I love this soundtrack to one of the funniest shows on Nick. I originally bought it to hear Mirandas new songs (which r awesome, shes so talented), but I also love the other songs that they added..which are all fun, and remind me of the show. One of my faovrite parts are the speaking parts done by the cast which are sooo funny. Ecveryone should pick this CD up.

I went to this movie reluctantly, mostly because my ten year old talked me into it. I had only seen the trailers and I was expecting an extended version of Spy vs Spy, which I have never really loved. This movie suprised and delighted me. Far from being a sad 3D version of silly one-upmanship, this movie had a lot of heart, and a lovely message.

I especially enjoyed how the main character struggled with the growth he experiences throughout the movie. We get to see him struggling with the difficulty of giving up his old behavior patterns and goals, even though he clearly sees that he could be happier if he let them go. And the difficulty that Groo's only friend has with the changes he experiences as he lets three little girls into his life, and how his friend tries to prevent him from changing, are a great reminder that sometimes when we make positive changes in our lives the people around us aren't always as supportive as they should be.

My son loved the movie too, although not for quite the same reasons I did. He wants a glass floor shark tank for our living room now. I said I'd think about it.

My daughter loves watching iCarly on Nickelodeon. When I told her that we were getting the book, she was ecstatic!

The book is comprised of online access, as well as a full color book.

WEBSITE

The hardcover book contains a stylish iCarly webpass collectible charm with the password to a special section of the iCarly website. There are 5 sections based upon the 4 main characters: Sam, Carly, Freddy, Spencer. There are various games, printable graphics and even a detention slip to print out. The website is well designed without a lot of advertisements, as other children's websites can have. The song in the special section is the same, and repetitive, but my daughter did not mind it. Thankfully, you can toggle the music off.

There is a link to the main website that includes blogs, games, pictures, videos, news and newsletters. There are no chatrooms so this site is safe for children. The appropriate level of children who would appreciate this book and site is 7 years through 12 years. The reading level of the book is about a second grade reading level.

THE BOOK

The book has full color photos and nice graphics. It is more of an 'insider's guide' to the characters and the show, rather than a story or informational book. This book serves as more of a directory of online activities.

SUMMARY

This is a nice addition to a child's activities who has internet access. If you are weary of what is on the internet, this is a safe site. No outside links or annoying popups.

This title is well worth a look.

If you liked the first 2 DVDS, this one will not dissapoint.

Since 2007, "iCarly" has been a popular series for Nickelodeon. The series revolves around Carly Shay (played by Miranda Cosgrove) and her best friend Samantha Puckett (played by Jennette McCurdy) who are the host of their popular web show "iCarly" which is edited and directed by Freddie Benson (played by Nathan Kress). Most of the scenes are shot at the home of Carly, who lives with her older brother and legal guardian, Spencer (played by Jerry Trainor).

Created and executive produced by Dan Schneider (creator of series "Drake & Josh", "Zoey 101', "Kenan & Kel", "All That", "The Amanda Show"), "iCarly" is currently on their third season and on January 18, 2010, an episode titled "iSaved Your Life" became the highest rated live action telecast in Nickelodeon history (with 11.2 million viewers) and the #1 telecast of all TV (cable and broadcast) that night.

Needless to say, the show is a big success for the cable network and now "iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" is planned for release on March 30, 2010.

The latest DVD includes two iCarly movies from the second season and two episodes from the third. Included on "iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" are:

* EPISODE 45 - "iFight Shelby Marx" - In this TV movie, Carly was talking a little trash on her web show about the martial-arts champ Shelby Marx. When Shelby comes to visit her, Carly is afraid that she is going to get beaten up but finds out that Shelby wants to join forces with Carly in a one round match for charity and that she will not hurt her at all. But during the press conference, Carly accidentally falls on Shelby's grandmother offstage and Nevel Papperman takes advantage of the situation and now Shelby wants to hurt her in the ring.
* EPISODE 40 - "iDate a Bad Boy" - In this TV movie, Carly starts dating a bad boy named Griffin who tried to steal Spencer's motorcycle. Spencer prohibits Carly from dating him but she tries to sneak behind his back. Meanwhile, Carly learns a major secret about her Griffin.
* EPISODE 36 - "iLook Alike" - Carly, Sam and Freddie want to interview an MMA fighter Jackson Colt but Freddie's mom forbids him to go to an MMA fight and also Spencer forbids Carly from going as well. So, the three come up with an idea to find lookalikes to stand for them while they do the interview.
* EPISODE 49 - "iCarly Awards" - Carly, Sam and Freddie present the first "iCarly Awards" for fans who have sent in videos but on the day of the Award show, Spencer mistakens Carly's request to create ten awards by creating one huge award. Now, Spencer must find a way to create them in a short amount of time, while Carly and Sam improvise the award show until each award is finished.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

"iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" is presented in standard definition and in full screen. Picture quality is good considering there are two movies, two episodes and a pilot episode of "Big Time Rush" included on the DVD. There is compression artifacting and edge enhancement but for the audience being targeted, I doubt many will be that picky over picture quality.

Audio is presented in English stereo and dialogue and music is clear as it comes from the front channels. Dialogue is understandable and experienced no major problems during viewing.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

"iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" comes with the following special features:

* Behind-the-Scenes Extras:

- Meet Lewbert - (1:44) A featurette with Jeremy Rowley who plays the character of Lewbert the Doorman. Jeremy talks about his character and the makeup.

- Message Board - (2:38) Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor and Jennette McCurdy answer a few fan questions from the [...] message board.

* Pilot Episode of "Big Time Rush" - (47:57) The full pilot episode to Nickelodeon's "Big Time Rush". A series about four guys who become a popular boy band who move to Hollywood.

JUDGMENT CALL:

My young son was a big "Drake & Josh" fan and has since graduated from that series and now enjoys "iCarly".

Many times, I have watched the show along with him and he enjoys the humor of the series and needless to say, he loves the series. Upon reviewing this DVD, I admit I was surprised when I read the back cover and he instantly knew some of the episodes by memory. So, I would assume these have been replayed quite a bit on Nickelodeon.

For "iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx", I feel that this is a solid release for those who are fans of the show (or parents curious about purchasing the series for their kids) when it comes to content. Two movies, two episodes and a bonus pilot episode for "Big Time Rush" is included.

As for the parents who are wondering if the episodes are safe for the children, depending on their age, there is no major violence but there may be some content that parents may not want their younger children to see. The episodes are not rated but I'll point out a few things that may be of concern to some parents who are considering of buying this DVD for younger children.

There are two episodes that deal with martial fighters, in "iFight Shelby Marx", Carly gets a light in the face and in "iLook Alike", a fighter throws Spencer through a table. In two episodes, Carly goes against her brother (legal guardian) when he tells her to stop seeing the bad boy in "iDate a Bad Boy" and finding lookalikes to substitute for them on the "iLook Alike" episode. In the pilot episode of "Big Time Rush", you have four guys singing a song about "turd".

Personally, the series and episodes featured on this DVD are nothing for parents to worry about but if the descriptions of scenes I mentioned above causes concern, especially if you were considering of buying this for a 5-9 year old child, then perhaps parental guidance is suggested.

Overall, "iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" was an entertaining DVD. Again, my young son absolutely loves this show and he enjoyed watching the episodes (again) on DVD. I wouldn't be surprised if other children are feel the same way and seeing how the ratings are pretty strong for "iCarly", many will have interest for this DVD.

Two TV movies, two episodes from "iCarly" and one bonus pilot episode of "Big Time Rush" on one DVD for a great price. If you or if you are a parent of a child who loves "iCarly", "iCarly: iFight Shelby Marx" is a DVD worth checking out.

I like most kinds of music, so after liking the iCarly CD (got for theme song), I decided to try this one. It was actually a lot better than I was expecting. The CD varies a good bit so it isn't just one type of music for all the songs, which is always nice. Kissin U sounds much better off the CD then I did on Nickelodeon for some reason =P While no songs really stand out as "6 Stars", most of them are 5 or 4 Star songs. Either way, it makes a nice playlist on my MP3 player and is currently one of my favored playlists.

I have all the iCarly books so far, and while I do enjoy reading the stories, the folks at Scholastic Books seem to have problems including all the actual lines used in the episodes. I have a couple of the Drake & Josh books as well, and they are shy printing some lines. In the iCarly ones they won't print the word "boobs". In most episodes it doesn't matter, but in the pilot, they comment on a teacher's "...crazy pointy boobs!" and in the book it says "ears". Totally changes the meaning of the lines. I understand why they don't use the written out form of OMG, since they hyper-religious among us would freak out. I just wonder why if it's ok for the audience to hear the actors say the words it isn't ok for the audience to read them. I've e-mailed Scholastic Books about this but was basically ignored. Still, the books are ok as printed episodes and if you understand the missing lines, they're all right! I hope they get their act together for future book releases!

If you liked the first 2 DVDS, this one will not dissapoint.

The latest DVD includes four iCarly episodes and one iCarly TV Movie. Fans of the character Freddie will enjoy these episodes as they deal with how he relates to Carly and Sam (including how he shared a kiss with each girl):

* EPISODE 60 - "iSaved Your Life"- Extended Director's Cut - Freddie saves Carly from being hit by a taco truck and he ends up getting injured. Now Carly falls in love with him but can this cause problems to their friendship?
* EPISODE 58-59 - "iQuit iCarly" - In this TV movie, as Carly and Sam try to help two young competitive aspiring filmmakers who have their own differences, they see themselves within these young filmmakers and sooner or later, both Carly and Sam start to not get along. Can their friendship be repaired?
* EPISODE 51 - "iThink They Kissed" - Carly takes Sam to the dentist for an emergency checkup and while under laughing gas, Sam tells Carly that she kissed Freddie.
* EPISODE 48 - "iTwins" - Carly and Sam are known for pranking Freddie but when Sam's twin sister Melanie (the total opposite of Sam) comes to visit, Freddie thinks Sam is trying to pull a prank by making up a fake story of having a twin sister.
* EPISODE 57 - "iMove Out" - After Freddie's overprotective mom embarrasses him in front of his classmates, Freddie has had enough and moves out of his home.

The episodes are not rated but I'll point out a few things that may be of concern to some parents who are considering of buying this DVD for younger children.

In the episode "iQuit iCarly", there is a scene where both Carly and Sam walk out on a scaffold, out their building window and then trouble comes and Carly is left hanging from the scaffold. Granted, parents should reinforce the fact that children should keep out of windows high above the ground to begin with but that is probably the only thing I can think of that may be problematic for some parents.

And the episodes featured in "iCArly - iSaved Your Life" feature Freddie kissing Carly, having kissed Samantha, etc. So, these are young teenage situations but again, it is up to parents if they mind that or not.

Personally, the series and episodes featured on this DVD are nothing for parents to worry about but if the descriptions of scenes I mentioned above causes concern, especially if you were considering of buying this for a 5-9 year old child, then perhaps parental guidance is suggested.
