Jermaine could have loan some to him, he whore a Left Eye shirt in a video once.

Most of his raps were Left Eye's rap from the old All That theme. He has to come up with his own raps. There is a rap code, that you don't cover other people's raps. You do your own.

And the girls of All That, as if they didn't have enough being compaired to the old cast, now they will forever be compaired to TLC, one of the great music groups of all time. I feel bad for them.

In defense of Bow Wow, they announced it as Bow Wow performing the show's theme song, so if that's the theme, it's not up to him to change the lyrics. If the people associated with the show didn't approach Bow Wow in terms of updating any rap verses, it's not his fault or responsibility to change anything. And I doubt that those girls will "forever" be compared to TLC.

I liked the special, it was pretty cool seeing the old characters back. I was just disappointed that more old cast members didn't show. And Kevin...where the **** was Kevin?!?!?! Would've been awesome to see him come out before it started going "5 minutes..." Ahh, but nonetheless I was excited to see the big ear of corn

Aaahhh...MEMORIES! I loved the All That tenth anniversary reunion special. It would've been nice to see ALL the old cast members act again, but seeing some of the old clips was good enough. The opening was pretty catchy too (Clips of the opening credits from the past seasons).

It's nice to see that Kenan and Kel haven't lost their comedic chemistry as a duo and they still shared that chemistry with Danny and Josh. But they seemed reluctant to play some of their old characters (Kel didn't seem to be giving it his all in the Good Burger skit). But overall, I loved seeing the old characters. That last skit was especially interesting with the different characters from past and present seasons of All That coming together.

The special could've been better, but it was good and the feelings of seeing parts of the old All That were ones of nostalgia. I miss it so much! The new cast will never live up to the original cast! The old All That was actually FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING! When I see All That nowadays, I don't laugh as much as I did when I was younger because back then everything was funnier.

And you cant expect everyone to do it. I never expected everyone to be back.

I also didn't expect them to get EVERYONE 'cuz god knows how hard THAT would be, but I thought at least they would get Lori Beth. I mean, when my friends think about All That, they think about Lori Beth too. I mean Lori Beth is just as well known as Kenan and Kel and Amanda and Josh and Danny and Nick and definitely Jamie Lynn Spears Hack. Do you kinda get my opinion?

Yeah i watched the reunion special today- it was nice to see some of the old skits back but they only had Kenan, Kel, Danny, and Josh...they needed Amanda and Lori Beth and than it would have been good. I mean sure Kenan, Kel, Danny, and Josh were good but Amanda and Lori Beth were huge parts of the show.

I didnt really like the reunion...though Kel (who I had a crush on) and Kenan were good, it was mostly just them, with a little bit of Josh (who I also had a crush on), and Danny who I didnt really care about...I can still remember the first seasons, when I was about 7 or 8. This was me and my friend's favorite show..back when the musical performances were all hip hop or R&B, which has always been my favorite genre (other than Pop). I stopped watching 6th season when the writing seemed to get a lot worse. The Mark Saul kid annoyed me too. I was watching an episode with the "new" cast, and I just couldnt believe how stupid the sketches were, and at first I thought it was my age, but after watching some of the old eps (and laughing at them), I realized it had to be something else about the show now. Yes, the skits were stupid back then, but they were more of a funny stupid. Now they're just childish stupid. I think the audience All That targeted and got when it first started is a lot different than the audience it's targeting now, which is why it's so terrible now imo. Oh, and Katrina, Alisa, Christy, and some others were THERE, but they were given any speaking roles. If they were going to have a reunion they should have just had the old cast, none of the new. The new cast messed up a lot of the sketches..

I totally agree with you. It was a reunion, and the new kids were pimping the new season. I was seriously getting upset because the whole thing was disappointing. I wanted Katrina, Christy, Alisa, blah, blah to all talk, because Kel and Kenan and Josh weren't the only ones who made the show. And where were Lori Beth and Amanda?!

Also, I agree with you on how stupid it is now. I think that the maturity level of the stupidity before was good. Now, it's just... dumb funny. Sugar and coffee?! Before we had Good Burger, The Angry Librarian, Ask Ashley, which were all great, and I still ultimately think they are great. The current ones, Know Your Stars, the rollercoaster that makes you sick, etc, are all childish, and ridiculous.

Oh God, make them all stop! The new skits are horrible!

importantly, Amanda Bynes? I also kind of find it ridiculous that Nick
Cannon couldn't find the time to hop on a plane and show up in person.
I mean, Kenan Thompson is on "Saturday Night Live" out of New York City
but that didn't stop from being there.


Why did Jamie Lynn Spears have to get air time/a chance to speak over
original cast members Reyes, Johnson, and Bates? Spears has to be
undoubtably, the most disliked (by most hardcore fans of "All That")
cast member in the history of the show.


I have very bad feelings about the new "Vital Information" with LL JJ
taking over for Lori Beth Denberg and Danny Tamberelli. I just
couldn't help but cringe seeing LL JJ bugging his eyes and shouting the
whole time. Denberg made the segment work because she gave the
impression that the whole thing was to be taken seriously (thanks in
large part to her deadpan delivery).


I'm I the only one who thinks that Danny Tamberelli put on a ton of
weight since last being on "All That?" When I saw him in the Good
Burger sketch, my first thought was that he was wearing prosthetics.


I wish that other past cast members got a chance to do their old
characters besides Kenan & Kel. I know that Josh Server got to do
Detective Dan and Danny Tamberelli got to do the fat cop but Kenan &
Kel did probably a minimum of three characters on the special.


I was kind of disappointed that a sketch from the new cast (i.e. "The
Unreal World") got voted the funniest moment in "All That" history. My
theory is that most of the people who voted are kids who were born
either shortly before "All That" debuted or shortly after. Because of
this, they have know real recollection of the "glory days" of the show
(i.e. 1995-1998).


I hope that "All That" isn't junking TLC's theme song in favor of the
verison that Lil Bow Wow performed with female cast members. I was
thinking that may be the producers would junk the long standing theme
since TLC (after the untimely death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, whose
vocals were prominently featured) is no longer a relevant force in the
music industry.


From one point of view, I thought that it was neat to have old cast
members like Kenan, Kel, Josh, and Danny interact with the new cast.
But from another point of view, it kind of shows how the older episodes
blow the newer episodes miles away. I mean lame, predictable, and
overall royally stupid characters like Sugar & Coffee are no match for
Mavis & Clavis.

I agree with everything that you said. I wanted to see Alisa Reyes and Lori Berth Denberg. I wanted to see more of the original cast. My fave sketches were the ones with Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.

Jamie Lynn Spears is not funny. I don't know why she was on there or why she even have her own show.

I was disappointed in "Vital Information" because I thought "Yes, I get to see Lori Beth", but I was wrong. Instead, it was Little JJ or whatever his name is. It wasn't the same and it was truly horrible.

Overall, I didn't think it was "All That", yes pun intended.
