iCarly: iSaved Your Life
(Scheduled release June 8, 2010)



If your kids love iCarly they will absolutely love this DVD. Nickelodeon has taken the latest hits from the iCarly series that centers around teenage Carly and her two best friends Freddie and Sam. If you haven’t seen it, it is literally a show within a show as the trio are followed around on and off camera dealing with everday tween problems and adventures. The three friends host their own web show on each episode, and it hosts all kinds of wacky and intense fun that make my kids literally stop what they are doing to watch it every time I turn it on. Not only is it popular with preteens, but surprisingly my younger children find it the most funny. In this directors cut release, they have included two of the shows most popular specials, as well as three additional episodes PLUS behind the scenes footage. The following are included in this latest release:

  • iSaved Your Life – Freddie is injured when he saves Carly from a runaway taco truck. After Freddie’s daring rescue, Carly starts to see Freddie in a different light. Sam tries to warn him that Carly’s feelings are based on guilt and not true love; however, Freddie is happy that the girl of his dreams is finally his girlfriend. Sam is involved in her own risky mission – competing against Spencer in a paintball game called Assassin. Danger lurks around every corner and only one person can be left standing… paint-free.
  • iQuit iCarly – The iCarly gang invites two up-and-coming wacky web comedians, Fleck and Dave, to be guests on their show. When Carly and Sam learn that the guys are entering a web contest for a cash prize, they volunteer to help create an awesome video. Unfortunately, Fleck and Dave have a big blowout which results in Carly and Sam taking sides and putting their own friendship to the test. Their rift makes it increasingly difficult for them to continue doing the web show, leaving Freddie and the rest of their fans to wonder if this is the end of iCarly. Meanwhile, Spencer’s obsession to win a boat pays off and he finds himself the owner of a new speedboat. However, without a place to dock his prize, Spencer is left to captain the boat in the parking lot, much to the dismay of one of his neighbors, who plays for his college’s baseball team – the Pirates.
  • iThink They Kissed — Carly discovers that Sam is actually afraid of something – visiting the dentist. So Carly accompanies Sam to her appointment, and while Sam is under the influence of laughing gas, she accidentally reveals to Carly that she and Freddie shared a secret kiss. Carly is crushed that her best friends have been keeping secrets from her and finally decides to confront them about why they never told her.
  • iTwins — Sam’s twin sister, Melanie, is visiting from boarding school. While they may look alike, they are completely opposite in nature – Melanie likes school, wearing dresses and being polite to people. Freddie believes that Melanie is really Sam in disguise so he asks her out on a date. Even after she says yes, he is still unconvinced that Sam has a twin. Spencer’s nemesis Chuck is back – as a student of Carly’s. When Carly agrees to tutor Chuck, Spencer sets out to convince her of Chuck’s evil ways.
  • iMove Out — First, Freddie’s mom embarrasses him on iCarly by berating him for not eating all of his vegetables, then she comes to school and shows his baby pictures to the other students. Freddie has decided he is tired of his mom treating him like a baby so he moves out. Even though his new pad is less than desirable, Freddie is hoping to prove to his mom that he is a man now. Carly, Sam and Freddie start up a successful pet photography business but quickly find themselves in a feud with a rival pet photo studio.
