All That

First off, I've read too many complaints about All That, and how lame it is, now that we've "grown up." GET A LIFE. If you want lame, watch the new All That. You'll be crying for something serious in about a minute, I promise you.

I don't know. Maybe I haven't grown up, or you all grew up too much, too fast. I would give just about anything to have all of the All That episodes on DVD, to watch them again and again, because I grew up with those guys, and it brings back very fond memories of my childhood, something that I don't often "click into." All That was real comedy, something that also is pretty rare around here these days.

To any of my All That guys that are reading this: I miss you.

Where have the good times gone, with the fear of getting in trouble with the FCC or (gasp) getting in trouble with the parents of the young viewers, has led to a very dumbed down version on what used to be a great sketch comedy show. Be warned this is just a long overdrawn complaint. When I was a kid this show was classic, It made us kids feel like we had a show just like SNL, and it was funny. Now, we have fear factor like antics, no talent actresses that seem to ride the coat tails of their older sister, and no imitations, what happened to kids imitating their older actor counterparts. Much like new SNL, new All That has gone down the crapper, metaphorically speaking, Nick needs to bring back their classic shows for their younger viewers, soon.

When I first saw this show on my aunt & uncle's Cable TV system, I wondered, "Who are these kids, and what is this show besides the funniest variety show this side of Saturday Night Live?" Now I watch it any chance I can get. Some of the funniest skits include "Vital Information," with Lori Beth Denberg(...and now Danny Tamberelli), and "Ask Ashley," starring the seemingly irrepressible Amanda Bynes, a young girl so outrageously hilarious, she HAD to get spun off on her own show. In fact, if Lorne Michaels wants to bring SNL out of it's slump, he should hire her as a guest host. I'm serious. She's that good.

Improvisational comedy for kids didn't begin with this show, nor is it likely to end with it, but in the history of variety television, "All That" should stand out, as a landmark show, due to it's ability to make kids and adults chuckle, and achieve a level of success that shows like "Flip" (1988) and "Way Cool" (1991) could never have had.

This show used to be really good when it first started out. Now, it's just getting old. The cast isn't good anymore, except for Keanan and Kell but even they are starting to lose their appeal. I don't know, in my opinion Nick just doesn't have the same quality it used to have ever since the evil and terrible Herb Scannel became president of Nick. I miss my old shows like Space Cases and Roundhouse, they were way better!! Bring back the classics, Herb (if your reading this)!!!!

the new show is pure CRAP! when i was 4 (all that started) i didn't understand half of the stuff but it was my favorite show. Lori in the library was SO funny, and i didn't really get what Pierre es cargo was supposed to mean, but now i luv it! they should stop showing all that completely if they cant get funny people on there. the ONLY person i like now is Ryan Coleman and thats only because hes hot. i loved every single old cast member on the old show (i wish more than anything they would at least show reruns instead of this bull crap) especially Lori, Amanda, kel, kenan, Danny, and josh. i don't see how this show is even allowed to be on TV nowadays cause it totally SUKS!
