Complaint Department Lady: Complaint Department.
Megan Marples: Hello, my name is Megan Marples, that is. And this is my dog, Sniffles.
Complaint Department Lady: Is that your complaint?
Megan Marples: Why, no it is not! You see, I bought this hat and it has a hole in it. Observe the whole.
Complaint Department Lady: [grabbing dog] Well, this is the weirdest hat I've ever seen.
Megan Marples: No, no, no, no. That is my dog. This is my hat.
Complaint Department Lady: [placing dog on head] How's it look?

The old cast was perfect, the new cast is simply terrible

Back when this show started in 1995, the cast, mainly the players like Keenan Thompson, Lori Beth Denburg, and Kel Mitchell, were all very talented and extremely funny, which made All That one of my favorite shows on Nick.

However, fast forward to 2005....and it's simply not the case. What was once a smart, funny show has now been replaced with a bunch of talentless teens running around on stage, pretty much saying "Look at us, we're funny! Laugh at us!" I watched an episode of All That on tape from 1995, then caught a new one from 2005. The differences are vast and very big. The 2005 All That episode was filled with unfunny sketches, and actors and actresses who were basically trying waaaaaaaaaay to hard to be funny and not succeeding in the least. (It's pretty much the same thing as the god awful "Amanda Show".) At least the 1995 version had funny sketches like Good Burger and such.

Overall, avoid the All That of now like the plague, but try and hunt down the older episodes if you can.
