...I don't think it's an exaggeration or projection on my part to surmise the fact that Miranda Cosgrove is so exotically beautiful in addition to being a talented, spirited, and charismatic actress may have had just a lil something to do with the show capturing a sizable adult audience, despite the denial our culture has about the effect that beautiful and amazing tween and teen girls can have viewers of all age groups. And now that Miranda is 18, and the average adult doesn't have to deny noticing how sexy she is, well...who knows.

I'm sure at least a few of these adult fans will publicly acknowledge something like, "I always knew Miranda would be hot once she finally turned 18! In fact, just last year I told one of my friends, 'yanno, Miranda is now 17, and I am willing to bet that next year, after she turns 18, she is gonna be one hot chick!'"
