Amanda Bynes and Dan Schneider continued to work together following the release of "Big Fat Liar," and the next project that Schneider created with Bynes in mind was a sitcom called "What I Like About You." The show co-starred Jennie Garth, who played Bynes' older sister. The pair end up living together after their dad gets a job transfer to Japan, and any number of assorted high jinks soon ensue.
In a review of the show in 2002, Variety wrote: "Nothing even remotely deep here, but with the confidence of more mature leading ladies, Bynes carries the load, bringing an utter charm to even the most chaotic moments." In other words, Bynes made the show as great as it was. In fact, the actress made it clear 20 years later that the show is still special to her.
In a 2022 interview, Bynes told TMZ that she would love to explore rebooting the series. "I think it's a great idea to reboot the show," Bynes said. "I miss them and would love to work with them again. I don't miss acting but I loved this show, so I'd be down to return to acting for this revival. It would be a great experience to continue the show." Bynes also shared that she hadn't spoken with anyone else connected to the series about a reboot, and it's unclear if Schneider would be expected to return.
