The Amanda Show is an American live action sketch comedy and variety show that aired on Nickelodeon from October 16, 1999 to September 21, 2002. It starred Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell, and Nancy Sullivan, along with several performing artists who came and left at different points, such as John Kassir, Raquel Lee, and Josh Peck. The show was a spin-off from All That, in which Bynes had co-starred for several years. The show was unexpectedly cancelled at the end of 2002, according to creator Dan Schneider's blog. Writers for the show included John Hoberg, Steven Molaro, Andrew Hill Newman, and Dan Schneider. Two years after the end of The Amanda Show, Dan Schneider created a new series, called Drake & Josh, featuring Drake Bell, Josh Peck and Nancy Sullivan.
Nancy introduces Amanda and Drake to the "Costumatic 5000", a machine that gets you dressed quickly, but she has some trouble operating the machine. Amanda's show opening is interrupted by a fly swarming around the stage. There's an advertisement for "Why Not Sumo?", followed by more respect for kids on Judge Trudy. We also visit the Extremes, a family who takes everything to the extreme. There's time for a Hillbilly Moment and we also see Penelope visiting a psychologist. More prank calls to Mr. Oldman, another Hillbilly Moment and more "interesting" topics with Totally Kyle. To end the show, Drake gets chased by 3 huge football players searching for their football.
