Synopsis

The Amanda Show is an American live action sketch comedy and variety show that aired on Nickelodeon from October 16, 1999 to September 21, 2002. It starred Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell, and Nancy Sullivan, along with several performing artists who came and left at different points, such as John Kassir, Raquel Lee, and Josh Peck. The show was a spin-off from All That, in which Bynes had co-starred for several years. The show was unexpectedly cancelled at the end of 2002, according to creator Dan Schneider's blog. Writers for the show included John Hoberg, Steven Molaro, Andrew Hill Newman, and Dan Schneider. Two years after the end of The Amanda Show, Dan Schneider created a new series, called Drake & Josh, featuring Drake Bell, Josh Peck and Nancy Sullivan.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
mr-payton Before I get dissed for watching a show "out of my demographic", I gotta let you know that I watched this when I was still a kid. Even then, it was outright terrible.A lot of the sketches were just lame: the "Hillbilly Moments" (one goofy hick would tell another a knock-knock joke, then hit him upside the head with something mentioned in the punchline), Blockblister (a video store owned by foreigners who would sell poor homemade versions of popular movies), Commercial skits where they would shill stuff like a soft drink sucked out of a sumo wrestler's gut, and Souper Dooper, in which a man and his daughter try to sell nasty fast-food products.I'm sure some of these sound okay on paper, but I guess there was a failure to communicate backstage, because they didn't turn out that way. Too many of the sketches didn't even have any real jokes--only some stuff that was just...there.The only cool sketches were Tony Pajamas, about a high-school age mob boss, and Moody's Point, a satire of teen dramas like Dawson's Creek.Why do I know so much about it? Eh, it was the only thing on in the afternoon. Plus, I liked All That, so I figured a spin-off would be good TV. I was wrong.
DKosty123 The story of how Amanda Byrnes got this show is amazing. Due to her popularity on ALL THAT, another Nick series, someone decided to make her the 13 year old start of her own show. Of course being on Nick, this appealed mostly to young teens.The thing is, the show actually is a half hour version of the variety format which dominated network television for years. Somehow, Amanda, all of 13 years old, makes it work. There are a variety of guests including some musical guests.Very often the skits are funny. Some of them parody the politics going on while the show ran, & there is a particularly biting episode with a parody of the 2000 election with some sharp slaps at both Al Gore & George Bush. Slapping Bush is easy, but this is one of the few hilariously funny slaps of Gore to be found anyplace.Nick has a run of pretty decent teen talent during the late 1990's & Amanda was one of the better discoveries.
tyranid_slayer My sister started watching this thing on nickelodeon that she had never watched before.The Amanda Show And believe me when i saw this. This show is utter garbage.Obviously Amanda Bynes dosen't relise that the audience is payed to laugh. She seems to like the idea of the "adoring fans" worshipping and bowing down to her feet when quite clearly the audience now she's crap too.The sketches are very very annoying such as: Hillbilly moments, totally kyle, the wrestlebergs and the always annoying "Not a problem!" As if she dosen't understand already that the so called fans are paid to like her she has to make the annoying character penelope.Penelope is meant to be one of the fans that over-obsess. When there's clearly nothing to obsess about The show is very crap but the kids like it (which i don't get) and that what matters.
davies-13 This show is the most horrible, irritating show ever! I didn't think that actors or writers could stoop so low. The acting in this show is terrible, I didn't think that acting could be this bad but I was seriously wrong. The writers must have permanent writers block while writing this show, either that or they let their 2 year old child write it. And what was the creators thinking of! Sketch shows are mostly good, but Nickelodeon need to wake up for crying out loud! Their fan base is depleting rapidly as they still think that Rancid shows like this, their stupid commentary and those gross Nick logo ads they have (you know about bogey's, that kind of stuff) are still cool. My Baby sister is more Mature than Nickelodeon are. what happened to the Classic shows like 'Kenan & Kel' or 'Sabrina: The Teenage Witch'. I warn all of you that if this show comes on to get out a bucket of paint, use a paintbrush to put a bit on a wall...And watch it Dry!
