Mot Morenzi Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Anyone remember the Nickelodeon sketch show "All That" doing a few Lucy parodies back in the 90's? Amanda Bynes was Lucy, Lori Beth Denberg was Ethel and Keenan Thompson was Fred. Can't remember who played Ricky, don't think he was a regular cast member. I remember thinking how neat it was that a kid's show parodied Lucy, considering that only a few friends my age knew about the show. I remember 2 sketches, not sure if there were more. One was a take off on one of the pre-Hollywood shows, with Lucy and Ethel smashing a movie producer over the head with a vase because they think he's a burglar. The other one had Kel Mitchell doing his fall-from-the-sky handyman routine and totally demolishing the Ricardo's apartment. Ah, good times...

Hon, I could be mistaken but I think most of us were a little too in the tooth to have been watching Nickelodeon (we were around when some Lucy episodes were new ) but very interesting to hear there were Lucy spoofs on that show. And where have you been - just this AM I looked up your profile because it seemed forever since you had last posted. Never mind, I forgot you young people with your rock n'roll 8 track tapes (to quote Carol Channing in THE FAMILY GUY) have lives!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I remember that show as well. I think I was about 13 when it first aired, and I barely recall that particular episode. They say today Amanda Bynes is the new millenium's Lucille Ball. Sorry, don't see it. She's a good actress but she's a lot like Lohan, getting into trouble and acting crazy.

Luvsbway Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Amanda got the "young Lucille Ball" thing about 10 years ago. She even has a passage in the 50th Anniversary ILL book. With all her Lohanesque stunts now she is just another sad case of a young person with so much potential who is pissing it away. I thought she was pretty good in Hairspray.

With all her Lohanesque stunts now she is just another sad case of a young person with so much potential who is pissing it away. I thought she was pretty good in Hairspray. Wow, now I know who she is, yes she was very good in Hairspray, maybe the best of the young cast. I had no idea she had any Lohanesque issues, haven't bought a tabloid or People in so long and never with any frequency in well over a decade so I can't tell most of today's "stars" from the reality show people.

I know there are some members from my generation so I thought it might stir a few memories.
