iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1

The Show

As far as kid’s shows go iCarly is pretty darn good. My kids and I are huge Drake & Josh fans, so when that show’s Miranda Cosgrove got her own show we parked ourselves in front of the boob-tube to check it out. Needless to say we all became instant fans of the show. Since the first season (read my review of season one here) iCarly, the show has only gotten better, so when Season 2, Volume 1 showed up in the mail box I was pretty stoked. I yelled out to my kids to tell them that I had the new iCarly set and that we’d be parking in front of the tube with some snacks to watch it.

Our excitement wasn’t premature, because iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 was even better than the first season. I don’t get to watch the show during it’s regular airing so watching it on DVD is always a treat, and my kids, even though they see it on television they enjoyed watching the episodes again.

As always Jerry Trainor steals almost every scene he’s in, and Jennette McCurdy is stellar as Sam. I’m not putting down the rest of the cast, because Miranda Cosgrove is wonderful at the titular character and Nathan Kress is just as perfect as the nerdy Freddie Benson. In fact for a children’s show the cast is pretty impressive, turning in solid performances episode after episode.

While I enjoyed the entire set there were some standouts. iOwe You has Sam working a job she hates in order to pay back money she owes Carly and Freddie. iKiss was my by far my favorite episode of the bunch. When Sam tells the world that Freddie has never kissed a girl during iCarly she is forced to admit one of her own faults.

I watch a lot of movies, and loads and loads of television. So it’s refreshing to be able to enjoy a show with my children. iCarly is not only an intelligent children’s comedy, it’s an intelligent children’s comedy that doesn’t close the door on the adult demographic. If, like me your a parent that enjoys watching the tube with your children, then I’d recommend watching iCarly, because it is positively a killer film.

The DVDs

Audio/Video

The audio on the disc is pretty good, nothing awesome but still decent. The video is pretty crisp with really nice color, although interlacing is visible a few times. Overall I was happy with the quality of this presentation.

Special Features

The Making of “iGo to Japan”: Gives fans of the show a look at what it was like to make the iGo to Japan episode. It was a little short, but it was still fun.

Behind-the-Scenes: These short features didn’t hold the interest of my children. While I enjoyed them my kids weren’t captivated by these features.
