List of episodes

The show saw many changes before the start of the season. Original/former cast members Katrina Johnson and Alisa Reyes both had left the show, and former new cast member Tricia Dickson was fired to make room for new cast members. The producers hired Danny Tamberelli, Christy Knowings and Leon Frierson. This would be the final season for Lori Beth Denberg; in a live chat on Nick.com, she reasoned that she left All That, because she "was getting older."[2] Denberg was the last original female cast member on the show before her departure.

As the season progressed, Zach McLemore and Victor Cohn-Lopez began appearing in sketches, and were listed in the credits as featured players. Unlike other cast members, neither were given a proper green room introduction; however, both would appear alongside the rest of the cast during the goodnights. This was their only season on the show.

The intro for this season features the cast on a red carpet premiere in old Hollywood. The cast exit separately out of a limo and walk down the carpet, where they are greeted by fans who are throwing roses and taking pictures. The musical guest is shown followed by the entire cast standing on the stairs as people take their pictures.[3]
