Hannah Montana is one of Disney Channel's hottest tween series and now all 26 first-season episodes are together in one four-disc set that's sure to be watched again and again. The season begins with Miley's first few weeks in Malibu and the story of how friends Lilly and Oliver learn of her secret identity as Hannah Montana. Who could forget Cody Linley as the zombie-slayer and the
That's so Suite Life of Hannah Montana episode that begins with a stay at the Tipton hotel and ends with Robbie Ray restarting his career and leaving Roxy watching over Jackson and Miley? Other first-season events include an
American Idol spoof in which Amber's lack of singing talent is exposed, a disturbing visit from Hannah's deranged cousin Luanne, and Miley's inadvisable crush on the Hannah Montana-hating 9th grader Josh. Throughout the season, Miley struggles to keep her alter-identity a secret, juggle the demands of her dual life, have a meaningful relationship with a boy, and somehow coexist with her brother Jackson while constantly growing and learning about the importance of friendship, being yourself, and doing what's right. Guest stars abound in this first season and include Dolly Parton, Corbin Bleu, Cody Linley, and Ashley Tisdale. Bonus features include a 7-minute walk through the Cyrus family farm with Miley and Robbie Ray and the first episode of the 2008
Disney Channel Games. The "Hannah's Highlights" feature is simply an indication of Hannah's favorite episode from each disc.
Hannah Montana: The Complete First Season is the perfect gift for Hannah Montana fans, but be forewarned: watching all 26 episodes back-to-back leads to calling your Grandma "Mamaw" and waxing on about how "Being a teenager is harder than walking through a balloon shop with a porcupine purse." (Ages 7 and older)

Within weeks of the release of the wondrous Walt Disney Treasure DVD set, "The Mickey Mouse Club Presents Annette," here we have her far more opulent descendant of teen stardom, "Hannah Montana" in its first full-season collection.
It's not like you can't turn on Disney Channel and see a multitude of "Hannah" shows at will, but they tend to be clustered without sequence, so it's a different experience to see each show one after the other without promos and other network clutter that even clogs the occasional series marathon.
Like "The Monkees," when the furor fades and the songs fall from the charts, the show itself is left to stand on its own. While no one pretends this is "30 Rock" or "Frasier," the "Hannah" series is a capable effort, with Miley Cyrus carrying virtually every scene with timing and confidence that develops somewhat over the episodes. What also becomes clear is the comic frenzy of Jason Earles as her brother, Jackson. Earles is actually older than he looks and his skill really comes through in the polished slapstick.
Each episode's title is a wordplay of some musical reference ("Miley Get Your Gun," "Good Golly, Miss Dolly," etc.). The first few shows, which set up the premise, don't get as much airplay and are interesting to watch because, as in many early series episodes, the characters are not developed and the cast is getting used to the material and each other. It would have been nice to have some audio commentary by this highly accessible cast. Instead there are episodes with a few inserted comments from Miley culled from other interviews called "Hannah's Highlights."
The Disney Channel Games kickoff episode and a vignette with Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus on their home turf round out the extras. The "Games" segment would be almost sure to be a fun thing for kids to watch a decade from now to see which stars they can remember and what a big deal it all seemed to be at the time.
It would be nice to see more of the Disney Channel shows get this kind of treatment, especially the very entertaining "Corey in the House," which is now out of production.
