The Influential, Everlasting Groundbreaking Power of ‘All That’ -

[White Devil]

The Anamorphs show on Snick probably encouraged a generation of furries.

well they tried... they'll get a pass...

The only thing that was good about All That was Keenan and Kel. Other than that, the skits were hit or miss for me.

"OH BUT THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE IN THERE!"

Yeah, so fucking what?

all inclusive representation and blah blah...

Yep. The thing about that show was the "green slime drop" gimmic was borrowed from that show once Nick started doing their own game shows in Orlando Florida (see Double Dare). and pretty much trademarked it as Nickelodeon Slime/Gak.

this would explain the slime fetish nonsense...

False. Josh, Danny and Loribeth were highlights. As was Amanda Bynes.

If Nickelodeon attempted to ressurect it I cannot imagine the pandering that would be there.

Nickelodeon DID reboot All That, and it was ass (as usual)

Eh, I liked Lori Beth as the teacher, the Loud Librarian and in Vital Information. I liked Katrina as Ross Perot, even though I had no clue who he was at the time.

Maybe the 90s were this carefree era because you were a child or teen back then, because when you are like me and you were not even alive you realize the 2010s tryharded to be the 90s which itself lacked a lot of noteworthy shit.
Please excuse my cynicism but since Disney tried to make its own SNL for kids thing back when I was a wee kiwi (Sunny with a Chance and So Random!) that even back then I could see as just what it was I guess I am too jaded towards teenage sitcoms.

No. No it didn't. I tried to watch that show when I was a kid and it was just boring. Fight scenes were just a shakycam shot of a tiger running across a room. Conversations between a human and a morphed hawk may as well have been splicing together documentary footage. Morphing was pure body horror in the books, but in the show it was literally just a 90s grade photoshop effect. All that show awakened in the youth was an awareness of low budget filmmaking.

You remember more about it than I do. I had a few of the books but it's been literal decades.

It was a kid's version of SNL. It was pretty funny back in the day, but God damn, the author needs to calm their tits. It wasn't some groundbreaking high art that ushered in a complete paradigm shift.

Yep. It wasn't good because it was diverse, it was just good. It happened to be diverse and that's not a bad thing but ranting about the diversity is over the top.

I mean...it was SNL for kids. For that it was pretty cool and they got a pretty good group of kids to carry the show, but I don't look back on it as fondly as say Pete and Pete or the Nicktoons.

I tried re-watching Pete & Pete fairly recentlyish, lets say in the past five years. Just could not hold my attention as an adult.
