Four music-school students have adventures that help preschoolers learn the fundamentals of music, as well as lessons in friendship, diversity and cooperation.
The father-son rap music team of Master P and Lil' Romeo headlined this family-oriented cable sitcom, which bore traces of such earlier hits as The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family. Master P played Percy Miller (which happened to be his real name), a music industry executive and the manager of his 11-year-old singer son Romeo (played by guess who). Others in the cast included Erica O'Keith as Romeo's prissy 16-year-old sister Jodi, Zachary Isaiah Williams as his scampish six-year-old brother Gary, Noel Callahan as Romeo's foster brother and best friend Louis Testaverde, Victoria Jackson as the kids' no-nonsense nanny Mrs. Rogers, and Brittney Wilson as 11-year-old Myra, the girl next door who harbored a crush for Romeo. The series premiered September 13, 2003.
A sort-of Saturday Night Live for the preteen set, Nickelodeon 's All That features a blend of comedy skits, musical guest performances, and kid-friendly guest stars. Following in the footsteps of its adult inspiration, the series spawned a movie from one its sketches (Good Burger) and served as a career launching pad for several of its cast members, including Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, and Kenan Thompson who, appropriately enough, joined the cast of SNL in 2003.
