Meet The View…Ambassador!
February 19th, 2010
Yes! You heard right. I am officially an ambassador to The View. If you aren’t a regular viewer of The View you are missing out. You never know what or who you are going to see and it is always exciting! I love the dynamic of the show. Basically, The View is ABC Daytime’s morning chatfest, featuring a team of dynamic women of different ages, experiences and backgrounds discussing the most exciting events of the day.
The View features ABC News correspondent Barbara Walters — who appears on average three days a week - moderator Whoopi Goldberg, comedian Joy Behar, actress/comedian Sherri Shepherd and designer and former Survivor: The Australian Outback participant Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The View consists of hot topics in the news, the best experts in their field, celebrity interviews and general entertainment.
I have been a regular viewer of the show for several years now and was so excited to have the opportunity to be an Ambassador! Basically that means you will get to hear some of the exciting things going on at The View directly from me…such as the fact that Mom Central currently has a sweepstakes running on their website where one lucky winner will be randomly selected to receive a trip to New York City to watch a taping of The View! The sweepstakes is open until February 28th so make sure you enter TODAY!
And, I can give you a Sneak Peak! On Monday’s show, Senator Evan Bayth of Indiana will talk exclusively to the hosts of “The View” in his first and only network television appearance since announcing he won’t run for re-election in 2010. This will happen Live Monday, February 22 on ABC. This should be an interesting interview!
You can follow along with all of the happenings from me as well as other The View Abassadors on Twitter by following the hashtag #theviewmoms and you can follow The View on Twitter. You can also become a fan of the show on Facebook.

iCarly
September 5th, 2009
In case you have never seen it, iCarly is a TV series about 3 teenagers who make a web-show. They do it on their own without any adult assistance. They use technology like green screens, video camera, a sound effect machine and computers. There are no rules when it comes to their web-show titled “iCarly”. Every web-show focuses on something new and they try their best to do funny and outrageous things to attract more viewers. Sometimes landing themselves in a mess. iCarly has grown into TV’s No. 1 series among kids (ages 2 to 11) and tweens (ages 9 to 14), drawing an average 5.6 total million viewers to new episodes. So how did Carly do it? She’s got the Web working with her instead of against her.
By design, “iCarly” is the only kids’ show plugged seamlessly into the online world, a playing field populated by blurbs of random, often outrageous comedy. Series creator Dan Schneider has been savvy enough to plot the “iCarly” Web segments as randomly as any teen would their YouTube channel.
During the show-within-a-show webcasts, which the characters film in Carly’s attic, Carly and her friend Sam (Jennette McCurdy) demonstrate making chicken soup in a toilet. They create trailers spoofing teen movies (you can actually find “Kelly Cooper, Terrible Movie” making the rounds on YouTube). They morph Carly’s head on to a picture of Sam’s rabid cat. They improvise short sketches with names like “The Cowboy With a Mustache and the Idiot Farm Girl Who Thought the Mustache Was a Squirrel.”And, iCarly also has it’s own real website where you can read blogs, see photos, play games, send in your own videos and watch bonus videos that are not on the TV show.
iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 (Nickelodeon)
In Stores: 8/18/09
Carly, Sam and Freddie keep the camera and the laughs rolling in an all new season of Nickelodeon’s hit show-within-a-show — iCarly: Season 2, Volume 1 on DVD. Starring tween sensation Miranda Cosgrove, the latest installment of the groundbreaking series finds Carly and Sam vying for the same guy, iCarly’s first web award nomination and the kiss that shocked the world - all while crankin’ out the best web show out there on iCarly.com! Created by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, iCarly Season 2, Volume 1 will be available August 18, 2009, for the suggested retail price of $26.99.
iCarly Season 1, Volume 2 features 12 new-to-DVD episodes, along with the making of the first iCarly TV movie “iGo To Japan” and behind-the-scenes extras. The set also includes an exclusive CD single featuring a song from Miranda Cosgrove’s new album hitting stores later this year.
I have to say…We all LOVE iCarly. And have since the first time that we saw it. iCarly is just a great show that is funny, yet wholesome…a great all around show that even as an adult I like, but the kids love…and in this house, that is rare to find.
We have already watched these DVD’s over and over again. Call us addicted, but you can bet that at least once a day iCarly:Season 2, Vol.1 will be on and kids will be laughing. Thanks Nickelodeon for such a great show!
