Synopsis

The Amanda Show is an American live action sketch comedy and variety show that aired on Nickelodeon from October 16, 1999 to September 21, 2002. It starred Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell, and Nancy Sullivan, along with several performing artists who came and left at different points, such as John Kassir, Raquel Lee, and Josh Peck. The show was a spin-off from All That, in which Bynes had co-starred for several years. The show was unexpectedly cancelled at the end of 2002, according to creator Dan Schneider's blog. Writers for the show included John Hoberg, Steven Molaro, Andrew Hill Newman, and Dan Schneider. Two years after the end of The Amanda Show, Dan Schneider created a new series, called Drake & Josh, featuring Drake Bell, Josh Peck and Nancy Sullivan.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
mr-payton Before I get dissed for watching a show "out of my demographic", I gotta let you know that I watched this when I was still a kid. Even then, it was outright terrible.A lot of the sketches were just lame: the "Hillbilly Moments" (one goofy hick would tell another a knock-knock joke, then hit him upside the head with something mentioned in the punchline), Blockblister (a video store owned by foreigners who would sell poor homemade versions of popular movies), Commercial skits where they would shill stuff like a soft drink sucked out of a sumo wrestler's gut, and Souper Dooper, in which a man and his daughter try to sell nasty fast-food products.I'm sure some of these sound okay on paper, but I guess there was a failure to communicate backstage, because they didn't turn out that way. Too many of the sketches didn't even have any real jokes--only some stuff that was just...there.The only cool sketches were Tony Pajamas, about a high-school age mob boss, and Moody's Point, a satire of teen dramas like Dawson's Creek.Why do I know so much about it? Eh, it was the only thing on in the afternoon. Plus, I liked All That, so I figured a spin-off would be good TV. I was wrong.
thebaloob123 This show was amazing! It was very funny and clever. It didn't do very well on Nick (*Shuder*) because it didn't talk to down kids, as with most of Dan Shinders shows (except Zoey 101...I'm not exaggerating when I say that is one of the worst shows ever created) But this show was great it also introduced the 2 of the most underrated personalities on kids show biz, Drake and Josh. The reason I don't give it all 10 stars is because it ha it's off sketches. But when they finally release it on DVD...pick it up! From the Dancing Lobsters to Amanda Please this show was the Arrested Development of kids shows...was canned too fast and was too smart for the room.
Rectangular_businessman Nickelodeon use to have good shows like "Clarissa Explains it All " or "The Adventures of Pete & Pete " .Those were good shows for all the family . Not like this retarded ,unfunny and obnoxious piece of garbage that for any mysterious reason was on television , in the years when Nickelodeon is going top the downhill . Basically it's a bunch of sequences ( no one of them were funny ) about Amanda Byrnes ,what according to this reality is the favorite of kids and adults ( keep dreaming ,that never is going to happen ) "The Amanda Show " don't have nothing to offer .Even the kids will find the humor of this show stupid . This show is probably the worst thing that I have the disgrace to see .
buddhadan-1 OK, while this show didn't even hit me until I was way out of it's demographic, I did watch it a few times (child at heart and all that), and I recall actually laughing a few times.Now, granted I have to look at the target demographic to see if the show was a good show for everyone else involved, but for me, I felt that it was like a young person's version of the old Carol Burnett show or the like.The skits were fairly funny, considering the age group it was designed for, and they were all fairly creative.I think the part that I actually really enjoyed, which is a little weird, was the theme music. It was so catchy that I still get the little 'Amanda amanda amanda show' part stuck in my head to this date.So, for the young and the young at heart, I'd recommend giving it a chance to see if it's your bag.
