a nineties standout, The Amanda Show is currently streaming in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 40 episodes — the right length to tell the story it's telling.

Originally commissioned by Nickelodeon, The Amanda Show quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. The Amanda Show is an American live action sketch comedy and variety show that aired on Nickelodeon from October 16, 1999 to September 21, 2002. It starred Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell, and Nancy Sullivan, along with several performing artists who came and left at different points, such as John Kassir, Raquel Lee, and Josh Peck. The show was a spin-off from All That, in which Bynes had co-starred for several years. The series ran for 3 seasons (1999–2002), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to.
