Format
The Amanda Show is a sketch comedy television program set in a fictional universe in which it is broadcast as a popular television comedy (a show-within-a-show). Recurring sketches include "Judge Trudy", a spoof of the courtroom reality Judge Judy; "So You Want to Win Five Dollars?", a spoof of the ABC game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?; and "Blockblister", a spoof of the now-defunct video rental store Blockbuster.
