iCarly is an appealing tween sitcom that marries television with web programming and offers viewers a chance to submit their own content for possible inclusion in future episodes. When Carly gets in trouble at school for posting an unflattering flyer of her teacher, her punishment is to record the school talent show auditions and post them online. As it turns out, Carly is innocent and was just covering for her best friend Sam, who really posted the flyer, so it's only fair that Sam join her in her punishment. Freddie, who has a huge crush on Carly and just happens to be a tech wizard, also decides to join them and help tape the auditions. The somewhat painful experience inspires the three teens to wish for an opportunity to produce their own show and determine their own programming--an idea that soon blossoms into a plan for a weekly web show. Since Carly's dad is stationed overseas in Europe, her 26-year-old brother Spencer, who's a rather unconventional artist and an even flakier authority figure, is in charge and he gives them the go-ahead. Soon the three teens are regularly hanging out in Carly and Spencer's apartment, eating everything in sight, producing their weekly web show, and gawking at whatever unusual sculpture Spencer happens to be working on at the moment. Things are never dull as Carly and her friends work to increase viewership. They pursue a write-up on an influential Internet site run by a very unusual tyrant, broadcast from a haunted apartment on Halloween, pay back a mean teacher by making a fool of her online, and set a world record for the longest continuous webcast. And then there's all the usual high school drama, like figuring out who to date, what to do for a science project, and how to get good grades--by any means. Real teens are invited to share their special talents on icarly.com, and some of the submissions will be included in future iCarly episodes. Like most teens' lives, iCarly is full of energy, humor, and lots of craziness. (Ages 7-13) --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

In the spirit of Wayne's World, Carly and her best friend Samantha "Sam" Puckett turn a boring school assignment into a fun, creative and hilarious web-show. When their friend Freddie accidentally leaks a video of their antics on the web, Carly, and average 13-year-old girl, becomes an unlikely online celebrity. Embracing her popularity, Carly convinces Sam, her co-host and comedic sidekick, and Freddie, their technical producer, to turn "iCarly" into a weekly show where they can finally do and say whatever they want! iCarly is a convergent entertainment experience that unites the TV screen and the web for kids. Throughout the show, Carly will encourage viewers to post their own originally created content relating to the context of each show. Solicited content may become part of a future iCarly episode, or included in Carly's online webcast, making iCarly the first scripted show on all of TV to incorporate original kid-created content.

5.0 out of 5 stars CLICK YOUR MOUSE ON iCarly! October 1, 2008

By P. A Clark

Format:DVD

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars All Around Great Show! October 15, 2009

By Scott Burnham

Format:DVD

I have to admit, I like this show. Which is very strange coming from a 30 year old guy. I used to work for a friend taking care of her kids. So I was stuck most of the time watching kid shows. I come around to really enjoying this show. Although the show is not realistic at all, it's still a fun show. Even though I have moved on to another line of work I still find myself watching this on occasions.
