I wish he would have kept true to the statement that he made awhile ago about not playing Fred for much longer since he thought he was getting too old for it.. because he's absolutely right. It was at least giggle worthy back when he started on youtube, but now that he's older it just looks and feels... awkward, not funny.
He probably could have continued on youtube or even Tv playing a different character with an "older" sense of humor. I mean, whatever though. Kid's making bank so I guess it's working for 'em.
He does have talent and I agree that he needs to do something along the lines of maybe a sitcom or something else. But for him to take up a 30 min slot for something like that- you know that really hurts alot of the actors/voice artists out here.
Particularly with me going on with my series next year, there is a worry that a slot wont be open and im curious as to how long he had to wait before he got his- Because I had to wait 3 years for an answer and even then im not guaranteed the spot.
Mhm, I agree he's wasting talent playing Fred and 30 minutes of Fred is too much. I mean, the whole joke is that he talks fast and high pitched. I saw the episode of iCarly he was on and he was pretty funny playing himself instead of Fred.
I don't think he had to wait much. Nickelodeon just kinda picked up Fred and ran with it.After the 2 movies, featuring him on other shows, and all the merch they're selling, I'm sure it was a no brainer to them to start a show.
EDIT: After all, Nick has a tendency to take movies and turn them into shows -_- Kung Fu Panda, Fred, The Penguins of Madagascar, ect
