In the pilot episode of the series, Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) is accused of photodocking Ms. Francine Briggs' (Mindy Sterling) head onto the body of a rhinoceros even though her best friend, Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy), did it. Because of this, they are forced to be the judges of the school talent show auditions. Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress), who has a crush on Carly but is enemies with Sam, brings his tech equipment to videotape the auditions. They eventually finish the auditions and pick which ones they want to be in it. Ms. Briggs rejects them all, inspiring them to make their own webshow titled iCarly.

In an attempt to attract more viewers, Freddie and Spencer (Jerry Trainor) (Carly's older brother), and Carly and Sam, both compete to see who can draw more viewers to iCarly (with the loser having to touch Lewbert's wart as a punishment). Carly and Sam make a sign to hold up outside the window of the studios for Seattle Beat, but a rainfall ruins the sign. Freddie and Spencer build an electronic sign to put up on a freeway, but the sign eventually malfunctions live on-the-air, going from saying "PLEASE GO ONLINE TO iCARLY.COM" to only the letters spelling out "PEE ON CARL" (much to the ire of a police officer named Carl). However, the mistakes still end up drawing more viewers and nobody touches Lewbert's wart.

On Halloween, Carly does a special webcast in apartment 13B, a supposedly haunted apartment. Numerous spooky things happen; lights fail, "blood" appears, objects fall and break, etc., and of course the apartment owners return early. The apartment was later known to be an old apartment as the iCarly crew find that the doorman, Lewbert (Jeremy Rowley), had purposely gave them wrong information. Meanwhile, Spencer forgets to buy Halloween candy, and angry kids gang up on him, causing him to be stuck in an oversized pumpkin and rolled into the streets.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie want to break a world record for the longest webcast, which has to be longer than 24 hours and 8 minutes. Meanwhile, Spencer builds a sculpture out of all the trash stored in crates. Unfortunately, when Spencer powers-on his sculpture, the power goes out, and they don't get to break a world record. But Spencer does, because of his kinetic sculpture that has the most moving parts in the world. Feeling bad, he asks Carly, Sam and Freddie to attach the last part onto his sculpture, including them in the record so they can get their picture in the book, and Sam gets to meet one of her favorite record holders, the world's fattest priest.

Carly is extremely excited when the popular shoe company, Daka, wants to promote their new shoe, the "Techfoot", on iCarly. But when the shoes turn out to have numerous problems they squeak really bad, the shoes wi-fi crashes Freddie's hardrive on his laptop, Carly steps in a puddle and the shoes shock her, and when she throws them away they explode, iCarly begins losing viewers after the viewers blame them for swindling and blackmail them for their refund. Carly, Sam, and Freddie must figure out how to end the deal with the corrupt Daka without legal action against them. Meanwhile, Spencer tries new methods of transportation after falling asleep on a bus and ending up in Canada. Luckily, Spencer manages to help Carly and her friends get out of the contract by putting his three days of law school lessons to work, exploiting a loophole, which forces the Daka executives to cancel the deal and reimburse them they try to write a check for them for $30,000 but Carly wants plain old cash instead, Daka has to give full refunds to the people who bought the shoe and if they don't they get sued, and Carly uses the money to buy Spencer a motorcycle as a reward so that he doesn't have to ride the bus again.

Carly, Sam, and Freddie are planning on presenting iCarly's 50th webshow spectacular, but Sam accidentally hits Mr. Howard (David St. James) with a football and gets detention on the same day they were preparing to air the show. As a result, they decide to do iCarly in detention. Carly manages to get into detention, but Freddie can't, so he decides to do filming of iCarly secretly, hiding in a closet. Unfortunately, Mr. Howard comes into the room and sees them filming after saying bad things about the principal. Principal Franklin, having watched iCarly, shows up to send Mr. Howard to his office. All the kids are sent out of dentention. Spencer's sculpture for this episode is a gigantic coffee cup that he drops his cell phone in, forcing him to make repeated dives to find it.

A big time producer offers to make iCarly into a hit TV show after seeing how much his daughter loves watching their web show. At first it is great because Carly, Sam and Freddie get paid, ride in a limo and get a new band. After the first rehearsal, they regret letting the producer make iCarly into a TV show, because the producer changes the show and destroys it. The producer gets rid of the iCarly band to fit in Zeebo the dinosaur, Sam is fired for being pushy and aggressive and is replaced by an untalented "princess" of a movie actress, Amber Tate, and the producer makes Freddie do janitorial work. Meanwhile, with the kids at the TV studio, Mrs. Benson and Spencer try to fill the void by acting like a family to each other. In the end, after Carly has had enough of the changes, she tells the producer that the show isn't even iCarly anymore and the producer agrees with her. Carly gets the rights to the title back and changes iCarly back to how it's supposed to be. The producer puts Zeebo the dinosaur and the bad movie actress who replaced Sam into another TV show, which performs terribly. Meanwhile, to celebrate the return of the real iCarly, the lead of the iCarly band performs his favorite song.

In the first iCarly movie the team, along with Spencer and Mrs. Benson, go to Japan when iCarly is nominated for the iWeb Awards.

Their cousins wrap Spencer and Mrs. Benson up in seaweed in a massage room and lock the door while Kyoko and Yuki ditch the trio in the middle of nowhere and flee. Carly, Sam and Freddie must return to Spencer and Mrs. Benson in time for the iWeb Awards.

When Spencer makes an electromagnetic Christmas tree, the tree bursts into flames, which makes Carly furious at him because the fire mauled the presents Carly got for Spencer. Carly then wishes that Spencer was born "normal". Carly's guardian angel, Mitch (Danny Woodburn), makes this wish come true, surprising Carly. The next day, at school, Sam is absent, Freddie was never friends with Carly, and, to make things worse, Nevel Papperman is Carly's boyfriend. Carly questions Mitch about Sam's disappearance, and Carly is taken to the Juvenile Detention Center, where Sam is being held. Carly finds out that Sam was never her friend, either. Carly returns home and then is told that Mrs. Benson and Spencer are now engaged, making Carly angry at what the world has become. Carly then walks up the stairs and finds out that, because Sam and Freddie were never her friends, iCarly never existed, either. Carly begins to sob, realizing how much the world would change if Spencer was born normal. Mitch turns the world back, making Spencer a quirky artist again. Carly is now happy with the electromagnetic Christmas tree, and Carly, Sam, Freddie and Spencer have a good Christmas together in the end.

In retaliation for putting a dead fish in his locker, Freddie handcuffs Sam to Gibby. Later, Sam overhears Freddie make a confession to Carly that he has never had his first "real" kiss. To get back at Freddie, Sam exposes his secret on iCarly. Freddie is then mocked at school about this and stops going, talking to anyone, or going to iCarly rehearsals. Carly makes Sam feel guilty about this, so a regretful Sam exposes the same secret about herself in their webshow. She visits Freddie and apologizes. After they both discuss the unimportance of a first kiss, they decide they should just kiss each other and get it over with, with no other intentions. Meanwhile, Spencer trains to be a famous Seattle Cobras football player, but his laziness of getting fit gets the better of him, even with the help of Gibby.

When iCarly convince their viewers to vote for David Archuleta on America Sings, they cause him to win.

The team decides to get Wade back when they find that his mother wasn't sick. They give him the video (his success is shown in the later episode 'iFix a Popstar') and have David Archuleta on the show, during which they show Wade's selfish behavior. Meanwhile Spencer fails to lie at the rental store, but his honesty convinces them to erase his debt.

When Freddie offends an international internet sensation, Fred, he gets crushed and says to all of his fans that he will not make any more Fred videos. Carly, Sam, and Freddie soon start losing friends and acquaintances that are fans of Fred, and everybody in Ridgeway Jr High hates the iCarly group and Freddie is banned from all clubs. They meet Lucas (Lucas Cruikshank), Fred's creator and portrayer, in his home in Idaho for Freddie to forgive him about the Fred videos comment. Lucas later apologizes because he wasn't really mad, it was so Fred and iCarly had more ratings. At the end they apologize live in the iCarly webshow and presented a new Fred video with Carly, Sam, Freddie and Spencer guest starring as themselves with high-pitched voices like Fred. Meanwhile Spencer puts a Magic Eight Ball-like toy (called a "Magic Meatball") in control of his life, with disastrous results.

Spencer finds out the truth, and goes after the real guys. He confronts them, but is beaten up by Jackson Colt.

Carly has to do a project for green week, so she makes an electric scooter. But, it can only go for 4 miles per hour and it bursts into flames, so she is given the weekend to make a new project.

This turns out to be highly illegal, involving black-market uranium, which gets Cal arrested (though his arrest is not shown). Carly is sentenced to the "Root & Berry Retreat" for extra credit and as punishment for the illegal project and aiding and abetting a known felon. Freddie has to go with Carly, as well, due to him getting a bad grade on the project, as well. However, Sam doesn't have to go on the retreat because she pulled off an unimpressive project.
