All That

A lot of people will let their nostalgia get in the way of watching this: either they think it's bad because "nothing can compare to the original" or it reminds them of great times, so this must also be great. I didn't grow up during the times when the original "All That" aired, but I was old enough to watch the reruns. The reboot still catches the same charm and there's a lot of talent in these kids! A lot of them have great delivery, it doesn't feel awkward, and I find myself laughing to a lot of the sketches whenever it's on. I was really nervous at first because Hollywood has been harping on nostalgia and reboots this whole decade and the quality of these reboots vary extremely, so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this. Give it a chance, it's good!

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.

This show is just terrible. Like it's god awful. All it is are parodies and they aren't funny. None of the cast is funny at all. It's just terrible. Now yes, it's made for kids. But I'm pretty sure this is actually for everyone. And if all of your audience aren't liking it. There's a problem. I would go into this more. But I want to make a video on this.

Everything about this show is Just Funny! Brings back my child hood! They casted the right kids for this show. I believe this show will be good for the community. They use real Time movies and put it in their skits while also using their own creativity that we never seen before and expected to happen while bring omg back familiar hit faces that made this show exist. Really an exclusive throw back any 90 kids have craved to get back on the Tv again. I thank everyone who finally allowed this show to come back to the Spotlight!

90% is just parodies of already existing people and shows. Why do they think impersonating idols is funny and good content? People can create good content that's original and not just mock parodies. Easter eggs would be great but not a full skits that are parodies of popular icons/shows like the Masked Singer or something and have the Beyoncé "I'm Beyoncé look at me I'm Beyoncé is that singer me Beyoncé?" annoyance as a judge. There is no way those actors are going to grow as actors if they impersonate already existing people

Seriously. Remove the annoying parodies and the show would be great. Create only original content and people would love it. It's not hard to come up with original silly content for an already silly fun show.
