"Gibby!" is a spin-off of the hit TV show "iCarly". The pilot was focus of Gibby, that gets in detention after bringing a Weasel to class. There he meet 4 children that are getting bullied by a mean kid, Gibby helps then, and they start to hangout at "The Bixby Rec Center", and there, they also befriend with Flip, an Bixby employee.

Cancelation

After "iCarly" ended in 2012, Dan Schneider, the original creator, had the idea for two spin offs, "Sam & Cat", a series focus in Sam (from iCarly) and Cat (from Victorious) being babysitters in LA. The other one was "Gibby!", a series focus on the silly character of the same name. Both series had their pilots shoot, but Nickelodeon only greenlighted "Sam & Cat", so the "Gibby!" pilot never came out to the public.

Recovering

In the follow years, a couple of images had surface only, like cast photos and the official logo. In 2019, DanWarp Shows shared full script description, and three pages of the script^[1]. But only at 2020, a guy called "LAAAARRRYYYYY PhD", clamed owning the script of the pilot episode^[2], after winning the Nickelodeon Trivia Contest, but he didn't want to share it. So, CINE DOCS start searching for the script, and after posting in the official iCarly subreddit, Baylwhore contact him selling the script, that are 100% matching with the pages posted by DanWarp Show, and the ones from the BTS photos. Baylwhore told that got the script by a friend, that got from one of the Nickelodeon Trivia Contest winners. CINE DOCS since shared the script with the public^[3]. The only ways that we can get the pilot now, is if Nickelodeon officially releases it, or if someone who worked in the pilot leaks it online.
