Carson, TVDVDReviews.com "Loaded with sight gags and pop-culture references...a good show that holds up well, no matter how old you are."  Aaron Bossig, DVD Verdict   Editor's Note In the early 1990s, the children's cable network Nickelodeon produced a spate of television series that were funny, smart, and never pandered to--or insulted the intelligence of--its predominantly pre-teen audience. The girl-powered comedy CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL was one of the most beloved Nick offerings, deftly capturing the pre-teen zeitgeist of the early '90s with charm to burn. Melissa Joan Hart (SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH) shot to fame as the series' spunky teenage heroine Clarissa Darling, who maneuvered through the mini-dramas of adolescence and the zaniness of her unconventional family--especially annoying younger brother Ferguson (Jason Zimbler)--with problem-solving savvy, a frequent demolition of the fourth wall, and impeccable '90s fashion sense. Sure to appease the nostalgia of Generation Y, CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL is resurrected in this collection of all 13 episodes from the series' debut season.   Features Audio: English Dolby Digital Stereo Cribs Segment - Melissa's Apartment Interactive Menus Nick Time Capsule Scene Selection   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Paramount Release Date: 3/28/2006 Running Time: 328 minutes Original Release Date: 1991 Catalog ID: 885584 UPC: 00097368855847 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English Video: Color Aspect Ratio Standard  1.33:1 [4:3]   Cast & Crew Melissa Joan Hart Elizabeth Hess Jason Zimbler Joe O'Connor Alan Goodman - Producer Albie Hecht - Executive Producer Byron Taylor - Production Designer David Ellis - Art Director Ken Frankel, et. al. - Director Mitchell Kriegman, et. al. - Writer Richard A.

This show was my favorite when I was a kid. I've been waiting for at least seven years for Nick to release this on dvd. At first I was disappointed that they didn't have the original opening. But they did - on the last episode of disc 2. It made my day. And it's still funny after all these years.
