All That 10th Anniversary special to air April 23rd

[tvje]

Despite the fact that it has been 11 years since the first episode of All That aired, Nickelodeon will air a 10th Anniversery special on April 23rd.

I am a little excited about this special, finally they will show some clips from the old All That.

I hope Nickelodeon does what NBC did to promote SNL: The First 5 seasons special, by airing SNL from the first 5 seasons in the saturday overnight Classic SNL timeslot, and air some old All That leading up to the 10th Anniversery special.

OMG THAT IS AWESOME!

According to TV Guide, Frankie Muniz hosts, Ashanti and Bow Wow perform, and someone named Lil JJ joins the cast and takes over "Vital Information."

If this is supposed to be some kind of campaign to apologize for crapping the show up, it's definitely working!

AWESSSSSSSOME. It's gonna be a reunion, I just saw the commercial. This is great!!

[Caffeine King]

Aren't only Amanda Bynes, Kenan & Kel, and Josh Server showing up? Some f***ing reunion!

How sad! It's like they're trying to dumb it down and make it even less watchable (including the abscene of Lori Beth Denburg) by adding kiddy airhead favorites like the forever 11 year old Frankie Muniz and crappy label cash cows Ashanti & Lil Bow Wow.

What's more pathetic is that they're redoing ANOTHER sketch again.

Lil' JJ was the winner from the first season of Coming To The Stage (on BET)

How wrong was I! I mean, it was nice seeing Danny and Josh back (Kenan and Kel I could care less about), but this was a ripoff and a big promotional pump for the new season which is probably gonna be a big piece of crap nontheless. And plus, there is NO way they can do a reunion without Lori Beth Denberg. She IMO IS All That. More than Kenan, more than Kel, hell more than Amanda (where was she too?)! Where would we be without her Vital Information (why bring it back when there are only TWO people who should do it: Lori Beth and Danny)? All in all, a big flying piece of stinky kaka.

I am so mad!!!! I say boycott!

[Caffeine King]

I wasted an hour of my life.

Kenan & Kel were hilarious as ever (of course) and carried the tired, mediocre sketches that they were in with their refreshing, original (sorely missed) characters!

Josh who I liked him when he was on the show did nothing for me for this neither did Danny who I hated for replacing the awesome Lori Beth with Vital Information.

This was no reunion. It was just another new episode in disguise!

And did you see that...they're f***ing redoing the theme song with those girls singing!

Nice way to pay respect to TLC!

I hope & pray that they release All That out onto DVD and it gets the respect it deserves!

I'm like PO'd right now after watching that! IA, Caffeine! I should like do a petition to Nick to do a REAL reunion! With EVERYONE!

[vashti1999]

I thought it was a good special. Yes, in terms of being a "reunion" it may have been disappointing, but it was good seeing Kenan and Kel do those old characters again. It just showed how funny the show used to be. Josh didn't seem to be featured heavily. Tamberelli, we'll see him at his best when Pete and Pete comes out on dvd next month.

The upcoming All That stuff looks lame.

[TMC]

I saw past cast members Katrina Johnson, Alisa Reyes, Angelique Bates,
Giovonnie Samuels, and Mark Saul. But where was Lori Beth Denberg,
Shane Lyons, Bryan Hearn, Christy Knowings, Leon Frierson, and most
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 just about everything you said, especially Tamberelli's weight. He really let himself go. The "all time funniest moment" made me say "huh"? "That was it"? And J.J. doin Vital Information was cringe inducing. I would say though that I don't have a problem with the TLC version of the theme being replaced. The points you brought up (Left Eye's death and TLC's current irrelevance) are valid reasons to make a change. It's been there for 10 years, they can use something fresh.

I guess I'm not as upset about the reunion aspect of the special because from the start they never specified that everyone would be back. They mentioned Kenan, Kel, Josh and Danny would be featured so I wasn't expecting everybody, even though it would have been nice to see them all.

[tvje]

Before I get into the show. Let me talk about the theme music. Bow Wow needs to be slapped in the behind for his disrespect to TLC one of the greatest music groups ever, especially being where he is from, who his producer is. (Jermaine Dupri) Before or after his preformance, he should have given props to TLC, and would have been nice if he whore some Left Eye wear. 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.

Now on to the show. Great to see Kenan and Kel back together, and some of the old characters. But I am disappointed I did not get to hear from any of the old castmembers, particularly Angelique, Alisa, and Katrina. They did not have to be in any sketches, just say something.

They didn't show many clips. Mostly new sketches. I wanted to see some clips from the old show.

The new season wont be lame- at least i dont think it will be- their bringing back some of the old skits (Good Burger, Vital Information) ect.

Why would she come back and do a reunion if she left during the 4th season?

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