is the number-one series among kids 2-11 and 6-11 for year to date and ranks as the top kids' show with total viewers on ad-supported cable (source: NMR, Live +7 Day from 12/29/09; Live + Same Day from 8/31/09-9/13/09). Posting triple-digit gains over last year with every kid and total viewer demographic, and against all direct programming competition, "iThink They Kissed" helped fuel a winning week for Nickelodeon.

So Carly accompanies Sam to her appointment, and while Sam is under the influence of laughing gas, she accidentally reveals to Carly that she and Freddie (Nathan Kress) shared a secret kiss. Carly is crushed that her best friends have been keeping secrets from her and finally decides to confront them about why they never told her.

    JOINING FORCES ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVERVIEW COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY JOINING FORCES TO SERVE AND HONOR MILITARY FAMILIES On April 12, 2011, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched Joining Forces to bring Americans together to recognize, honor and serve our nation’s veterans and military families. The initiative focuses on improving employment, education, and wellness of America’s troops, veterans and military families as well as raising awareness about the service, sacrifice, and needs of all who serve our country, both abroad and here at home. In just one year, Americans from communities across America – our businesses, schools, faith groups, non- profit organizations, and neighborhoods – have stepped up with an overwhelming amount of support for these heroes, not just with words, but with real, concrete actions to make a difference in their lives. Working with Joining Forces, these groups have helped thousands of veterans and military spouses find jobs, improved educational opportunities for military children, supported our nation’s wounded warriors and their caregivers, and honored our nation’s fallen and their families whose strength continues to inspire us all. KEY JOINING FORCES ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Through Joining Forces, American businesses have hired more than 50,000 veterans and military spouses, with a pledge to hire at least 160,000 more in the years ahead. More than 1,600 companies have been involved in this effort, including Microsoft, Comcast, Honeywell, Safeway and Sears. Associations of doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers and medical schools have committed to educating their memberships on diagnosing and caring for military families affected by post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries – the invisible wounds of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls' Inclusion Of
    WATCHING TELEVISION WITH FRIENDS: TWEEN GIRLS’ INCLUSION OF TELEVISUAL MATERIAL IN FRIENDSHIP by CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Childhood Studies written under the direction of Daniel Thomas Cook and approved by ______________________________ Daniel T. Cook ______________________________ Anna Beresin ______________________________ Todd Wolfson Camden, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls’ Inclusion of Televisual Material in Friendship By CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER Dissertation Director: Daniel Thomas Cook This qualitative work examines the role of tween live-action television shows in the friendships of four tween girls, providing insight into the use of televisual material in peer interactions. Over the course of one year and with the use of a video camera, I recorded, observed, hung out and watched television with the girls in the informal setting of a friend’s house. I found that friendship informs and filters understandings and use of tween television in daily conversations with friends. Using Erving Goffman’s theory of facework as a starting point, I introduce a new theoretical framework called friendship work to locate, examine, and understand how friendship is enacted on a granular level. Friendship work considers how an individual positions herself for her own needs before acknowledging the needs of her friends, and is concerned with both emotive effort and social impact. Through group television viewings, participation in television themed games, and the creation of webisodes, the girls strengthen, maintain, and diminish previously established bonds.

  • Ibinged Icarly (Season 3)
    Here’s the first thing you arguably need to know about iCarly season 3: it very easily could have been the last season of the show. Not because there was a dip in popularity, far from it, but because at that point in Nickelodeon history, 3-4 seasons was the standard for even the most popular live-action sitcoms. And that made sense, these shows were usually set in a school setting, either Middle School or High School, so three to four years was basically the maximum length they could go on for before people started to ask questions. And furthermore, there was always a short window of time for teen sitcoms to remain marketable, because teenagers, fun fact, eventually become adults who don’t watch Nickelodeon anymore. And because of this, season 3 is packed full of massive event stories which were heavily advertised and tend to focus a lot on character-driven drama. One thing I remember that really pissed me off at the time, was they’d air these commercials for episodes that had some really funny or notable moment, and you’d watch the episode, and it just wouldn’t be there. It always felt so cheap, like were they filming scenes just for the TV trailers? Were they that low? Nowadays the understanding is that the trailers often just used deleted scenes, but I still think it’s a pretty lame thing that they did. Visuals for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQqBqAVlrqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3MWk3mF0TU [The girls screaming about iCarly being canceled and the girls fighting over Freddie as he says “hey look a Freckle” are both deleted scenes] The reason I’m bringing this up, is that while for seasons 1 and 2 I typically caught most of the episodes in re-runs, kind of randomly depending what was on after school, with iCarly season 3, I saw most of these episodes the day they originally aired, and when they came out in the season thus feels important.

  • Nicole Lawrence Thesis
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications SASSY COWS AND MAGICAL JUJU: REPRESENTATIONS OF RACE AND ETHNICITY ON THREE NICKTOONS PROGRAMS A Thesis in Media Studies by Nicole M. Lawrence © 2012 Nicole M. Lawrence Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2012 ii The thesis of Nicole M. Lawrence was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Thesis Adviser Matthew F. Jordan Associate Professor of Communications Michael Elavsky Associate Professor of Communications Marie Hardin Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This thesis critiques programming on the children’s media channel Nicktoons for patterns of racial representation -- including the presence of stereotyping -- in characters. As research has shown that representation of ethnicity may be especially influential to children viewers, and that there are precedents for problematic racial representations in popular media, including children's media, the continued examination of patterns of racial-ethnic group member representation and stereotyping in character depictions has significant implications. Utilizing textual analysis, three Nicktoons’ programs are examined for racialized constructions of characters, including constructions with hegemonic and ethnocentric implications. The thesis argues that three programs, Back at the Barnyard, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Tak and the Power of JuJu problematically construct analogies of African Americans, Asians, and native peoples, respectively. The constructions in these Nicktoons programs typically “other” these groups when contrasted to dominant white culture -- or at least the animated stand-ins for dominant white culture -- and imply cultural hierarchies in which white culture is superior and/or the norm.
