This Disney Channel original TV show (a spin-off from "That's So Raven") is about Cory Baxter (Kyle Massey), the son of White House Chef (Rondell Sheridan). Cory's best buddy is Newt Livingston (Jason Dolley), the Chief Justice's son, and Meena Paroom (Maiara Walsh), the daughter to the Bahavian Ambassador. The 3 teen leads in the cast have great chemistry and work well; my one gripe is that Maiara Walsh just can't seem to get a grasp on her accent; it comes and goes during dialogue, but is most definitely gone whenever she is singing. Can Disney hire a dialect coach for this girl? Minor point, as they all seem to be having lots of fun in this family show that is safe for all to watch together. The episodes on this disc are: "The Presidential Seal," "Through the Roof," "Lip Service," "Peace Love and Misunderstanding" which was unaired. "Peace Love" is probably one of the best ones, as it gives a good lesson in being tolerant of other's beliefs and not making snap judgments based on stereotypes. Saruza Zamuti (Natalie Amenula) is a new love interest of Cory's who turns out to be from a country at odds with Meena's country. Cory finds himself stuck in the middle of the two girls. Kudos to Natalie for doing much better with her accent!

The extra featurette, "Breakin' Down Cory In The House" is really very good (about 12 minutes); it is a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making "Cory in the House," including writing the script, doing the sets, wardrobe, camera angles, editing, stunts, what the cast does when they "hang out," and a taste of what being in the audience during filming is like. Very informative for youngsters not familiar with what goes into putting a sitcom together (hey kids, know what a "table read" is? you will after watching this!). DVD previews of other upcoming Disney movies are also included.

So for children/young teens, you will find this set to be enjoyable.

Clean fun that can be enjoyed by the entire family. It holds the attention of a 2 year old. Don't want to be redundant as the other reviews gave the synopsis of the shoes.

Of all of the Disney Channel "kidcoms," our family is especially fond of Cory in the House. There's something about the premise and the cast that just works well. Also, the young characters are among the kindest and most appealing of the current crop of shows.

This new DVD release, "The Newt & Improved Edition," collects three episodes the showcase the earnest but ditzy Newy (Jason Dolley) plus an episode that premieres on the disc called "Peace Love and Misunderstanding." A short bonus feature also follows the cast through the production of the episode.

Kyle Massey, whose Cory character was spun off from the series, "That's So Raven," deftly handles comedy timing like a vaudeville pro and is well supported by a fine cast that includes the very underrated John D'Aquino as THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He played the most interesting character on the "SeaQuest" series and also played "The guy who never saw Star Wars" on Seinfeld.

Cory in the house keeps my daughter entertained! Seeking to purchase more DVD's and video games of the show.

Overall rating: 5.0

I purchased her two DVD's of Cory in the house and she loves them!!! It's difficult to find DVD's of this show.

Overall rating: 5.0

IF YOU WERE A FAN OF CORY WHEN HE WAS ON "RAVEN", THE YOU PROBALY WOULD LIKE THIS DVD ALSO.

My two year angel loves Corey in the House and this holds his attention. I did not list the shows because the other reviews listed the shows so I did not want to be redundant.

A laugh track with a television show underneath, this spinoff of "That's So Raven" explodes with hoots, howls and hollers about once every eight seconds. But, realistically, it's never really very funny.

As for the four episodes on this DVD, "Never The Dwayne Shall Meet" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Raven-Symoné reprises her role as Cory's sister in "That's So In The House." The other two are "Air Force One Too Many," in which Cory accidentally gives the state of Alaska back to the Russians, and "Just Desserts," in which chaos reigns after Cory and his friends attempt to make pastries for a presidential banquet.

The disc has two short bonus features. The four-minute "Raven in the House" takes you backstage during the filming of the "That's So in the House" with Raven-Symoné. The two-minute "Rock in the House" features... no, not The Rock, but the show's main child stars Kyle Massey, Maiara Walsh and Madison Pettis, who gush about how much fun it was to act with the former wrestler.

As you can probably tell, this DVD just leaves me cold. But still, I guess that for those times when your kids have to watch television, it's better that they be occupied by this harmless, happy yuckfest than whatever they'll run across on cable.
