The WEIRD World of Ned's Declassified

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is a show that feels like it only comes around once in a decade or so. It has all the makings of what make a show in general good, but it's the unique ways that Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide brings you into the narrative in an artistic and cartoony fashion. But Nickelodeon never seemed to really love this show as much as the fans did, resulting in several attempts to get a roboot for Ned's Declassified but as of right now, nothing has come of it. Well, in a way, we actually may have just been given that reboot of Ned's Declassified in a slightly different way.

[@zeroxlulu]

This was probably why, as a kid who only ever watched cartoons, Ned's was the only live action show that caught my attention and had me watching. Drake & Josh, iCarly, Disney live action shows? I would always change the channel lmao but not when it was Ned's.

[@AB-fx7tg]

Ned Declassified is so underrated. Even though Nick doesn't see the value in having a reboot, I love that Devon, Lindsey and Daniel decided to bet on themselves and start a podcast anyway. I have been seeing more channels talk about Ned's Declassified recently. I think the podcast is helping build the "Ned" brand and value up more. Maybe this podcast would actually help them get a reboot.

A reboot would be lame. A revival would be awesome tho.

[@AB-fx7tg]

@@KingNexusMOCs yeaaaa I use the words reboot/revival interchangeably. I know they are different though...I definitely want an adult declassified that focuses on Ned, Moze and Cookie has adults. I don't want the show to be about the next generation of kids.

[@aaronfelton9508]

I think the problem is that any show they'd try to launch now with the same cast either would not work, or would not work on Nickelodeon. Who is pretty awful about holding on to copyrights they'll never use again.

[@Just_Kumoki]

Something I really apreciated about this show is that unlike other shows at the time (*cough cough- Zoey 101) Most of the times the main characters didn't "Win" or had they plans go perfectly, like in the daydreaming episode, even tho Ned answered the riddle right, when he arrived to the cafeteria he was the only one who didn't get pizza. It really helped and teached kids that most of the times "winning everytime" or having everything come your way isn't a realistic turn of events.

My favorite moment on Ned's Declassified was in the music class episode when Ned says he wants to rock like the Foo Fighters, Incubus... and Everclear, and the music teacher says "Never heard of them". The crazy thing was that the music teacher was actually played by the lead singer of Everclear, and the song he performs about wanting to be a rockstar is actually a song BY Everclear (my favorite song of theirs lol). I'm not even the biggest fan of Everclear, but this was such a cool thing to learn about and helped me to really respect them.

[@Lechuga1815]

That's my favorite episode, while I never became a rockstar. I definitely remember that episode for teaching me about how even the basics and fundamentals are important for every activity you do. And it also gave me a lasting perspective on practice vs talent. Also, It was pretty cool when I realized it was the lead singer from Everclear. Although, it was pretty Everclear that he wasn't a normal actor from the beginning.

[@TayoEXE]

Ned's Declassified Adulthood Survival Guide really does make a lot of sense. If kids thought middle school was rough, I think we who grew up with it can equally say how difficult adulthood can and has been to navigate.

God this show. I'm autistic and have ADHD and as a kid who was undiagnosed, this show was basically a guide for someone like me who did not understand any social cues. It really helped me understand the chaotic world of school life a bit more.

[@PhantoRoyce]

I’m autistic af and this show really helped me in my early school life. Some of the things that might seem obvious to normal people were light bulbs to a guy like me. This show really helped me in social situations in school because I would just think “what would Ned do?”

[@Ashley-xu1lk]

First of all, all three of the main actors grew up hot. But I think Daniel Lee Curtis had the best glow up when looking back at the show. It's like he grew into the man that Cookie imagined himself to be. I'm glad all three are doing well and that they are pushing for more Ned's Declassified content.

[@Victoria-qb3dr]

This show meant so much as a kid. Even in the netherlands, where school is so much different from american school, this show helped me deal with a ton of formative lifr moments! Seeing ned change his point of view each episode thought me to grow and question things i saw as facts. Really incredible, while still being mostly entertaining and funny

The more people I meet from the Netherlands, the more I realize how similar of a country it is to Canada. At least relative to other countries, especially European countries.

[@angrynoodletwentyfive6463]

One thing I liked about the show is that the teachers (even the strict ones) were shown to ultimately want what is best for the students rather than being portrayed as complete adversaries. The teachers might still at times be the conflict but they were always shown to have good intentions. I think shows that portray teachers as these evil beings that want to destroy all fun and fail everyone really do a disservice to both the students who see that and the teachers who teach them. So seeing a show that portrays teachers as not being somebody you want to be dealing with but who ultimately wants to see you succeed is much better than a lot of other shows I have seen.

[@Redrally]

The one moment in Ned's that made me laugh and applaud all at once is when Ned is told to his face that he would make a wonderful teacher. I just thought at the time: "I can see that" A Ned's Declassified Adulthood Survival Guide should have Ned being a teacher.

[@Geostelar4920]

This was absolutely my favorite live action Nick show for such a long time. I loved how it was a live action cartoon and it was absolutely hilarious. Not to mention relatable.

I can easily imagine a Ned's Declassified Adulting Survival Guide. It would be simultaneously zany and depressing, which would be pitch-perfect for the Millennials and Zoomers who watched the original. I can see the episode titles now: "The Gig Economy", "Taxes", "Work/Life Balance", "Health Insurance", "Landlords", "Monetizing Your Hobbies", "Impending Environmental Disaster", and "Coping with Never Being Able to Own Your Own Home." Edit: I typed this before the last 20 minutes. I'd watch this show over Zoey 102, TBH.

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

If there was a Ned’s declassified adults, it would be so cool if there was a tip about old friends/classmates or even ex’s and it’s someone who was also in Ned’s declassified. It would probably be fun if it was a complete unknown background character. Like, don’t you remember me, there I am, and it’s some little red ring in an iconic scene

[@VongolaXZax]

This really was, one of my all time favorite live action Nick shows, definitely a gem of the early 2000s and with a banger opening theme song. It was relatable and wasn't afraid to be itself, the show was a good kind of "different". Something modern shows always miss.

One interesting thing to add is Scott Fellows attempted a new "Ned's" style show at Nickeldeon after Big Time Rush/Johnny Test in 2014 that only lasted one season "100 Things To Do Before High School": featuring a main trio of kids navigating middle school (a girl and 2 boys) with help from a school faculty member played by an actor known for a Nickeldeon animated show (Jack De Sena).

I loved the show growing up it was one of my favorites every time it was on I would start watching.

[@spicylemon5579]

Ned declassified was one of the top tear shows I had growing up and for the time it was one of the only shows that fit into the middle school age to watch not too adult or to kiddy and having Ned speak directly to the camera about the tips made a more parrasoical relationship between the audience making it feel like he genuinely cared about making our time through school better. The tips genuinely did help for the beginning when it’s such a big change from elementary to middle and I feel like at least help me with understanding how to socialize better and give a better understanding of different social dynamics in young life

[@pizzakoe]

I always dubbed it 'Scrubs for kids'

[@GethOverlord]

I didn't realize it at the time, because I was likely the perfect age for this show, but having Ned's Guide was really a great set of lessons that led to a level of emotional maturity I don't think I would have without. And that leads all the way up into the modern day. I would love to see what they could do with that kind of creative forethought into something like a sitcom that would have more substance than Big Bang or Friends or something like that.

I hope all the people who helped bring this show to life know that they contributed something truly good to the world.

This is one of those shows that has survived the test of time. When they first advertised it, I didn't really care for it. I saw it as Nick trying to sort through the leftovers of what Disney had done with their live action shows. "Ned" felt like Nick's answer to "Even Stevens", in the same way that "Unfabulous" was their attempt to win over "Lizzie McGuire" fans. But they were just different enough to be their own things, and in my opinion, "Ned" is the better show by a mile.

Schools in the US are completely different in every way than they are in my country, we don't have lockers, no clubs, no going to different classes (the different teacher comes to your classroom), no cafeteria, no school dances or festivals, no school busses and a lot of more things, the list is long So as someone who grew up with this show and not knowing how schools work in the US, this show felt even more weird for me and my friends, everything felt so surreal and the parts of the show that seem completely normal for someone living in the US, felt really really strange for us, so this show is even more hilarious for people in different countries

Hmm, you know that if Ned's Declassified continued into High School then it would of gone a little something like this High School: It can be on Nickelodeon and or Teen Nick "or both at the same time" which would discuss a little more serious issues, problems, etc on how to tackle day to day life when in High School "yes, even friends and teachers there as well". College/University and or Tech and Trade School: It can be on Nick & Nite and would cover topics about the stress in being away from home in a very big college/university or home at a local college and dealing with even more problematic topics that High School and Middle School Survival Guides couldn't cover. I will note that they can do a College/University and or Tech and Trade school at any time since nobody is too young and or too old to attend further education "aka, College/University and Trade and Tech Schooling"

[@debo10z]

Dude for a comedy, this show actually did put out some really useful tips for school. Like leaving your locker combo halfway done so you could just turn and open. Bringing extra clothes and siting by the door so you can avoid squeezing through a tiny door with 20 other people.

[@1BlueYoshi]

I have a lot of fond memories of this show. I would love an "adulthood survival guide" reboot, God knows I need it rn haha. I also had no idea the actors for Ned and Mose actually dated, or that all 3 of the main trio are still friends irl, that's really cute!

[@mudkipjuice]

Man this show was so special to me as a kid. I had a uniquely terrible middle school experience and had to grow up very quickly. Watching this show as it aired at the same time provided a sense of normalcy and helped me actually feel like a kid when i shouldve been, instead of dealing with harsh adult issues. All the nickelodeon shows helped but this one in particular helped getting through what felt to me like the more insignificant hurdles of school much easier.

[@Crimson_Fist]

Thinking about it now, this might have been my favorite Nick show. Period. It came out when I was in middle school, so I could relate pretty easily, especially to Cookie. I also had the biggest crush on Moze. I don't think a reboot needs to happen. If Nick doesn't want it, it's their loss.

As someone who watched this show in Germany I always thought they were in highschool and not middle school! I think that was mostly because the German voice actors don't sound like middle schoolers (especially cookie in my opinion) and it always such a weird feeling to hear the actor's actual voice like I know they are young and you can tell they are young by looking at them but it's always fucking with my head

I tried looking up a retrospective for this show 6 months ago and found nothing. Good to see someone finally do it.

[@ASloppyJoe]

Great show, and honestly looking back, pretty dang good acting. Not sure if that was due to direction or the actors, but either way, the kids they got in the cast really knock it out of the park.

[@conradoramos9105]

If they decide to do a continuation of the show, I would like to think Ned becomes a guidance counselor so middle schoolers for a new generation. It would be a great passing of the torch and find a way to add More and Cookie

Growing up I never knew that Gordy the janitor was also the voice of Cosmo on TFOP.

[@haleyhersh3850]

Really?! That’s something

[@ggrarl]

Cosmo, Jorgen, and Timmy's Dad, but what's funny is he was in another cartoon "Tuff Puppy" as the Chief. There was even an episode where they had to catch a weasel. Oh, and can't forget he was Knock Out in "Transformers Prime"

Loving the content Jordan! This show is amazing, and the podcast has been such a bright light in my life recently. I get so excited about new episodes!

Another certified childhood classic! Jordan fringe coming through on my day off!!

Ned’s declassified was always such a fascinating show to me, because I’m from Denmark and we don’t have schools divided as you do in the States. I always watched it with both a “I know this is a very over-the-top satirical way of portraying how a middle school is in America” but also a sort of “huh, so this is what it’s like” kind of mix - I grew up with various sitcoms and movies portraying middle and high schools and I always had a little dream of wanting to move to the states to experience it on my own, and I know this sounds weird, but this show sort of gave me a way to experience that without having to move of course. I could sort of pretend for a bit. Because Ned still gave pretty solid, albeit generic, advice that either I could kind of use or let me see that children in America could. And that gave me a small peek into what it was like to go to a middle school (but taken with a grain of salt as I knew this wasn’t a documentary😅) plus I always really liked that it was advices given from a kid to other kids, which made it more believable in some way, if that makes sense. Really loved this video man!

[@Vaennylla]

This was such an important show for me as a kid. I really hope they make a show like this again.

[@DarkbloomVis]

I love you for making this video, this show was one of my favorites and no one talks about it

Thank you Table Guy!

There was a short-lived FOX sitcom in 2016 or so called "Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life" which felt like an attempted continuation of _Ned's_ for the mid-10's young adulthood of the late-Millennial/early-Gen-Z crowd that grew up with _Ned's_ It got cancelled after one season, but it had its moments. And the two leads ended up getting married in real life, so that's cool too

I still hold this belief: Scott Fellows > Dan Schneider any day of the week, not even just them as humans, but BTR and Ned's are way better to watch back than Zoey and ICarly, as the jokes aren't funny now that I have a fully developed brain. I realized I was more interested in the premise of the shows (boarding school, online famous website/show) than the actual characters themselves. Probably the more "controversial" part of my take: Drake and Josh is still a good watch, but I cannot watch Dan Schneider shows because the actors themselves are not good people and are reminders of their bad deeds and Dan's. For example: Drake Bell, Jamie Lynn, Christopher Massey (for defending Kyle Massey's latest... Drake Bell activities), etc. His shows also had the ab•se of Alexa Nikolas (bullied by the Zoey 101 cast and Dan. She even later received an apology from the Britney Spears herself who confirmed Alexa's events) and Jennette McCurdy (it's detailed in her book what Dan did, but she was also gr••med by a writer on the show she had known since she was underage, who began dating her when she turned 18 *barf*). It's hard for me to see these shows filled with people who would turn out to be crap and/or people who were struggling with so much. It just makes me sad. While Ned's cast went through hardships after the ending of Ned's, the set itself wasn't harmful and you can tell they enjoyed their time on Ned's, it was the ending that messed them up

[@schris3]

The video most of us were waiting in your channel, I agree with everything you said, a fantastic show that I treasure deeply in my heart, indeed it still affects me to this day too, although I might not remember every single tip, but I still remember a good chunk of moments the characters passed through.

[@15725867905]

I wrote a high school handbook as a creative writing exercise in 2010 and reading it 15 years later I find that it still applies in a ways I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about. Ned’s was an awesome series and I think we all saw it as just entertainment, with maybe a handful of takeaways which actually proved useful.

The janitor Gordon was a gem this was one of my favorite shows as a kid I was just talking about this the other day and I was like man I wish Jordan Fringe would do a video on this and then bam today you post one LOL because I just found your channel like a week ago LOL immediately fell in love😂😂

Omg I’m 28 lol we’re aging but yes I loved this show

[@paooul_dixon]

What I think is a great testament of how great this show was is back in 2006-2007 when this show was first airing my 6th grade science class was able to convince our teacher to let us watch the show in class. She actually watched the show on her free time and agreed that it was great and actually recorded an episode for us to watch once in class.

[@stinkbanana2522]

Devin looks nothing like he did. Lindsay looks exactly the same lmao

[@alexiswelsh5821]

This show came out when I was in elementary school, I loved it so much, and used it to help prepare me for middle school.

[@Ruesen]

I never got into Ned's Declassified as I was feeling too old for it when it came out. However, seeing the main trio still hanging out as friends warms my heart. I love that for them, and probably would get into the series if it did get rebooted just for that. Mainly because it sounds like it would become a passion project of sorts, and I wish that for them!
