    call me crazy but i love this show

    technically, at 17, i think i'm outside the range of ages in the target audience for 'kenan and kel'... some of the humor, i'm told, is more suited for, say, a nine year old. but do i laugh? indeed i do. and perhaps too hard. but honestly for what it's worth, kenan and kel are the best stress reliever i have found.

    i'm not saying they are fabulous actors, but i promise this show entertain you more than anything involving the olsen

    This was a great show.

    I liked this show. It was really funny, and the characters were quite memorable. Kenan usually got himself and Kel into the situations they got into in each episode, and Kel was pulling off his idiot role: a kid who LOOOOVED orange soda (which i think was pretty cool, and funny!), and acted like a moron. I laughed every time Kenan's dad said "KENAN" in that deep voice. Kenan and Kel is a great show through, and through.

    Nickelodeon's last good series

    Yes. This was Nickelodeon's last actually watchable show. Well, aside from SpongeBob which I hated at first but actually liked once I got a job at a Toy Store.

    Either way, this show had so many great moments. It was ALWAYS entertaining and until Nick decided to go all "Extreme" and start canceling the good shows and putting nothing but pureed s**t on the air, I would watch this every Saturday Night during "Snick". Is "Snick" even still on? Not that it matters. I'm 23 now and I still get a kick out of Kenan and Kel.

    The convenience store owner (Who also starred in Head of the Class in 1986-1991) was one of the best characters. Always having problems.

    Kenan's sisters crush on Kel was perfect.

    Kel's love of Orange Soda and his tendency to always piss Kenan's Dad off in every episode was perfect.

    Kenan's schemes were golden. And at the end when he would come up with another plan and tell Kel to grab "A Tricycle, a Bowling Ball and a tube of glue and meet me at the Resivoir." or stuff like that I would always crack up.

    Now. The Amanda Show. God that is horrible. Sometimes I wish they would cancel Nickelodeon. If only you could cancel a TV Network. It had a good run. Now it's time to pack up and leave.

    Same with the Disney Channel. It was good until it became all Extreme and hip. And when they added commercials.

    That Ole Slapstick Does It Every Time

    This show is genuinely funny.There are a whole load of similar American kids TV shows but where this one scores is that it goes for laughs all the time. Other shows sometimes have serious episodes and moralise from time to time but Kenan & Kel go for laughs from start to finish in each episode.The character of Kel is probably the most dumb in TV history but he is the constant source of laughs in this show.Kenan is his long-suffering friend who usually tries to clear up the messes that Kel creates.However,Kenan usually makes things worse etc.Basically, the show appeals to kids but Kenan & Kel is good fun TV for folks of all ages.

    Kenan And Kel: The long dusty road to comedy

    I believe that the 4 seasons did Nick a lot of good. I will never forget the movie "Two Heads Are Better Than None". It was single handedly the best made for TV movie - ever! I grew up with Kenan and Kel, both on "Kenan and Kel" and on "All That", which I might say has all but gone down the drain (the reason why I say this is because Josh and Lori Beth are now writers for the tenth season of All That - or so rumor has it.) Back to my comment, Kenan and Kel shaped the picture of comedy that we all get when we think of Nick or even kid's shows in general. In a word, Kenan and Kel are...what am I saying! There isn't a word or more than one for that reason that can describe the show. The closest I can come to is Wicked-Awesome.

    Come back to us Kenan and Kel!
