Trivia
As Melissa Joan Hart never had time to attend school functions like a normal teenager, the cast and crew of the show held a personal graduation ceremony for her. She was given a diploma for 'Nickelodeon High School', named valedictorian of one and voted "most likely to have her own series".

Quotes
[repeated line]
Clarissa Darling: [a thunking sound is heard, and a ladder appears at Clarissa's window] Hi, Sam!
[Sam climbs the ladder, and the sound of a bluesy guitar strumming a chord is heard]

Crazy credits
After the end credits, we see the view of Nickelodeon Studios with the announcement "Clarissa Explains It All was taped at Nickelodeon Studios, at Universal Studios and Orlando, Florida".

A GOOD Nick REAL LIFE Show

Of all Nicks real life TV shows this has got to be the best. After this show Nick lost it's touch with real life TV shows (i.e. All That-new ones- The Amanda Show...). For now, Nick should just stick to making cartoon because none of their real life TV shows have hit it off. Clarissa was one of my favorite TV shows and that will never change, it dealt with real problems, had good plots, good acting, what more can you ask for in a kid's TV show.

I give this show a 10/10!
