    I miss this show! hide « show »

    This show tells the story of Clarissa Darling and how she faces everyday life as a teenager with her mom and dad, little brother Ferguson and her friend, Sam. It stars Mellissa Joan Heart before her "Sabrina" days. This show used to be on Nickalodeon, then, it came 'The N' or 'Noggin'. It was one of my favorite shows growing up. Season One came to DVD from Paramount but sadley, out of the 5 seasons that they made, the first season is the only one that got released. It's really hard to find copies of it. If you see a copy of it, pick it up. Let the 90's live in our hearts...forever.

    Before she was Sabrina, she was Clarissa... hide « show »

    I think the only parts I liked about this show were the little computer simulation games she used to make and the fact that her friend entered her room by climbing up a ladder and coming in through the window. Her brother was a doosh and her parents were like a ripoff from the Brady Bunch.

    An annoying, yet cathy theme song. Not my favorite; the rest is perfect. hide « show »

    It is, I swear.

    It's been a while since I caught CEIA on Nickelodeon, I think I was 9 the last time I watched it there! And now, I'm willing to get the DVD's.

    This was a very original TV Show. You could see the creativity, even on those video games Clarissa made on her computer. We all dreamed on doing that, and magically make text and pictures appear on our life screen.

    Then, have a best friend who could always visit us, and understand why we're annoyed at our siblings, or disappointed 'cause of our parents. I'm pretty sure we've all felt a connection, in at least one thing, with Clarissa. No doubt, haha.

    Great stuff for a 90's. It still looks cool.

    This show is a true classic of Nick. hide « show »

    What happened to Nickelode? It shows used to be so good, like Clarissa Explains it all was amazing. To me Nick is going down hill. I mean shows like "Catscratch", and " THe X's", what were they thinking. I mean even the resent eposiodes of "All That" are horrible. In my opion old Nick shows, like the old All That, Kennen and Kel, and Clarissa Explains it all were the best. Clarissa Explains it all was an awesome sho, and Mick should so show re runs of it. Clarrisa explains it all is one of my all time Nick favorites.

    I absoluetly love this show and I miss it. hide « show »

    I Absolutely Love Clarissa Explains It All!!!!!! I miss this show so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!!!! Clarissa Explains It All was and still is a huge part of the whole tween comedy dramas. This show sort of paved the way for the Unfabulouses and the Zoey 101s. It also paved the way for the Hannah Montanas and That's So Ravens. I dont know why this show was cancelled because it was one of the best show Nick had. The teens now enjoy the OC and One Tree Hill but deep down most of them miss the old Nick shows.

    I Love Clarissa Explains It All!!!!!!!!
