All That is a live-action comedy-variety show exclusively on the Nickelodeon TV channel, featuring sketches in a manner somewhat reminiscent of Saturday Night Live and earlier Nick show You Can't Do That on Television. The show has guest actors and musical performances each episode. The theme song for All That is performed by TLC.
The show was first aired on December 24th, 1994 featuring adults, but around the turn of the millenium it made a big switch to feature only children, and currently follows this format. The show originally taped at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, Florida before moving to the Nickelodeon at Sunset studio in Los Angeles, California.
On March 13th, 1999, All That celebrated its "100th episode" (even though in reality, it was the 85th episode to be produced) with a live, one hour special. The actual 100th episode came in the fifth episode of the 6th season with Hoku as the musical guest.
After ten episodes of the 6th season, All That went on a production hiatus (in its place, came a string of "Best Of.." complication episodes for the rest of the season). During this period, a search was made to find a completely new cast in time for the 7th season. Because of this, many fans of All That often consider seasons 1-6 and seasons 7 onward to be almost completely seperate entities.
The first episode of the "new" All That (with special guests Frankie Muniz and Aaron Carter) was the 115th overall airing in 2001.
In 2005, Nickelodeon celebrated the 10th anniversary of All That debuting by airing "classic episodes" in the week leading up to a reunion special on April 23rd. Fans often consider the latter episodes (i.e. beginning in Season 7) of All That to be greatly inferior in quality to most of the earlier seasons.
Some of the former cast members got their own spin-offs including Kenan Thompson & Kel Mitchell (Kenan & Kel), Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show), Nick Cannon (The Nick Cannon Show ), and Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101).
