Pretty rare episode that only aired a few times.

Nickelodeon was trying to find a sketch comedy replacement for "You Can't Do That on Television" and "Roundhouse" during the time; ("SNL for kids"). They aired this pilot/special on Nickelodeon back in early 1994 and it did well enough to turn into a full series lasting 10 seasons (1994-2005).

Some differences in the pilot:
-Different colored set/garage
-Different opening sequence showing TLC performing the theme song
-Shorter sketches (possibly following "You Can't Do That on Television's" format)
-Transitions featuring '90s celebrities (in a sort of similar fashion to the '60s sketch comedy show "Laugh-In")

Damn this was a great show back in the days. From what I can remember there were plenty of reruns of other seasons and rarely from season one. But still good stuff.

I actually remember watching the pilot and then the second episode and wondering why they had TLC on back to back as musical guests.

 

[faceless007]

Pretty sure I saw this when it originally aired; I have a very distinct memory of the "Glorp" sketch and it kind of freaking me out as a kid. (I was pretty sensitive to anything remotely like a horror trope at that age.)

'90s kid shows were weird.

 

[EulaCapra]

Woah... it looks like Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black started way waaayyy back.

 

[bounchfx]

I used to watch the hell out of this. Snick at night was great.

 

[junglist]

Different opening sequence showing TLC performing the theme song

After watching this pilot episode... thats how I remember the opening... I don't remember anything else..

 

[Oddduck]

I use to watch "All That", "Are You Afraid of the Dark", "Keenan and Kel", and "Clarissa Explains It All".

Good times.

 

[Amey]

Kenan and Kel Episode 1

 

[computers putin']

I actually remember the baggin saggin barry skit lol. All That was great up until most of the original cast left.

 

[davepoobond]

90s nick was so good. too bad nick never hit that same level again.

 

[junglist]

I remember the Big ear skit with Ross Perot... I totally forgot about that. Thanks for the good memories.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Don't remember much from this episode, but man was that short girl really annoying. Always thought she was. Also super weird to see Kenan, Kel, and Josh when they were like twelve.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Alisa Reyes turned into a damn fine woman.

 

[Rootbeer]

early 90s nick was great. snick was really something i looked forward to most weeks during that time of my life.

so was early 90s mtv though. good times.

damn, i really have no idea what either channel is like these days. haven't checked them out in many years.

i watch the new nick tmnt show but i get it on itunes

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

I remember seeing this back in '94 when it dropped.

I think they showed it again on '04 when they did the 10th Anniversary Show as well.

SNICK was the business. I remember when Nick at Nite started at 6:30PM before they went to 7 and then 8. That was big deal back in the day though.

Yeah, I believe that was the last time it was shown on TV (2004).

 

[Toa TAK]

Where are the before/after pics of the cast?

All That helped define Nick in the 90s. Oh how far the mighty have fallen...

All That was amazing until second 3 :/.

 

[Switch Back 9]

This is one of those moments where I read the thread title, click out of curiosity, and then have my brain exploded with nostalgia because I never thought I'd nail down the random fleeting memories of this show.


Mind blown.

edit: Nevermind, I meant "You Can't do that on Television" was the show. But this thread linked me to that anyway.

 

[DJ88]

God that was amazing to watch. I used to love All That, Kenan and Kel were just so good. I had a pretty big crush on Alisa Reyes too haha.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

[akira28]

hilarious. I forgot that Dan was integral to Nick's All That / SNICK era.

A lot of people did (including me; haha).

Kel Mitchell

 

[Bubbavelli]

It's wild to think the dude who wrote Chappelle's show also wrote this

 

[Nekofrog]

i was pretty much done with this show when the annoying as hell amanda bynes joined

the ask ashley skits alone were enough to infuriate me as a child

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Kel Mitchell

Still sad that he wasn't able to make SNL when Kenan did.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Lori Beth's hair tho...

Are you kidding? The Ask Ashley segments are among the best All That skits ever.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Wow, I actually think I saw this on TV. This "cool shoes" skit at the beginning is very familiar.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Good ol' SNICK.

 

[FeenixRising]

TLC!! *glomps*

Left-Eye

 

[jwk94]

I tried watching All That again during the 90s Nick thing a few months back and couldn't take it. It was waaaayyy cornier than I remember. Some skits still hold up though. Kinda wonder how the later seasons are.

 

[Mr. Wedgewood]

Better than any All That skit.

[Mr. Wedgewood]

Edit: double post

 

[Ol No Bones]

This takes me way back. Wow.

 

[You Know Nothing]

The Earboy skit is giving me nostalgia overload.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Good times, TLC!

 

[Strike]

Kel was always funnier, but Kenan looks better in a dress.

 

[hateradio]

I didn't realize TLC sang the theme song.

 

[Deleted member 102481]

All that was SNL right? Or am I the only who realized this growing up

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I didn't realize TLC sang the theme song.

TLC for All That
Coolio for Kenan & Kel

Same thing for me going back and watching "You can't do that on television"

 

[The Real Abed]

Eh. I dunno. I could watch YCDTOTV even now as a 35 year old man and still get some laughs out of it. Then again I can do the same with Square One TV.

I don't remember when I stopped watching All That. Probably around 2000 when I was 20 and grew out of Nickelodeon. I do remember it was when Amanda Bynes was taking over the network completely. Glad I got out when I did.

And in my opinion, Roundhouse will always be GOAT. I can still sing the entire theme song. Even the reprise at the end. I was sad when that went away. The cardboard props and remote controlled barcalounger were the best.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Nick was amazing before it became another shitty Disney channel wannabe.

Keenan and Kel
All That
My Brother and Me
Salute Your Shorts
Pete and Pete

 

[ScottSullivan]

I can't remember the name of the actor or the sketch, maybe it was later when amanda bynes was on the cast i think, but it was some kid, and the bit was like, "you discovered my plan, TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD MUAAHAHA" Always made me laugh so much as a kid. Anyone remember that?

 

[faceless007]

Really good in-depth article on the creation, run, and cancellation of Roundhouse

 

[Dereck]

The nostalgia factor is so high, that I almost teared up a minute into the video.
