DVD Reviews of iCarly: Season 1, Vol. 1DVD Review: great tween show Summary: 5 StarsI got this for my 10 yr old daughter. She loves iCarly and wants to collect the dvd's. This one is nice since it has the very start of iCarly which isn't often shown on tv anymore. I think this show is great for tweens. It's silly, stupid humor (but I laugh myself when watching it with her, I have to admit).My only issue was one of the movies (which is NOT on this dvd so don't worry) called "idate a bad boy" where it does have Carly kissing her boyfriend, sort of making out. I was surprised they did that because I haven't seen any episodes that "grown up" in content. But then again, Carly on the show is growing up and was 15 and in high school in that movie, so I guess it's addressing what really goes on in high school. It still does not show anything more than kissing though. So at least it does not promote anything further than that, but if you are very strict on what your tween watches, heads up on that iCarly one hour tv movie that airs once in a while on Nick.
Otherwise, I think iCarly is a great show for kids. Some may think it's more for teens rather than tweens but it was generally aimed at the tween audience. My husband and I get a kick out of the show too. (and it's actually good for parents to watch the "idate a bad boy" tv movie with their kids so you can talk about it together afterwards).
Carly's older brother is hilarious. The show features really great actors that all have a really good knack for comedy. I usually am rather strict with things. Never got my daughter Bratz dolls, don't let her watch scary movies or anything rated R even though most of her classmates do. I feel I can give in on iCarly. My daughter will start jr. high school soon and unfortunately I need to prepare her for what can go on at that age and what is not okay for her to do. It is good to watch the shows with your kids so you can talk about it together if anything comes up you think needs addressing. It's a good starter for conversation. And at least iCarly does not get raunchy. It also does not talk about dieting, nose jobs, or any of the issues I have seen on some teen shows which I find really annoying and unnecessary.
It's basically innocent, silly, stupid humor. Making fun of teachers, ya, kids get a kick out of it. As long as you have raised a child who knows to respect their elders in real life, this is comedy and kids know it's fiction. But we all know there can be those teachers you come across in your school years that does have something that they are known throughout the school for....in a humorous way. The show is a comedy, it is meant to be silly and overly exaggerated. If you have raised a smart and respectful child they will understand that. My daughter still is polite and respectful and does not get in any trouble at school.
I also recommend the iCarly cd if your daughter likes the show (and the theme song) and likes Miranda Cosgrove. She has a nice singing voice and there are really good, upbeat songs on the cd. Also my daughter was getting out of the reading habit for a while and I got her the Miranda Cosgrove biography and it got my daughter back interested in reading again which was nice. She was getting too old for picture books but not really into a lot of chapter books with no pictures yet, so it sort of fit a good in between moment for her.

DVD Review: Great video for tweens Summary: 5 StarsSo many videos these days are sort of questionable for the tweens. This age group has outgrown Barbie like films (for the most part) and is still a bit young for the older teen stuff. This show is amazingly interesting even for teens but also very modest and appropriate for the younger kids.
Am ordering the other available DVD's of this series and hope more are forthcoming. It was a refreshing surprise when we viewed it.
DVD Review: Good, safe viewing Summary: 5 StarsLet's get real. None of the men here watch the show for its humor, and it's no surprise that the biggest fans are dads with daughters. I think it's good for them to have an outlet for their urges. Just remember, guys: look, but don't touch! ;)
DVD Review: Fun, Funny and WAY Better Than "Drake & Josh!" Summary: 5 StarsI must admit that I am a little bit of a sitcom fan, but one of them I don't like is "Drake and Josh." "iCarly," on the other hand, is the most funniest, smart, interesting and fun show I've ever seen. When I watch this, I laugh at the jokes whenever there is something about to happen. Mostly, my favorite characters have to be Sam and Spencer. Every single episode in this show never gets old. The gags are a crack up, the writing is fantastic and nothing seems to get in the way of it. "iCarly," I give you five stars!
Description of iCarly: Season 1, Vol. 1In 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.
