iCarly: The Complete 4th Season DVD Review

Just like most of you, I’m having a very busy summer…and it only just started! There has been so much going on that I’ve barely turned on my TV for months. At this point I have no idea what’s going on in my favorite shows and I think my DVR is about to explode! One of the shows I’ve missed is iCarly. I caught the first few episodes of the last season during the Sam/Freddie storyline, but things started getting so hectic that I didn’t have time to watch it and forgot to set it to record…so I have no idea what’s been happening. Yes, I’m pushing 30 and lamenting that I forgot to record iCarly. 😉 What can I say, my life is so serious most of the time that I appreciate a little lighthearted escapism! Luckily, the complete 4th season has just been released on DVD, so now I can get caught up on everything I missed. Here’s an overview of what you can find on the DVD:
