Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide

Ned's the Classified School Survival Guide was one of those shows that I watched while doing homework, projects, or any "educational" type work that I had to do. Since I had plenty of those to do, NCSSG became a daily show that I JUST HAD TO WATCH. Every time I watched it, I laughed out loud. I mean, really loud. I even experienced some accidents while watching the show.(Not entirely true) Not only does it make me laugh, but it really taught me a lot about school. I know that most of the stuff is over exaggerating,but Ned's tips helped me tremendously during school hours. Ned's somewhat a middle school philosopher. The whole point is, the show is freaking awesome.

I admit it, other than a few shows on Sci-Fi and HGTV, I don't watch much television, unless one of the kids of the house is. So quite often, we wind up watching cartoons or kid's programs. Which was what got me watching "Ned's Declassified" to begin with.

It was the clever writing, delightful acting and absolutely silly absurdist comedy that drew me back over and over again. Sure, like many other TV shows aimed at a pre-teen/teen audience, "Ned's" is about a group of kids trying to get through school, deal with adults that "just don't understand" and peers that are "out to get them", but it accomplishes this with an original style all its own. And along the way, the kids learn valuable lessons about creative thinking, problem resolution, compassion and empathy.

Two thumbs up from this Mom!

I've seen two episodes of this show now and I am totally into it. It has all the elements to make up a really great series and I can tell the rest of the episodes will just keep getting better. The characters are funny and original, the actors are hilarious, the special effects are sweet, the music is rockin, and the pacing of the show (two 15 minute episodes in a row) is a great way to ensure there won't be a dull moment. Even though the show is marketed for junior high school, younger kids will enjoy the silliness and older people will get the more clever tongue and cheek humor. I can see this show will be a big success.

Thanks Nickelodeon!

Me personally i do not like much on Nick except Sponge Bob and Fairly Odd Parents but this show is Fantastic!! I love the fact how it is sometimes so fake. I also think that they casted everybody perfect!! You just have that weird feeling when you watch it. You think why am i watching this but you also think this is so unusual but in a good way! I LOVE IT!!!! Everybody just watch Ned's Declassified School Survival guide! IT RULES! The story is about this kid named Ned who's friends Cookie and Moze try to make up tips in a composition book to survive school. In school there's a lot goofy funny characters including Loomer and Coconut Head who ROCKS! I am telling you watch Ned's Declassified School Survival Guied its awesome!

I have only seen about one and a half half-hour segments of this Nick show; but based on what I've seen, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is good if you're in the vicinity of a TV and have nothing else to do. My brother loves this show, and records it on our DVR. There are a few good reasons why.

For starters, instead of one entire episode per show, there are two twelve-minute segments, each covering a single topic. This helps immensely in the pace of action by not having strung-out, boring scenes that go on and on. It also means there are no commercials guaranteed for an entire episode (unless you need to use the bathroom desperately). If there are any other good characteristics from cartoons like SpongeBob or Fairly Odd Parents that share this characteristic, they apply to this show as well.

Second, the show is not preachy. It does NOT make the entertainment value second-nature to the morals. The tips Ned does give naturally flow with the on-screen action and are not shoved down your ears. Compounded with the fact that it doesn't seem take itself very seriously, watching Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide felt a bit like watching Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry - good if you like Nickelodeon's sense of humor.

Third, the three main characters are very likable if you are in to these kinds of shows. Personally, I believe Ned is one of the better main protagonists to come around lately.

Taken, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is the most light-hearted school drama/comedy to come around in a while - not only in the humor or range discussed topics, but also in its playful presentation. Perhaps it's in many ways the perfect guilty pleasure show? Whether or not you'll like this show depends on taste; but, in short, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide succeeds in excellently manifesting itself into what it's supposed to be: a school comedy.
