Welcome to the Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide at TV.com

Nickelodeon's Ned's Defied School Survival Guide chronicles the wacky adventures of Ned Bigby and his best pals Jennifer "Moze" Mosely and Simon "Cookie" Nelson-Cook at James K. Polk Middle School, as "every-kid" Ned shatters the fourth wall to share tips and tricks on navigating middle school or junior high hurdles.

Ned's not super cool, and he has no superpowers. He is, however, witty, well-groomed, upbeat and self-aware. Moreover, with more than a little help from his two best friends, he's equipped to conquer middle school minefields. From crushing bullies to crushes, from off- the-wall, mean and cool teachers to pop quizzes, elections and detentions, Ned knows that nothing, including the seventh grade, is as bad as it seems, and friendship matters most.

Characters:

Ned Bigby is pretty much your average 13-year-old. He hangs with anyone who he thinks is funny and cool, like his two best buds Moze and Cookie. Ned's not exactly popular, but he does have a couple of things going for him: He's smart and observant. Ned knows what's up. Which is probably why Ned's basically an optimistic guy. He realizes that nothing, including 7th grade, can be as bad as it seems. Of course, a few survival tips definitely come in handy now and then.

Moze is a smart, funny and totally insecure seventh grader. She's never really been "one of the girls," since she spends most of her time with her best friend and next door neighbor, Ned. But these days Moze is actually starting to get into some typically girlie stuff-like fashion and, you know, boys-and she's decided she's in need of some actual female friends. Makes sense, right? Try telling that to Ned...

Cookie is Ned's OTHER best friend-probably because their last names have been alphabetically linked since second grade. Cookie comes from a super-rich family, but doesn't want anyone to know it. He actually has a limo drop him off at Ned's house so he can ride the bus with everyone else. Cookie's a major brain who's, well...kinda weird. He suffers from chronic bed-head, his fashion sense is non-existent and despite his super-smarts, he can be pretty clueless. Oh yeah, and he's wired to the web 24/7, which comes in handy since he seems to wind up in wacky situations 24/7 too. Did we mention he was kinda weird?

Gordy School janitor who doesn't clean, Ned's adviser. Often heard saying "I'll let the night guy do it." He is simple minded, like his Weasel catching attempts, yet very complex, like in his book. A good hearted man, he just wants to help the kids, though it's the kids that usually help him.
Mr. Chopsaw Wood shop teacher, Moze's adviser. In episodes he's in, he often helps her with problems (i.e. Clothes). Has a prosthetic hand... rumor is he's made of wood. Tough and gritty, then good spirited.
Mr. Monroe Life Science teacher, full of life! He's another good person. Although a little girly, he wants to help the kids. Ned calls him "a great teacher" probably in part because he doesn't punish Ned like all the others.
Mr. Wright History teacher. In episodes without Mr. Chopsaw, Moze often goes to him for advice. He's a good teacher, and always knows what to say. Kind of a usual nice TV show teacher, kind yet not always very observant. The good guy.
Ms. Dirga Stern P.E. teacher. Tough, athletic, yet caring. She wishes to help the kids get through Middle School, but she's still a teacher and is not going to let the road be easy.
Mr. Sweeney Evil Science teacher. He's very into science, and just wants everyone else to be as well. As we see in "Notebooks" he wants everyone to do well, but when given the chance will be evil. Has a good evil laugh.
Lisa Zemo Allergy sufferer, adores Cookie.
Billy "Bully" Loomer Polk school bully, adores Moze.
Claire Sawyer Future lawyer, helpful in a pinch.
Suzie Crabgrass Moze's rival, object of Ned's desire.
Coconut Head Bad haircut, good heart.
Seth Powers Hottie basketball player. Moze has, or at least had, a crush on him. He always wears the same green and yellow warm up suit and has a basketball spinning on his finger. Not very interested in school.
Martin Qwerly Talkative smart kid. A friend of the gang's. Not very popular either. A little on the weird side. Has a twin sister seen in "Tutors." Student Council V.P.
Crony Loomer's henchman. Doesn't talk to much, and follows Loomer around. He is very dependent, seen in "New Semester" when Loomer doesn't want him anymore, he runs off to find someone else to copy... twice. He is also the best cross stitcher at Polk
Nurse Hunsucker Polk nurse. Though it may not seem it at the beginning of the show, she is caring and really goes out of her way to make sure the kids are okay. In the episode "Double Dating" she comes to the school at night to help Ned with an upset stomach.
Ms. Enstile Beautiful Spanish teacher, scene in "Teachers." Due to not being able to focus on anything but her, Cookie transfers out of her The huge crew VERY into make-up, and the girl bullies of the school. They adore Ned beyond belief.

FAQ:

How Old is Ned?
Ned and friends are in their 7th-grade year at the beginning of the show, so we're guessing 12-13yrs old in the first and second season. In the third season, they are in 8th grade, making their ages 13-14

Why does Moze hang around with Ned and Cookie?
Simple. Because she likes them.

Will Nickelodeon release an Official Ned's Defied School Survival Guide - tips/tricks book? It's a fantastic idea to boost the show's popularity! However, the only book that exist is a book of lists available at http://www.amazon.com/Declassified-School-Survival-Guide-Teenick/dp/043983161X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-1812889-4108048?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182876613&sr=8-2less «

  crappy reality tv trash on a cartoon channel hide « show »

  oh how i miss the days when spongebob squarepants wasn't the only cartoon on nick. its sad that nick can't seem to keep a show for too long. everytime it gets a new cartoon at the kids choice awards its cancelled after the next new cartoon comes along with the exception of back in the barnyard which is still hanging on somehow. It was a terrible show with awful dialog and random children prtrayed as idiots. The idea wasn't too terrible if they had thought to have been to be realistic. It'd be nice for kids to have a guide for school situations like a bully or an emergency accident.

  Do you agree?

  Great thinking putting it back on, Nick. hide « show »

  I forgot how much I liked this show until I watched a couple of reruns that Nick put on. I think it was SO smart of them putting this back on, because I'm pretty sure it was on of the most popular shows on TEENNick. One of the things I love about it is the fact that it's so cheesy (the effects and all that...) like an episode I watched last week, Sweeny fell out a window, and you could totally tell it was a dummy and the punching effects with all the colors and stuff, I think all that was purposely added to make it funnier. All the actors are perfect for playing their characters, and (unless it's just REALLY good acting) all of the main characters seem to have pretty good chemistry. This show is the perfect balance between a comedy, and couple stuff (not like...*gags*....Disney shows...just kidding...sorta) and will have you laughing a lot.
  
  Grade: A+ (Ned didn't even get one of those in the show....haha..)

  Nick was smart to put this back on. hide « show »

  For once a good show is brought back to Nickelodeon! This is definitely one of the better shows on Nickelodeon, and the advice Ned gives seems like it would be very useful. The show can be a tad too unrealistic at times, like the parts with the weasel, but it's still awesome and so funny at times, like in one episode where Ned, Cookie, and Lisa suck in helium and talk funny and in another episode where Coconut Head loses the spelling bee and cries. There are also some episodes where I feel very sorry for Ned, like Study Hall, but this show is overall very awesome and I'm so glad Nick put it back on!!!!!! Marebear2009, out!

  9 Superb

  Helpful and Informational hide « show »

  This show is made to help kids through middle school. It involves Ned Bigby and his friends Moze and Cookie who are making it through middle school. They get help from their teachers and the school janitor, Gordy. If you need help with bullies, embarassment, or getting organized, you can turn to Ned to help you. This show has funny characters and gags, such as Gordy chasing after a weasel, who is always hiding somewhere in the school. Cookie the hightech geek is Neds best friend and always help him. Moze is Neds other best friend who he ends up going out with. I hope there is a sequel involving high school.

  Oh thank you so much for putting this show on! I love Ned's! It's awesome! hide « show »

  Thank you nick for bringing back Ned's! The middle-schoolers out there needed it. This show aired for a long time, before I even needed it. Then.....it ended. Now, it airs at the end of the school year, when we are about to close the doors to school and say "Good bye school, hello summer!" It is a great show....it helps me with my middle school problems (if only they had an episode which was the guide to Spanish class) Although they ad in some weird things, such as the weasel and a bunch of weird stuff, they say things that are pretty true:
  We have bouncy cafeteria food, bullies, stupid lockers, crazy teachers, strict teachers, mean teachers, jocks, preps...all the things in normal middle school. They just add a little more drama to the mix and BOOM!...you got Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide to help YOU survive school :)
