List of episodes

All That's second season ran from October 7, 1995, to March 30, 1996. This season contained 21 episodes, as well as Good Burger special episode.

This season is similar to season one, starring the same cast members, having the same intro, and still being taped in Orlando, Florida. Following the conclusion of production on the third season the show moved out of Florida and moved to Nickelodeon on Sunset (formerly The Aquarius Theater) in Hollywood, California. Season 2 is also the final season for Angelique Bates, whose contract with the show was not renewed. [1]

The producers thought that Mitchell and Thompson had good chemistry on the series together, and so from there, the duo would begin starring on their own show, Kenan & Kel . The show debuted shortly after this season ended, with Mitchell and Thompson performing on both shows and doing other promotional work with the network.

Along the way, Dorothy and Mr. MacToad meet Pasta-Mon (Kel), a Pastafarian man who is made entirely of noodles--but he has no sauce. All three reach the Great and Powerful Cos's brownstone apartment, where they discover that he is none other than Bill Cosby (Kenan; they were initially greeted by Camille Cosby [Angelique], who then disappears).
