Show Description:

The Amanda Show was an American live-action comedy and variety show that aired on Nickelodeon in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom and on Family Channel in Canada. It starred Amanda Bynes and was similar to The Carol Burnett Show, but shorter in length and primarily produced for a younger audience. The show was a spin-off from All That, in which Bynes co-starred years earlier and consisted of many unrelated sketches that were created by Dan Schneider with executive producers Brian Robbins, Mike Tollin and Joe Davola of All That. The show was one of the most popular North American variety programs during its 1999 ? 2002 heyday, but was cancelled after Bynes was cast in What I Like About You with Jennie Garth. Drake & Josh, which is actually a spin-off of The Amanda Show, premiered in 2004 and stars Drake Bell and Josh Peck, former cast members of The Amanda Show. As of 2008, repeats of The Amanda Show continue to air on Nickelodeon in the UK and Australia and on The N in the U.S.. In Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp, which aired August 3, 2007, a scene from The Amanda Show of the two of them fighting over a shrimp is shown at the end.
