The Amanda Show

Let me start by saying, this how was wayy ahead of its time. I recently binged this show from the very beginning and i still find this hilarious. But, after watching Quiet on the Set docu series, i looked at this show way differently now. I feel so bad for all the cast members that were abused on their set and feel specially bad Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell. For Amanda, i hope she gets the help that she needs, and i hope she appears on more tv shows. She's extremely talented, beautiful and she still is. I fell so lucky for watching all of these amazing nick shows when i was a child, because now nick is trash.

Good grief! I can't believe all the negativity here. This show is hilarious! I am 34 years old and my husband is even older than me. We used to sit and watch it with our kids and we would all laugh so hard. We even recorded some episodes and watched them over and over. Anyone who says Amanda has no talent doesn't know what talent is. She is a gifted actress and comedian. Watching her show reminded me of watching the old Carol Burnett show when I was younger. Sure, some of the skits are silly no-brainers, but everything doesn't have to be deep. The Carol Burnett skits were the same way. Sometimes you just have to be silly! It is a silly show but it is fun and my whole family enjoyed it. We own the movie "What a Girl Wants" which we've watched many times. It is a better example of how funny Amanda is and what a great actress she is. She is a beautiful young lady with a great future ahead of her. The first time I actually saw her was on the movie "Big Fat Liar" and I remember telling my husband, that girl is going to go places. I hadn't seen the Amanda show at that time but we started watching it and loved it. If you haven't seen it, don't listen to these people, give it chance for yourself. MAAA HAAAAA

Amanda Bynes is well-deserving of her own show. She's improvisationally superb, comically hilarious, dramatically gifted, vocally versatile, physically agile, personally friendly, realistically down-to-earth, and absolutely beautiful.

The Amanda Show was very good throughout its 3-season run on Nickelodeon. Almost every sketch was hilarious. True, it had its dull points, but what show doesn't? Also, most of the rest of the cast was talented as well, especially Drake Bell.

In fact, not only did The Amanda Show recieve remarkable ratings for its Saturday night time slot, but it only ended because AMANDA HERSELF wanted to move on, the show wasn't cancelled by the execs.

Now Amanda Bynes stars on the WB's "What I Like About You", so you can see her radiance there weekly, as well as in "Big Fat Liar" and the coming-soon "What A Girl Wants".

Okay i realise i'm going to make myself very unpopular here just for my one line summary above, but i'm not going to let most of you say bad things about this show without saying why i think it ROCKS. This sketch style of comedy isn't usually my scene but Amanda Bynes is the most hilarious teen i have ever seen. She has the natural ability of being funny and a truckload of talent to go with it. When she does that hillbilly sketch i completely crack up. Infact i have laughed till my stomach was so tight i thought i would die. The only thing i don't like about the show is the segment on Moody's Point, it seems so dull and unfunny so i find myself channel hopping until that segment is over but the rest of the show is a total scream. Teenagers would prefer this style of entertainment to older people, i'm not a teenager but i never grew out of kids shows so i can still appreciate lighthearted comedy like The Amanda Show. Amanda portrays many diffrent characters and i think she performs great in all of them but i especially like the character of Courtney with the glasses and huge teeth. Courtney's appearance alone is enough to make me laugh and Amanda adds so much more to make Courtney even funnier than she already is. I'm not surprised Amanda Bynes is moving on to bigger things like her part in Big Fat Liar and i'm sure that's just the start for her. I'm looking forward to seeing alot more of Amanda in the future.

I am a bit surprised by some of the comments from users regarding this show. This show is meant to appeal to kids, and so it is not surprising that adults might not find it amusing. Some of it is rather silly, but the show does have moments. I am an adult, and sometimes watch it and I think the Judge Trudy sketches can be good, I especially like when she stands up for the kids, and punishes the parents for being idiots. And of course when Judge Trudy shouts "BRING IN THE DANCING LOBSTERS!" Have some fun, and don't take things so seriously.
