Screenwise Verdict

All That was Nickelodeon's sketch comedy goldmine in the 90s—the show that launched Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes, and countless catchphrases. It's safe, energetic, and showcases kids doing creative comedy.

But let's be real: it's rough to watch now. The humor is deeply 90s (Good Burger, anyone?), the production values scream decade-old Nickelodeon, and the rapid-fire sketch format means you're sitting through a lot of misses waiting for hits. Kids today won't get most of the references, and the pacing feels both frenetic and oddly slow.

This is nostalgia viewing for parents, not appointment television for kids. If you loved it growing up and want to share a piece of your childhood, go for it—but don't be surprised when your kid asks to switch back to YouTube after ten minutes.

Age Fit

Common Sense Media rates it for ages 2+, which seems absurdly young—realistically it's for elementary-aged kids (6-12). But here's the thing: most modern kids will find it dated and boring. This is really for nostalgic parents who want to show their kids what they watched, not something kids will discover and love on their own.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

Classic kids-by-kids sketch comedy with positive energy and no mean-spiritedness. Some potty humor and exaggerated celebrity impersonations, but it's all in good fun. Models kids working together creatively, though the rapid-fire sketch format can feel chaotic.

Imaginative

Sketch comedy format showcases creative variety—characters, parodies, musical performances. Kids performing for kids demonstrates that comedy and performance are accessible. The unpredictable nature and range of sketches kept things fresh, though it's more imitative than truly original.

Safe

Very safe for family viewing. No violence, sexual content, profanity, or frightening scenes per IMDb parent guides. Some poop jokes and physical comedy, but nothing that would shock or upset. The unpredictability mentioned by Common Sense Media is about sketch variety, not inappropriate content.

Enriching

It's entertaining sketch comedy, not educational programming. Kids see peers performing and being creative, which is mildly inspiring. Some cultural references and parodies offer light social commentary, but the primary goal is laughs, not learning. It's fun, not particularly meaningful.
