One day I checked on my Youtube
and randomly found a very first interview of AMANDA BYNES after 4 years got off
from the spotlight. Since then I started to miss watching her old movies and
series. For me, she was magnificent and genuinely funny. I always fully
entertained watching all of her movies. I don’t want to debate about what has
happened to her on the past 4 years and her controversy because that’s not my
interest. I just want to do a little flash back about who she is and how her
talent jollied me.
Amanda Laura Bynes, she is the
youngest daughter born from parents Richard and Lynn Bynes. Her parents worked
as a doctor and assistant at one of dental clinic. She’s got one brother named
Tommy Bynes whose age 10 years older and one older sister, Jillian, she’s also
study acting. Her acting talent was obtained from her father who also practiced
stand up comedy. She lived with a Catholic and Jewish family, made it picked
her choice to follow her mother as a Jewish. Amanda has time to move to an
apartment in Hollywood with her dog Midge, but it didn’t took her too long, she
moved back to her family’s home
When she was 12, Amanda already
had her own live action comedy called “The Amanda Show”. This show was
successful in many countries such as USA, Australia, Netherlands, UK and
Canada. That show was also ever become the most popular variety program on North
America through 1999 – 2002.

The Amanda Show (1999 - 2002) |
I remember watched The Amanda Show,
it’s really funny and unusual. Especially whenever she played as Judge Trudy I
would laugh the hell out of my lungs. The Girl’s Room scene was always be the
funniest, the school's girls squad consisted of four young students led by Amanda who often spent their time
at rest room and made a joke to random stuffs. Even sometimes this show played
the joke too far but it’s still entertaining.
After gained succeed from The Amanda
Show, she got a main role as Holly Tyler at What I Like About You series and
quited the show. Since then her position on that show replaced by Drake Bell and
Josh Peck.

What I Like About You (2002 - 2006) |
Recently I rewatched WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU, I watched all of the season. I love it so much. This series is about
Holly Tyler (Amanda Bynes) who had to move to her sister’s apartment, Valerie
(Jennie Garth) since their father was transferred to Japan for work. Valerie
must deal with quiet immature, funny and loud sister by her own meanwhile they
actually had so many opposite personalities. I love both Bynes and Garth in
this series, they really had that sister chemistry. Completed by many great
supporting character like Gary (which undoubtedly funny, he held a record for the
most character who making me laugh), Holly’s best friend Tina, Vince, Lauren
and so many more. Their family and love life twist brilliantly got me become
soft and sentimental at the same time. Their comedy came really natural brought
with a great spontaneous script.
Anyway, I’m still looking for her
great movies and series to watch. I found couple of them but I haven’t watched
it yet. Soon after I watch it I will share it again on my next part of this
post. SEE YOU !
