The original All That from 1995-1998 are the best!

In my opinion, The Original All That from 1995-1998 were the best years for Nickelodeon! It was fresh, original, and most of all is funny! After the replacement of "My Brother and Me" (which was replaced by Roundhouse and lasted for 13 episodes)on the 8:30pm time slot. SNICK decided they needed their third sketch-comedy to come on their scheldule. It was Michael Tolin, Brian Robbins, and Dan Scheidner (Both from Head of the Class)first production they had for Nickelodeon with the launch of their production company Tolin/Robbins Productions.


During those years it was the kind of sketches where you can laugh on whenever is parodies of all comics and shows from time to time and lots of stuff along with the theme song by TLC. It's like the Saturday Night Live for kids and teens! But in a kinder way. It was the time when it became a hit for Nickelodeon!


The Original Cast Members: Angelique Bates, Lori Beth Denburg, Katrina Johnson, Kel Mitchell, Alisa Reyes, Josh Server, and Kenan Thompson. Along with the Bald head Stage Manager Kevin Kopolow.


The Sketches: Superdude, Cooking with Randy and Mandy, Talk with Dr. K, Okrah, Mrs. Piddlin's Class, Good Burger, Cereal Critics, Cheese Police, The Lemonade Stand Girl, The Island Girls, Coach Greeton, Vital Information with Lori Beth Denburg, Repairmanmanmanman! and more.


The Later Cast Members: Amanda Bynes, Danny Tamberelli, Leon Frickerson, and Christy Knowings. With the helping of Zachery Lemore Tricia Dickson in 1997.


Their sketches: Ask Ashley, Star Drek, Whateverr, Fat Cop, Have a good time with Leroy and Fuzz!, and more.


Of course after the show is the musical guests that was from Rap and R&B. But let's not get into this one.


At that point those were the best years of All That with the moving from Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida to the Aquariums Theatre now known as Nickelodeon On Sunset in Hollywood, California. When the show got popular, both Kenan Thoompson and Kel Mitchell became famous as they had their own spin-off called "Kenan & Kel" in 1996 as well as their own movie that inspired the sketch from that show called "Good Burger" in 1997. It was the years when it was fresh and fun and that's how it was cause it was ALL THAT!
