The revival of a beloved 90s kids comedy series headlines another Saturday night of comedy, murder, and romance. Here are the highlights:
SERIES REBOOT: Debuting on Nickelodeon in 1994, All That was pitched as a kids version of Saturday Night Live. Featuring a diverse young cast in a half-hour of sketches and musical acts, the series was a decade-long hit for the network, branching out with albums, books, a movie (Good Burger), and numerous spinoff series with stars Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, and Kenan Thompson (who would go on to join the actual SNL), before wrapping its 180 episode run in 2005. Over the years, the show has stayed alive in viewers' hearts with reunion specials and reruns on Nick at Night. Now, with the original series' co-creator Brian Robbins as the president of Nickelodeon, and Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson acting as executive producers, the much-loved series is coming back. Original cast members Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg, and Josh Server will make cameos, sharing the stage with a cast of newcomers and musical guests The Jonas Brothers. 8:30 PM ET on Nickelodeon
