Review – iCarly: The Complete 3rd Season DVD

I’ve mentioned before that SpongeBob Squarepants is one of my favorite TV shows. I usually turn on Nickelodeon on the weekends so I can watch a little SpongeBob and unwind from the long week. One of the shows that comes on right after SpongeBob is iCarly, so I started seeing bits and pieces of it that way. Sure enough, I ended up becoming an iCarly fan, too! I’m way out of this show’s target tween demographic, but I still get a kick out of it. This sitcom follows the adventures of teenager Carly Shay, who lives with her zany older brother Spencer and hosts a popular web show with her two best friends, Sam and Freddie. The show is humorous and light-hearted, and I’ve come to watch it regularly. And now, fans can own the latest season with the upcoming two-DVD set, iCarly: The Complete 3rd Season, which will be released on August 30th.

Nickelodeon sent me a complimentary advance copy of this release to check out, and I think this DVD is great fun for any fan of the show. I really enjoyed season 3, and this collection includes every episode, from Carly’s bedroom makeover in “iGot A Hot Room” to the season finale that left everyone in suspense, “iOMG”. (Speaking of which, did anyone see the season 4 premiere of “iLost My Mind” yesterday??) This DVD also includes the recent crossover special, “iParty With Victorious”, as well as bonus features. iLove this DVD!
