Ready Yet? Get Set, It’s ‘All That’: Reunion Special Coming To The Splat On TeenNick
Nickelodeon has really been doubling down on their nostalgia for the ’90s lately. Last year they introduced theprogramming block called The Splatthat brought favorite cartoons such asRugratsandHey Arnold!to TeenNick as well as live-action shows likeAre You Afraid of the Dark?andClarissa Explains It All. There’s alive-action/animated hybrid NickToons moviein the works at Paramount Pictures. And this year they announced aTV movie adaptation of their game showLegends of the Hidden Temple. Now a reunion of one of Nickelodeon’s favorite comedy series is in the works.
All Thatwas the kid version ofSaturday Night Liveback in the ’90s, except it was recorded instead of done live. The series consisted of a batch of comedy sketches featuring the likes of future stars such asKenan Thompson(who is currently onSNL),Amanda Bynes(who has sadly gone off the deep end a bit),Jamie Lynn Spears(younger sister of Britney Spears) andNick Cannon. And now there will be anAll Thatreunion special coming to The Splat.
EW reveals the All That reunion special will debut in April, and this teaser debuted from The Splat:
As you can see, the above teaser features original All That cast members Thompson,Kel Mitchell(who has anew show on Nickelodeon calledGame Shakers),Josh ServerandLori Beth Denbergalong with later additionDanny Tamberelli, the young star from Nickelodeon’s quirky comedy seriesThe Adventures of Pete & Pete. Hopefully they’re not the only stars of the show who will becoming back, but that appears to be the case.
Beyond this announcement and these five cast members, we don’t have all the details of theAll Thatreunion special will entail. ButTMZsays that unfortunately there will not be any new sketches created for the show. Instead, the special will merely replay sketches from old episodes with commentary provided in between from the cast members. That sounds enjoyable enough, but what kid of the ’90s doesn’t want to see the return of Repairman, Superdude, Ask Ashley or chocolate chefs Randy and Mandy?
At the very least, this will be a fun trip down memory lane, both for the stars of the show and those who enjoyed watching it. I have fond memories of enjoying a new episode ofAll Thaton Nickelodeon’s Saturday night Snick line-up along with countless reruns that played the rest of the week, so I’ll definitely be looking forward to seeing what this reunion has to offer.
