Didn't watch it in '95, but wish i had

I never watched All That in 1995, but I really wish I had. Now, i see repeats from the good ol' days with Lori Beth Denberg doing vital information that was usually funny, and i would be graced with the presence of a Goodburger Skit. I loved what they would do with the awkward little bald guy in the beginning. I think his name was Kevin. Can't remember, I was like 5, but i do remember that the skits were very funny, and the material was fresh.

Now, it is nothing but total crap. Then, there was Kenan Thompson, (who can be seen now on SNL because he was funny!!), Kel Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg, then later, Amanda Bynes and Danny tamborelli. Now, I am forced to watch an endless purgatory of Kyle Sullivan, or Jack DeSena being a retarded butthead who is afraid of the color orange.

The skits today are the same thing from 10 years ago, except instead of people who were naturally funny, they are played by annoying kids trying to scream for attention. I think the only reason they hired them is because they would act for minimum wage. The randy Quench moron with the fake Brooklyn accent is just a remake of Kel Mitchell's REPAIRMAN MAN MAN. And what about Christina Kirkman? It's pretty bad when the only reason some one is on TV is because they won a contest.

I may be wrong, but doesn't it seem like they were trying to replace the real performers with people that look and act kind of like them? Kyle Sullivan reminds me a lot of Danny Tamborelli. Jack DeSena reminds me of Josh Server for some reason. It makes me sad to think that a once good show could sink so low. I enjoyed the 100th episode. It was perfect. The Players from the mid 90s and the players from the late 90s went together perfectly. It was a last hurrah for All That.

If you liked All That 10 years ago, turn to SNL. You can see Kenan Thompson, Jason Sudeikis, Tina Fey, Horatio Sanz, and like, 15 other people. And the skits are still fresh, not like the dried out, overused cliché's from All That.

1995 rating: 10/10 2005 rating -2/10. SOMEBODY SAVE THIS SHOW!!!!

score /10
