Better All That season, 7 (2002) or 11 (2019-20)?


Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit since the first season of the reboot technically, is still on-going. But I thought that it was only a matter of time before this subject came up. Both seasons served as a "reintroduction" of All That with a brand new cast. Season 7 of course, was the very first season with nobody or zero remnants of the cast from the first six seasons (the Kenan Thompson-Kel Mitchell-Josh Server-Amanda Bynes era if you want to call it that).

In a sense it was kind of like what happened with SNL in the six season (1980-81), when they had to start from scratch after what was left of the classic era cast (Bill Murray, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Lorraine Newman, and Garrett Morris along with Lorne Michaels) departed the season prior.

Season 11 really served as an introduction to All That to a generation who more than likely, weren't even born yet when it was last in production in 2005, much less when it was in its so-called "golden age" (1994-2000). So perhaps this current iteration, had a less margin for "error" or failure (since there really isn't anything that they could immediately hold it up against to compare and contrast) than with the 2002-2005 version.
