WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
Before
Melissa Joan Hart became a
teenage witch she was a more
typical teenage in the sitcom
Clarissa Explains It All;
Clarissa Darling is the
archetypal teenage girl
detailing aspects of her life to
the viewers at home, her younger
brother Ferguson is a complete
brat, a know it all nerd, whilst
her parents were surprisingly
well balanced, Clarissa's best
friend
was neighbour Sam who had a habit of appearing through Clarissa's
bedroom window after climbing a ladder.
This
2 disc set contains the first 13 episodes (the whole of season one in
fact), despite it being a sitcom Clarissa still has plenty to say about
the "agonies" of being a teen, from boy trouble to sibling
trouble (and there is plenty of that here) to parent trouble Clarissa
covers it with plenty of humour, at times Clarissa seems to be somewhat
smarter than the average teen, quoting Karl Marx and being something of
a computer whizz (nothing now of course every teenager is a whisker away
from world domination with their computer skills) but back in the early
nineties it was quite unusual).
If
you haven't reacquainted yourself with Clarissa for awhile this set
affords the perfect opportunity to do so. Good stuff.
ANY
SPECIAL FEATURES?
There
are a couple of extra segments, the first features a much older Melissa
on MTV Cribs showing off her home and talking about her life (runs for
about 10 minutes), there is also a fun Nick Time Capsule 1991-93 which
offers a set of on air Nick promos dating from the early nineties, a
good idea sure to appeal to complete-ists.
