All That

I was very happy to hear All That was coming back with a fresh new cast with 3 returning members. The show so far has been nothing but pure fun and comedic pleasure. The new cast is very hilarious and very fun for kids to relate to. The only thing I will say negative about it is that the original cast members were not really part of the show as classic sketches got new hosts/characters which if you ask me, I think they should have kept the classic and also the show was only 23 minutes which is very short which I do think they can make it longer but other than that, the show is very enjoyable and I am excited to see what they do with the show.

This show sucks so much. It really really sucks. The acting is awful and I can't stand even a minute of it. I'm 12 and my brother is 7. We won't watch this show. It's not funny AT ALL. The guy who plays the old man and the Poppi girl are the worst actors ever. Everyone else is kind of ok. Don't waste time with this show. It's the worst show there is.

As with all revivals, they always have to work extra hard to live up to the original. That's the simple truth. Nostalgia may play a factor, but the reality is that the original series featured many fully original sketches. Most of those sketches either launched successful spin-off shows or carriers for the actors.

In contrast, the 2019 revival lacks that original sketch content. Instead, they rely on trends and parodies of already existing shows and impersonations of real life people. Parodies are not bad things on their own. Well done parodies are hilarious. However, original writing is a must if this revival wants to survive past its first season. If this revival intends to rely only on parodies, it will struggle to last for a long run. This will be the case because these sketches are going to be time sensitive and fail to draw an audience after a very short period of time. The original relied on creating its own characters and situations that lends itself to a timeless feel. This new series is sadly only relying on trends. Since trends only last for a very short period of time, this is a situation of short term gain, long term loss. The new series won't be memorable and last long if the choice of sketch content doesn't change.

As for the new actors, I imagine that this is probably most of these kids first major shows to be working on. It's clear that they weren't very comfortable in their roles and positions. Hopefully, they will get more comfortable with time, but the initial acting was stiff and lacked believability and fluidity, both in opening sequence and in the actual sketches.

As a 29 year old I Grew up watching the original and really liked it a lot and was interested to see how well the reboot was going to be. With Kennan Thompson being an executive producer and a few other original cast members getting involved and showing the new kids the ropes and giving them tips I'd say show is gonna do well.

The fact is the target audience for the show isn't the 30-40 year olds that grew up with the original. It's for kids and they are going to do sketches aimed at kids. We have SNL for us adults.

People need to give these kids time. It's likely their first acting job much like how many of the original casts first acting job was all that and don't put the blame on what the writers wrote for the Sketch. The kids are in good hands and with time they will grow and be successful. V

I loved every bit of it. Some people are gonna say they don't like it because it's not like the old one. Me personally it kinda is. It's close enough. The old cast is still on there. What older people have to realize is that it's not for us. It's for the younger people. They tried their best to make it look like the old one and they did a very good job. Can't wait to see more!
