"I'm a dad with a kinder daughter. I bought her iCarly because it's one of the better tween type sit coms on tv these days.
Nikelodeon made a good choice by giving Miranda Cosgrove her own show. She comes across sweet in this new techy type series which casts her and her friend Sam as the dynamic duo of the iCarly web show. The balance between the girls and Freddie (tech producer of the show) is just right with Carly's older brother Spencer adding more humor to the mix.
This dvd includes 13 episodes of the first season and many of them are fun to watch. Some of the better episodes include iHatch Chicks which has baby chicks running around Carly's aparment. iWanna Stay with Spencer, when Carly is almost taken by her grandfather due to Spencer being irresponisble. iScream on Halloween is another favorite. Also the iwant a World Record was a good idea.
The show works well because it mixes regular sit com camera angels along with first person shots when the girls are doing the web show. It gives the viewer the feeling that they are actually watching a web show.
I have to say that I prefer the way Carly comes across more than the popular Hannah Montanna show. Hannah Montanna tends to be mean spirited in several of her episodes which bugs me sometimes. Miley Cirus has lots of episodes where she is getting revenge or is loosing her temper and blowing up. In iCarly Miranda Cosgrove is more reserved and less spiteful. That role is left to Sam as she picks on Freddie. I would say Carly is similar to how Lizzie Mcgurie was. A good kid who messes up sometimes. She learns from her mistakes or is playing peace keeper between Sam and Freddie.
iCarly is worth the price considering the fact that you are getting 13 episodes. Disney likes to give you 4 or 5 at a time for the same price. Nickelodeon seems to know what a good deal is. Hopefully they keep it that way.
All in all iCarly is a great tween show with a new techy twist. A good buy if you like the show already. A great choice if you want to try it out. My daughter likes it too. THUMBS UP!"
Excellent teen entertainment

"As one reviewer admitted his age, I'll do the same and say I am a 48 year-old father of two teenagers that genuinely believes this is some of the best entertainment on TV right now. Light-hearted and usually very funny humor, no nasty/vulgar language, no sexual innuendo, and disrespect for adults is generally limited to people that deserve it (Miss Briggs, Lewbert, Mr. Howard, etc.) as opposed to adults in general. There is usually a simple but valuable lesson involved and the interplay between the kids seems genuine and not forced in any way. The chemistry of the actors is a superb mix of personalities and each one brings a unique flavor to the show. The feisty interplay between Freddy and Sam with Carly attempting unsuccessfully to be arbitrator is a big part of the charm. Another positive factor is that no two episodes use the same rhetoric. Miranda Cosgrove is a very talented young lady and her future seems bright indeed. It will be interesting to see what season 2 brings. Hopefully they will be able to keep things fresh and moving forward. These episodes will provide a lifetime of valuable entertainment. Buy it!! You will not be disappointed."
A Great Series For Kids
Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 11/24/2008

"Though past episodes air on a regular basis, this is a nice compilation for children who enjoy this fun program that typically delivers a subtle message on doing the right thing when confronting a problem.
Miranda Cosgrove is an outstanding young actress and - make no mistake - the program is built around her, but her co-stars (Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor) are outstanding in their roles. There are few shows that are truly for kids, but this one goes to the head of the class."
