User Reviews

a unique & funny show!
5 October 2003 | by gyrleSee all my reviews

if you grew up watchin from the begining of All That, then you should have no problem with Kenan & Kel... i loved the show, it was always full of many laughs... i still watch the show (i have many episodes recoreded!)... anyone who doesn't like the show is either too young or too old for the show... it's just one of those shows you had to simply watch from the begining to understand and apreciate the humor...

i always did wonder why kenan just didn't dump kel as a friend but it's JUST a show! haha yeah, it's just one of those things.

oh yeah and i give mad props to Kenan Thompson for being SNL!!
