unfabulous was my favorite show growing up (when they actually played it on nick) but amazon seems to never re-stock it, so i speak for many people when i say, PLEASE RE-STOCK AMAZON! thank you

We don't get this program in Canada but I read the premise of the show and felt it would be a good choice for my 9 yr old daughter. It is now her favorite show! I hope there will be a season 3 soon.

ok this isn't exactly a review, but this show was one of my favorites growing up. It was so relatable and it makes me miss the old nickelodeon shows so much. I was going to purchase seasons ONE and TWO. because i knew season three was unavailable already. but it is out of stock. If these are burn on demands I highly suggest you bring them back, and dont take so long like you did with rugrats seasons 3 and forward. I would love to give you my money and buy all three seasons of unfabulous but that isnt possible. so please restock unfabulous season one and two, and add season three. please. All of the other out of stock things have been out of stock for a while such as the wild thornberrys. Thankyou for your time. Please consider my thoughts. I would most definitely rate this product five stars if I had the opportunity to own it because it is simply so fabulous.

My daughter was very happy. It came quickly, too. She loved this program when it was on tv and was very pleased to get it on DVD.

I had always known Emma Robberts as the girl who is vaguely similar to Jamie Lynn Spears. In terms of age and career I mean. I never watched her shows though, but I did watch Jamie Lynn's 'Zoey 101'.

After watching 'Wild Child', I started to want to know more about Emma Roberts because of her great acting skills and her voice. So I looked up in her filming history and started watching 'Unfabulous'. And she surprises me with her really good singing voice and acting. Honestly, I think Nickelodeon kids havebad singing voices. But Emma Roberts, she is actually good.

My comment on season 1 mostly tried to relate to technical aspects. This is part of a collection made on DVD -R, said to be incompatible with some players, it seemed sense to write of my experiences.

Season 2 following on from season 1 and giving the last part of their grade 7 experience. The actors are all more experienced, the scripts feel more secure. I can like season 2 more than season 1. Wow, her singing even improves a bit, though I could find it interesting as it was in season 1.

The very last episode, start of summer holidays, is wide screen letterboxed in 4x3. As a minus it has fewer really good bits, my view.

At first I thought that my third disk had a flaw and Amazon did send me a replacement, but now it seems to be a flaw that is there intentionally. Episode 2-13, Last Day Of 7th Grade, Addie is singing a song about her love, then after the scene setting first part of the song there is what is a very realistic DVD flaw that masks out the middle bit of the song. Sense seemed to be to try to get a DVD that includes the middle part of the song but that now seems to be nonsense.

Soon the action is centred on the last day before the summer holidays. She messes up badly, chickens out and does not declare her interest. Her intended actions have been blotted out. The next episode as a lot of work to try to undo the damage, Addie hoping for another chance at Jake.

Such a deliberate flaw is not so uncommon these days, but when it gets a disk purchaser hoping to get an unflawed replacement disk then I hope that Amazon might consider getting a bit of wording put onto the disk and in the menu, that there is a short flaw in that episode. So, with wording like that would some wannabe customers be hoping for a price reduction? This is a not uncommon scripting technique and this shows that there are problems that stem from that technique.

Further, What happened to Addie is a real world thing, the underclasses tend to get knocked into near permanent big babyhood due to that sort of thing? In TV series, Zoey and the rest of that cast have blatant lingering trouble from that? I found season 4 of Zoey interesting.

What to me is a bigger difficulty. Trying to obtain season 3 of Zoey 101. The customer comments show that some have had difficulties in obtaining these from Europe. Me too. I note that this item tends to be listed as In Stock but with me it never gets around to actually being sent.

My guess is that this relates to civil rights re goods and services not always being seen to be valid for those who do not pass the test. I was rather surprised that many disks that I have ordered via such as Amazon UK have actually arrived. With an episode of Zoey season 3 having been included with the NTSC season 1 set, Quinn inventing a plague, I know that there are some really nice bits to season 3. Actual access is a problem. I would assume that many will not be affected by this, that those who are know of this sort of thing from previous experiences.

With the deal struck between Nickelodeon and Amazon, we finnaly have various titles being released that I thought we would never see. Thank you Amazon! Now if only you could strike the same deal with Buena Vista Home Entertainment and get titles like X-Men, Spiderman, MMPR, and Digimon in Region 1 boxsets. I would gladly pay my hard earned money for titles like that.
