Best live action show Nickelodeon ever put together!

This show is an absolute gem! Nick has created shows in the past that lacked so many elements that go together to make a successful show. Mostly, their best shows have been animated (like their biggest hit, "Rugrats"), but the majority of their live action shows have been, well, rather pathetic (like "Clarissa Explains it All", "The Secret World of Alex Mack", and "My Brother and Me"). So with such a past filled with mediocre shows, it was quite surprising that Nick created such a fantastic show. Yes, folks, Nickelodeon finally got it right! The show has great writing and with its talented cast, often joined by classic television veterans, Richard Moll and Joe Piscopo, the show serves up hearty laugh-out-loud moments for the whole family.
