Amanda Bynes could do much better. There's one thing about her that really shines. Her voice. Or voices. Proven countless times on the Amanda Show and the Frankie Muniz movie Big Fat Liar, but not yet developed on her run of All That, she's obviously got a gift.
That said, watch the Amanda show 3 times. Only 3 times. Because in about 3 episodes, except for the hilarious yet too rare Dawson's Creek homage Moody's Point, you will know about every single sketch series they do. Judge Trudy? After the initial smile and smirk of the premise, it gets old. The Girls' Room? Obviously just a reason not to put the "Debbie" character on by herself, but still too boring. Totally Kyle? Once is enough. There are so few high points. And even they all seem to come once every season, though. Two gems: Survivor homages and Moody's Point(the best seem to be homages, don't they?). The crazy Penelope Taynt gets worse and worse per episode. The only reason The Amanda Show lacks majorly is the fact that after the beginning laughter shock of seeing some great idea for a sketch, you'll really start to notice that they only seem to change a word or two per episode.
