Anyone can be on television these days. . . .

? Want to be famous? Nickelodeon's "iCarly" might be just the ticket. The new series premieres with two episodes Saturday at 8 p.m. Miranda Cosgrove stars as host of a Webcast that features kids with special talents, ideas and inventions (telling jokes, playing trumpet while jumping on a pogo stick . . . ). The sitcom/talent show has plenty of entertaining moments, but Jennette McCurdy is the most annoying sidekick ever. The show's regular telecasts will be Sunday at 7:30 p.m. For information on submitting a video, go to http://iCarly.com.

? School just started and already high school graduation is approaching in a one-hour "Kim Possible" premiering tonight at 8 on Disney Channel. (If you want more of the teen crime-fighter, tune in anytime between noon today and 6 a.m. Saturday.) . . . Speaking of high school:

Learn the steps of "High School Musical 2" Saturday at 8 p.m. during the dance-along telecast.

? DVD releases available Tuesday include the five-disc, Book 2 collection of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (Book 3 is coming to TV in two weeks) and the third season of the 1980s series "Fraggle Rock."

? Hockey lovers rejoice: NHL '08 and NHL2K8 are available for video game play on Tuesday. Also out: the fun sequel Worms: Open Warfare 2 for Nintendo DS.
