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 show was unexpectedly cancelled at the end of 2002, according to creator Dan Schneider's blog. Writers for the show included John Hoberg, Steven Molaro, Andrew Hill Newman, and Dan Schneider. Two years after the end of The Amanda Show, Dan Schneider created a new series, called Drake & Josh, featuring Drake Bell, Josh Peck and Nancy Sullivan.

Today we meet up with Penelope, Amanda's biggest fan, who gets turned away at the door due to a mix-up. Meanwhile, Amanda makes her entrance by helicopter. The show starts right here. Guest starring Kenan Thompson and Josh Server (From ""All That""), delivering a pizza and good wishes for Amanda's new show.
Amanda's number one fan Penelope opens the show today, as Amanda is not on the guest list for some reason. Jack and Jake, the two least successful bullies in school are trying to cause up trouble, but it just doesn't seem to work!!! Also, Amanda has a date with a boy with a pimple, at first she think's it's ugly and sick.... but in the end she runs away with it and leaves the boy sitting by himself with a confused face. Plus, Amanda has some fun with a prank call to Mr. Oldman.
Amanda and her co-stars are eating, when Drake brings out a lobster to eat and the dancing lobsters are in the room, while he is eating it. When they see the cooked lobster, they get upset and leave the room worried and scared. Meanwhile, Amanda's attempts to open the show are interrupted once more by Penelope, this time arriving by special delivery. There's a family obsessed with wrestling, they start of waiting for there daughter before they eat dinner.... but the burgers are too hard to eat, so they order a pizza and demand it to be there in 10 seconds, when the pizza guy asks for the money
It starts of with amanda, teaching the lobsters to dance and when they do it infront of the audience, amanda pops off and penelope trys and disguises herself as one of the lobsters and tries to keep up with their dance. Also, alot of people get ripped off in blockblister, one of them being a person who asked for austin powers and got a different version done by the blockblister family. And the blokey family get new neighbours, who take things a bit too seriously. Like asking them to hold something for a second, they count to one missisippi and then drop it.
Amanda nearly doesn't make the show opening thanks to an unusual elevator. After that we see some remote control underpants. Mr Gullible (a subtitute teacher thats very gullible) is taken for granted and does things like giving the students $100 each and drinking fish water. There's also the star-studded audience awards, including best laughter, and least intelligent audience member.
