Now that 2017 is upon us, I have found myself reminiscing certain parts of my childhood that I loved so much. The thought that the year 2020 is almost here kind of weirds me out. I mean, where is my flying car?! Anyways, here's a list of reasons the Amanda show was the best. Here's to the show that made my nostrils flare and my sides hurt from all the laughter.
1. The Theme Song
You KNOW as soon as you heard "Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, show!" that you were gonna be treated to some of the best comedy that existed on Nickelodeon. I mean, can we just reminisce about Nickelodeon in itself?! They had the best shows.
2. Moody's Point
Ahh... the best teenage drama to watch during the early 2000's. I remember having so much anxiety because they always left you with unanswered questions. For example, did Moody ever reunite with her mother after the hot air balloon accident? Did she ever end up with that guy? And did she find her father's toe? These are all serious questions.
3. Judge Trudy
It was so perfect. Everyone knew about the legendary and sassy Judge Judy, but we also knew about her doppelgänger, Judge Trudy. Amanda was always good at portraying people, and she nailed Judy. Don't lie! You always wanted to say, "Court dismissed! Bring in the dancing lobsters!"
4. "Amanda, please!"
Penelope Taynt. She was Amanda's number one fan, and she was so crazy. And every time she said "www.amandaplease.com", I ALWAYS would check the website out, which was up and running for a few years even after the show was cancelled. It was awesome.
5. Totally Kyle
Kyle told the best stories. He was so deep, and he was definitely one of my favorite sketches.
6. The Girls' Room
I could go on and on about all the jokes that went on in this sketch. If you watched the show, then you will definitely understand this:
Amber was popular.
Tammy was from Tennessee.
Sheila didn't like you.
Debbie liked eggs.

7. Blockblister
Oh, my gosh. I miss blockbuster so much. I mean, don't get me wrong--I love Netflix. But there was just something about going to the movie store and renting movies. It was the best! But you know what was much better? Blockblister.
Thanks for giving us some of the best shows ever Nickelodeon! I'll close with one of the catchiest phrases ever... "Nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, Nickelodeon!"
