I was already 20 when the first movie came out, but I actually enjoyed the movie for the same reason that most people hated it. I LIKED that Greg was a selfish jerk. I liked seeing a main character that was flawed that had to learn to grow from those flaws. It was a refreshing change of pace to not have a child main character who was a goody-two-shoes.

Harryanna Hook (she has an opinion channel here on KZread) even complimented how Ned is a great exemple of when they make a "perfect character" work with some good-writing, because we see a lot of shows that try to make their characters flawless just because they are the main characters but we as the audience get annoyed by this because they do make mistakes and the show won´t acknowledge that, but with Ned he is really nice and just wants to help others, even when he does "wrong" things such as stealing a notebook to study for a test, tricking his teachers to get info about some other student or change the way people see him he still does it in an funny way and it never gets awful consequences either for him or his friends or the school staff so we can´t get angry at him

He then calla forth a new updated guide for college and gives it to the main character before he disappears into the sunset.

This was a good show. There was an episode where Moze blew off studying for a test, thinking she could just wing it because she was smart and always did well. She ended up doing poorly, and the lesson was that you should always study ahead of time and make sure you're prepared. Even if you get A's, never think you can just wing it. A genuinely good lesson that I wish I implemented more in some of my college classes.

I'm surprised no one is taking about Ned's tips. They were honestly quite useful. Especially those for school tests, running for student council, making friends, choosing after clubs among other things. I swear those tips would have been so useful if I was rewatching this so around my teen years. The best part, all characters mattered and weren't just there. The vice principal and Mr Sweeny despite being an authorized figure had characteristics that were different from the perspective of Ned. VP being there to watch out for kids to help them which was his goal after changing careers from a cop. And Mr Sweeny who despite being seen as some evil (Ned and his schoolmates prescriptive) but truly did care for his students. From tricking Ned into using his old notebook to study his test to not ratting him out in the finale episode. There were kids who had careers planned out for themselves, like the lawyer girl. Teachers to guide students and even connect on a personal level (choosing a career episode) Even the janitor was made so likeable and not seen below others who worked at the school. He was given a personality that to me made him the best character, I character who's absence would ruin the show in a way. This was such an underrated show. I'm annoyed it's not mostly known.

I think the characters were amazing, diverse, and ahead of its time as well. Moze had ALL the potential to be those "i'm not like other girls, ew girly things" type of girls, and this trope was at peak during the 00s. But instead she was just a regular tomboyish girl who happens to be bffs with 2 boys. She never shames other girls for being feminine, and she also yearns for a girl bestfriend. Even her rivalry with Suzie brings out the best of both characters and had nothing to do with competing for a boy's attention. It was just perfect and wholesome!

as insane as the show is, I love how they totally lean into the insanity - this show knows exactly what it is and what it's doing lol, I re-watched it last year as a 25 year old and was super surprised how enjoyable and funny I still found it to be

My sister was born with a very rare chromosome disorder that gave her weakened breathing which caused her airway to be very small. Meaning she couldn’t talk normally as her vocal cords didn’t vibrate like normal. Somehow she taught herself to whisper talk. It was amazing. Anyways, long story short her health conditions kept her from experiencing normal things such as a normal school life. She was often home sick with pneumonia most years. This show gave her hope. It let her feel what it was like to have friends and have goofy jokes and things happen to you at school. She felt as if she were a character in the show herself. It was amazing seeing her joy whenever this show came on. Sadly my sister passed away suddenly at home 2 years ago. This show will forever hold a special place in my heart and memories. My sister lived her life through her shows she watched. They gave her hope.

*Response* My sister was born in 1998 and passed away in November 2020. When she was born the doctors at the time told my parents the best thing we could do for her was to put her in a facility. My parents refused outright. A lady at the hospital was giving flowers of all sorts away at the doors leading outside. She gave my parents a sunflower and from that moment till now that flower has held a lot of meaning. On my sisters grave we were able to have sunflowers etched into her nameplate. My sister was born with a digeorge syndrome. She was a fluke, the rarity for her illness was a 1 in 6 million chance. Since her passing we’ve now learned that my sister was actually born with an illness known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. It’s a real head scratcher to explain, but simply put it is an extremely rare condition. My sister has been in countless medical journals and teaching materials for doctors to learn from her so that her life might be help for another child to live a better and more healthier lifestyle than my sister. 🌻🌻Rest In Peace Gracie Lou 1998-2020🌻🌻

Great summary!

I think it's super interesting that, according to Alex, American middle schools really do have similarities to series like this (even if, of course, a lot of it is exaggerated for comedic purposes). When the series was released under the name "Neds ultimativer Schulwahnsinn" ("Ned's Ultimate School Madness") in Germany in 2006, I was just 12 and had been enrolled in High School, since there is no middle school in Germany. When you're 11 or 12, you're just sent to the same school as 18-year-olds. And back then I always imagined that such schools didn't really exist and watched the series more like some kind of fantasy series. XD I learned much later how the American school system works.

I was the generation that Pete & Pete originally aired for, but my kid watched Ned's Declassified, and yeah, it never seemed that weird to me after watching Pete & Pete. Then again, I'm also the generation that spent our early years watching Peewee's Playhouse in its original airing, moved right onto MTV'S Liquid Television (if you don't know what that is, go look it up, it's wild), and closed out our 20's watching cartoons on Adult Swim. A lot of these shows seem pretty tame and reasonable in comparison to the insane, mind-bending stuff a lot of my generation was watching at 10-14.

We're still just as weird today 😘

Thanks for FINALLY doing Ned's Declassified Guide. This series was top Nickelodeon, the premise was simple and each an every chapter was fun, the cast was solid and the story ark for each and everyone of them all see a conclusion throughout the series, which is something plenty of series dropped the ball latter on. This is one and Drake & Josh are the only early 2000 nickelodeon series I can still recommend without the fear of creating some sort trauma.

Ran into the actor who played Ned at a rave a couple years ago. He was chill af.

I was also in high school when this show came out, still loved watching it, although not only Cookie, but the whole cast went weird in the last season, as if they had to make the show more cartoony because the actors were getting older.

It wasn't just the weirdest show, it was the bestest show. Seriously, I remember watching this one religiously when I was a kid. And it gave me a newly found love for the Almighty Janitor archetype!

This show feels like a fever dream! I remember liking it as a kid, but I was always completely obsessed with Drake and Josh. Looking back now and knowing about all the controversy with Dan Schneider, I realize this was one of Nick’s least problematic shows. It aged well.

Oh god I love that you highlighted my absolute favorite line in the whole show with Gordy and Cookie 🤣 A little disappointed your video wasn't more comprehensive of the whole show and how it progresses though, instead of focusing on just the very first episode. I seriously think this was Nick's greatest live action show

This show really was a Gem like some of the lessons still run true plus it has one of my favorite casts of a sitcoms. Definitely peak nick.

This show literally changed my life in the weirdest way. I was going into middle school just after it started and was a huge fan, so when they had auditions for the school play I was like "that's so middle school! It's something like Ned, Mose, and Cookie would do!" so I auditioned for the play just to be like them, and found a life long passion for acting. Now I'm signed to the same agency as the girl who played Mose, where she started. Crazy looking back lol

Not what binge watching means.

I have to admit while I did love The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh way more I did love Ned's Declassified way more than iCarly, Victorious, and Zoey 101 because I felt like it had the right kind of humor to get me laughing and I loved how relatable it was compared to those shows as in it shows the life of middle school and how to survive it even if it was exaggerated in hilarious TV form. Lol What I also found awfully interesting was that the guy who created this show, Scott Fellows, also created Big Time Rush and around the time when iCarly was out and everyone was raving about iCarly. I loved Big Time Rush. It had the kind of humor that I loved from Ned's Declassified (Though honestly I literally had no idea that the two shows had the same creator till I was in my twenties but it explains a lot. Lol) Also I love watching shows that involve music and people making it big time especially when it's written well. Everyone including my friends were raving about iCarly but I was the one person who absolutely loved Big Time Rush way more than that show. I even loved it more so than Victorious and Zoey 101 as well as much as I loved those shows. It always made me feel pretty unique! EEP! :) Looking back I wonder if part of it is because compared to Dan, Scott didn't have the kind of humor to make me feel uncomfortable or weirded out. I still need to get Paramount Plus to binge watch these shows but I wouldn't be surprised at all if part of that was the case at all even though I loved The Amanda Show and Drake and Josh way more.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I made sure to never miss a new episode.

I actually used one of the tips in this in middle school. It was the one with the locker combination where you do the first 2 numbers in it when you leave, so you only have to turn it once to the last one when you go back to it. It was rather efficient, and I got out of school just that little bit sooner at the end of the day. 🙂 Also, fun fact: the janitor is played by Darran Norris, who voices Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents.

You know the characters from this show strike me as students that would ultimately come back to be teachers

"I feel like I need to call my mom to come to pick me up." I felt that in the fiery depths of my soul.

I would have been finishing up highschool when this show came out, but I still remember watching it and being invested in the wacky shenanigans whenever I caught it on TV.

I remember being in 7th grade when Ned's Declassified came out and trying the tips at school. Long story short, it did not end well. 🤣

I think the fact so much of the show can still apply to today and even adulthood, to some degree, shows how well it holds up.

This show has held pretty well, I watched it as a kid and loved it, I’m 24 now and still find it funny. 😂

Thank you so much for bringing back memories of Ned's declassified but The Amanda Show could've stayed locked far far away along with most of what happened on late night Teletoon....

It’s such a weirdly brilliant show, and has shockingly aged pretty well which says a LOT considering how rare that is. I loved it as a kid and could see myself still enjoying it today, also as a kid I genuinely feel like watching it helped me feel so much more comfortable with my journey first going into middle school, even if some of the “lessons” were pretty ridiculous and comical, some of it was still decently accurate (while still being presented in a very wacky fashion) but above all it helped with my confidence and fears in going into the 6th grade.

U NEED TO REVIEW THE MOODY SEGMENT FROM THE AMANDA SHOW, IT'S GOLDDDD

While this show had its crazy moments, it really did teach kids some valuable lessons and cause of that, it holds a special place in my heart. Like the study ep, thanks to that ep I made sure to always make sure my notes were organized and not a complete mess when I needed to study.

I loved this show. It was freakily accurate. The three main leads worked well together. Edit: Loved the Janitor. My middle school Janitor was a great guy who didn't talk down to kids.

nobody seems to talk about how this show has the same creator as johnny test. both shows are pretty bonkers but in such distinct ways that you'd never assume they have so much shared dna.

just watched the podcast they put together and its awesome! they talk alot about behind the scenes stuff and what theyve been up to since neds declassified was over.

I really liked Moze!!! She wasn't too much of a "I'm not like other girls" but still not a girly stereotype

Good thing you tagged this at the end of the Pinocchio video cause KZread did not show me this was released and it was one of my fav shows when I was little

Just because of Alex the words SKILLSHARE and AUDIBLE are engraved in my brain, I sometimes even hear those words in my dreams

I been waiting for Alex to do this video for 3 years This is one of the best Nick Shows and it aged well

This was definitely a comfort show for me. As a writer it was really fun watching Ned go through some of the same struggles I do like writers block, etc. I just wish they played it more on re-runs. I can’t remember the last time they played this show.

Loved that they had a nod and a wink for the parents (like me) and had Mr. Monroe being an homage of a character Jim J. Bullock player named Monroe on "Too Close for Comfort".

I would LOVE to see a video from you on the Amanda Show! I loved that show growing up and no one talks about it!

I discovered this as an adult when my son was just a kid. And yes, it most closely resembles the Nick shows I grew up watching in the early 90s. It wasn’t trendy… it felt like every absurd thought one has at that age had been mined and put to screen. The experiences are silly and universal and treated as such. It’s real life situations turned into fantasies like Salute Your Shorts, I totally felt being assigned to ‘the locker at the end of the universe’. Great show 😁
