Occasionally they'll really hit the mark on this show. Everything with Penelope is gold, most of the staged audience participation works well too.
However, and maybe I'm just too old, sketches like Judge Trudy and the prank phone calls simply don't work. I get the feeling Moody's Point is an effort by Dan Schneider (who appears to be behind the whole thing) to get Amanda something a little more up-age-market. She deserves it.
While a little keen to rely on stereotypes (hillbilly moment, "I'm from Tenesesse(or however you spell it)" etc) there's usually enough moments, especially in the later ones (recognisable by a new title sequence) to keep most people with a silly mind occupied.
At least Amanda doesn't have the big problem that always stopped me watching K&K. Namely that inability to say anything without shouting.
