All I can say is just Wow!!! This used to be my favorite show. I see that many old shows are being repeated all over the cable e.g. full house, boy meets world, but the Nick shows are not being repeated. I could only find 4 episodes on videocasttes, which was good, but I wanted the entire show. I actually tried to find people who may have recorded it and were willing to send me a copy over message boards. But anyway, now I at least have the first season. I hope Nick releases the rest of the three seasons.

All I have to say it's about time! This show was my first love (well besides You Can't Do That On Television) I grew up on the old school days of Nickelodeon.
This is a great start to a wonderful Nick collection! This includes two disks and includes episodes: Clarissa's Revenge, School Picture, No T.V., Urge To Drive, Clarissa News Network, Haunted House, The Bully, New Addition, Brain Drain, Clarissa Makes A Cake, Parent's Who Say No, Cool Dad, & Sick Days.
The only reason for 4 stars is I was *extremely* disappointed they didn't have the original credits in the early seasons. The one where she gets out of bed etc. Not to mention the small extra's such as: Melissa Joan Hart on MTV Cribs, & Nick Time Capsule (1991-1993). I hope in the following seasons we see more such as bloopers, interviews, and maybe some commentary or behind the scene's or information on the actors etc.
However, this show is a timeless classic. I've always wanted to have a room, and dress like Clarissa when I was younger and in my teen years. The show has everything: A nice loving family - classy and fun Janet (Elizabeth Hess) and architect Marshall (Joe O'Connor) as Clarissa's loving parents. Ferguson (Jason Zimbler) is Clarissa's annoying and genius little brother. Not to mention Sam (Sean O'Neal), Clarissa's best friend and neighbor.
The show has everything a teen and young girls can relate to. It's light hearted and has some fun educational messages. The chemistry of the cast is wonderful and they all help balance each other out. This is great for either the young adults or the entire family to enjoy.
And most assuredly a favorite classic Nickelodeon show!

To a great series of classic Nick shows. It's very exciting news for people who grew up and loved nick in it's best years.
Lets just hope that they get to Are you Afraid of the Dark, Alex Mack, All That, and Rocko's Modern Life(My favorite show of all time!!!)
The episodes were okay, but I have to give credit because it is the shows first season and it gets better.
I loved the Nick time capsule. I totally remembered most of them(the disco dogs is one)
So yeah, great episodes and great quality.Nickelodeon, keep them coming!!!
Can't wait to buy Pete and Pete!!!

Fun collection of episodes from one of Nickelodeon's best shows. Melissa Joan Hart did an excellent job portraying Clarissa. The show had a wit and irony about it that I loved. Also loved the way Clarissa dressed, her unique fashion sense and how she dealt with all the problems she had as a teenager in a funny way that gave advice at the same time. Theres 2 disks in this set-
Disc One Season One
Episodes
1.Clarissa's Revenge- Ferguson brings Clarissa's training bra to school. Clarissa plots to get revenge with Sam's help.
2.School Picture- Clarissa wants to express herself and her individuality but her mother wants her to dress more conservative or ( dweeby) for picture day.
3.No TV- Mother Janet makes a( no tv for the week ) rule. Rest of family stoops to desperate measures to catch a glimpse of their favorite TV show.
4.Urge To Drive- To earn money to buy a used car clarrisa takes to selling Christmas Cards in July.
5.Clarissa network news- Clarissa wants to be the next Jane Pauley. Mom is having a life crisis.

5.Cool Dad- Clarissa teaches dad how to be ( hip ) for her school's career night.
6.Sick Days- Clarissa dosent want to be in the boring school pageant so she fakes being sick. But when the pageant gets revamped she wants in. Too late, now that she's really ill.

As many have commented before me, I was a huge Clarissa fan. I wanted her cool room, her cool parents, and her bravado to do as she wanted fashion wise. I just wanted to be just like her.
So when I found out that this was coming out on dvd, I can't wait to own future collections of Nick Rewind series.
The package is pretty good. I only own one other t.v show by season (Punky) so i'm not sure if the packaging is standard. Two dvd's in two seperate cases in a less then sturdy box. But hey, you shouldn't just be buying this for the case.. right?
The presentation was great quality, surprisingly. I did not like the forced preview's and tried to get to the main menu, but alas you have to sit though them if you want to get to the episodes. The real gem (aside from the episodes themselves) was the time capsule. I sat my siblings down and made them watch them actually and they couldnt believe that they could remember them.
The MTV cribs was out of place, as someone has said before me. I dont know why they thought we would want to see Melissa Joan Hart go on about her love of Gin and Shirley Temple. It's far removed from Clarissa herself and thus.. not exactly meant to be in this collection.
I'm glad I made this purchase definetly. Please go ahead and order it. The more popular the better chance of future collections!
