      Season 1 – Kenan & Kel

      1996 Kids & Family Comedy List
      Reviews 71% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings "Aw, here it goes!" Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were among the original cast members of the popular Nickelodeon sketch-comedy series "All That" when they received their own sitcom in 1996. Set in Chicago, the show follows the kid-friendly misadventures of two high-school friends who are always scheming and dreaming. Kenan, who works at a grocery store, constantly devises crazy plans to strike it rich, while orange-soda-loving buddy Kel is always dragged along for the ride despite his track record for messing things up.

      Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press The writing and performing drift toward the predictable and buffoonish, too often mirroring the inane sitcoms of mini-networks WB and UPN. Rated: 2/4 Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Phil Kloer Atlanta Journal-Constitution Come on, Nick, you've shown you can do better than this. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media The good news is that the zingers come a mile a minute, and if mindless comedy is what you're after, there's plenty of the fluffy stuff to be found here. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Rarely does a spin off show get it right, but this one does. A good amount of goofy comedy, but the storylines of the shows are usually strong enough to make it all work. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
