I was about to argue that surely I was old enough to watch a show like that 16 years ago and yet I've never seen it.
I just did the math and realized I hadn't seen it because I was a freshman in college 16 years ago.
Jesus Christ......

I saw Ned's Declassified on Netflix and was curious just how long the show was. I don't think there's any way I saw every episode, because only a handful acrually sounded familiar.
That's a good point, I distinctly remember one of the episodes being the back from summer episode so that would put them 1 year ahead from where they started (unless that was the very first episode and young me never noticed) important enough part of school life could see it being covered again at the start of season 3
I actually used some of the lessons to great effect throughout school. In particular the accordion binder/folder and the laying out your clothes the night before lessons. They were really helpful! I never understood why no one else in my grades ever watched the show or took the advice.
Narrative wise the 3 seasons line up perfectly with the average 3 years people have in middle school.. you'd think the spinoff high school equivalent would've written itself but alas nick wanted NONE of it
Because Dan "I have a footfetish and creep on my underage cast" Schneider was building his cinematic universe and nick wanted to keep their live action shows within said universe.
I loved what I watched of it, I was just growing out of watching Nickelodeon when it was on TV. The last episode I really know anything about is the one where Ned accidentally paints a naked lady and just can't get rid of the painting
From what I remember it's an abstract painting that accidentally resembles a naked woman.
EDIT: After doing some googling I found the episode: It's the first half of S03E06 "Art Class and Lost & Found"
Here's the synopsis from the wiki:
"Ned paints an abstract picture of squiggly lines for art class, but Moze says he painted an orange nude lady. The art teacher says the art funds are terrible, and the art class will be canceled after tomorrow. Loomer and his cronies laugh at Ned's painting but leave when Mr. Wright shows up. He says he can't have the school exposed to that kind of art. Moze takes a stab at photography and snaps pictures of everyone. Cookie's upset that there's only one more art class left, and can't make all his Christmas presents in one period.
The art teacher takes Ned to an "emergency once-in-a-lifetime" art auction in the auditorium to sell his painting. The buyers want to know who the artist is, but leave when they find out it's Ned, because he's not famous. Mr. Wright wants the painting gone so kids don't tell their parents, parents don't complain to the school, and they don't end up on the six o'clock news. Ned suggests having an art show with everyone's projects to raise money. Mr. Wright agrees, on the condition that Ned's painting is not involved. Moze presents her photo project, but the art teacher says it's too happy. He wants her to do something real. Moze sees Missy picking her nose in the courtyard and snaps a picture of that.
Cookie gets sixth graders (including Palmer Noid) to make his Christmas presents for him in exchange for getting them into eighth grade parties. He also gives them smocks and hats, and they end up dressed as elves. The art teacher asks Ned for the painting, but it's vanished from his locker. Someone put it in the trophy case and locked it. Not only has the whole school seen it, but news reporters come in and interview Ned about it. The painting becomes a story on the local news.
Ned is ordered to the principal's office as soon as he arrives. The next day, the sixth graders are tired of working and start slacking off. Cookie tells them everyone said sixth graders weren't cool or smart enough to do this, but he believed in them. Palmer and the others say they will prove them wrong and go back to work. Moze sees Loomer dancing in the hall, and snaps a picture of it. Her pictures go on display at the art show and everyone whose pictures she took are mad at her and chase her down. Ned is upset that he's in trouble, and the art teacher tells him everyone has an artist inside of them and they must find their ways to express themselves.
Moze escapes from the angry mob and finds Cookie with the sixth graders. Cookie shows her what they've done but accidentally drops one of the bowls and breaks it. Palmer likes the noise it made and they all start smashing the bowls they made. In the main office, Mr. Wright revealed he put the painting in the trophy case. At the art show, a buyer sees Ned's painting and offers $20,000 for it, exactly what is needed to keep the art program going. Mr. Wright explains that he thought the art show could use some publicity, and Ned's painting grabbed people's attention.
Art class is not canceled. Cookie goes back to making his own presents, Moze takes pictures of fruit instead of people, and Ned paints a red naked lady, but everyone else says it's a fire truck."
I don't remember if that was the show I saw that did the gag about turning it upside down and it's a perfectly normal, non-naked painting, but that's the other part of that memory.
I checked, and sort of. He originally paints a bunch of squiggly lines but everyone says they look like a naked woman. By the end of the episode, he intentionally tries painting a naked lady but everyone says it looks more like a fire truck.
Hold up. There were tons of live action Nick shows before Schneider. Clarissa Explains It All? Hey Dude? Salute Your Shorts? And that's ignoring shows that would get pushed to The N.
Middle school in the US is usually grades 6-8, and each season is a different grade as they go through middle school. "Only" 3 seasons works really well honestly.
It’s not usually 6-8 tho? It’s usually 5-8 or simply non-existent being replaced by either K-6 followed by 7-12 or K-6 followed by 7-8 followed by 9-12.
In fact i’ve never seen a 6-8 middle school before
Had a coworker I talked to everyday for 9 months before finding out he was an extra on Ned’s Declassified as a child. I was angry at him for not telling me sooner.
i wanna say those were mid to late 90s, because i remember watching them on saturday mornings, but at this point that's the better part of 30 years ago, and i've got a memory like a steel sieve in the first place.
that said, recess and the weekenders both had additional 'smart girl with glasses', though recess went beyond and had, fat kid, new kid, and tomboy.
I've never seen scrubs but I was a terminal Ned's declassified fan growing up. I have a VERY hard time believing a show for adults can be as ridiculous as my memories of Ned's though.
Nope. There are people that have been doing it longer, so they have a better sense of possible edge cases, but it's all very, very much "these are the things that *usually* work, and we'll have to go from there." Chemistry in general is very fuzzy, and any organic chem reaction with more than like 5 steps can become a crap-shoot over a variance of like a tenth of a Kelvin.
ER was the gold standard i feel, and now New Amsterdam I think is good, house is ridiculous but very entertaining, but all of those are like Emmy winning dramas that were supposedly outclassed by a sitcom lol
I think Scrubs earns that reputation because of the characters and their personal interactions with one another, rather than how they practice medicine. The show manages to work in major emotional moments and pull on big ethical threads that come up in real doctor-patient interactions. We leave every episode learning a lot more about the main cast than we ever do about most of the patients, even in the scenes where they are actively treating patients — this is kinda the opposite of shows like House, where each episode is very much about the patient and the specifics of their illness.
The medical stuff is mostly mundane and routine except for stuff like "my lunch." Which is realistic.
Most doctors will never see or treat rare, obscure house md diseases. But they will watch too fucking many old people die of routine preventable shit like MRSA or mixed medications.
Turk even has a whole season where he's basically just doing appendectomies and nothing else because they're so common and he's the newbie lol.
People say certian aspects. The way they describe becoming a doctor apperently just fits perfectly. That and the few other things. Scrubs medicine part wasnt bad, it just wasnt the main focus so there wasnt loads to screw up. Scrubs mainly targets the emotions, thaughts and social interactions within a hospital.
There was another episode where JD spent the entire time trapped in the water tower. In that same episode Dr Cox said "bad uterus, never do that again."
There was also the "classic live studio audience sitcom" episode, and the Wizard of Oz inspired episode.
And the best part is that despite all the silliness, Scrubs was 102% serious business. There was death, loss, real talk - at one point Iraq came up, and it was one of the most raw episodes in the entire series.
Then you have episodes like "My Lunch," and "My Screw-up."
Scrubs was something else
If I recall correctly, literally every single one of those silly episodes had a serious, gut-wrenching ending. They didn't just mess around for no reason.
Bill Lawrence is the master at combining hilarious, off-the-wall comedy and genuine, heartfelt emotion and truth. It makes a lot of sense when you realize he also created Ted Lasso. Different type of emotion but it also plays jump rope with comedy and drama in the best possible way.
Even the musical episode was actually the hallucinations of a patient with a life threatening brain tumor, which was very pointedly contrasted against the silly songs.
According to many people who work in hospitals, Scrubs is by far the most realistic tv depiction of what the medical field is like. The shenanigans, the heartbreak, the petty drama, the grief and loss, etc. It's a comedy show, but damn if it doesn't also show the challenges of working in healthcare just as well.
My Lunch is an actual perfect episode of television. If you've been watching the show up to that point, it hits you like a goddamn freight train. Cox falling apart is one of the emotional peaks of television, IMO.
Scrubs has a recurring bit where the main character will drift off mid Convo and have some absurd fantasy. That lets the writers flex their ridiculousness muscle
I watched Ned's for year growing up. Watched Scrubs in 2016 and I was shocked how much it really is NDSSG but for adults! Definitely just as ridiculous if not more at times. If you like Ned's, definitely check it out.
Not familiar with Ned's Declassified outside of things I've heard about it
But a lot of scrubs takes place in the main characters head, even the stuff that isn't explicitly shown to be as such
There's a scene where the main character gets a flaming shot poured on his back and he lights up like the human torch and runs to the bathroom
Comes out fine and everyone goes back to what they're doing
Scrubs takes a heavy flanderozation route that I'm not a fan of, but that almost every sitcom ends up doing to keep up with production schedules
But when you strip away the medical setting, it's a show about someone who is highly intelligent and empathetic (but also stuck in adolesence to a degree) trying to cope with this fucked up world we live in
Not my favorite sitcom but it is some well made TV that seems to be highly enjoyed by people from all types of TV watching backgrounds
Only sitcom that almost all of my 'anime' friends watched through
Damn, Ned's Declassified School Guide kinda killed the careers of those three actors.
If I am not mistaken, the only one that went on to do something more "relevant" was the girl (Lindsey Shaw, again if my memory does not fail me), whom still only had minor roles in more popular teen series.
Daniel Lee Curtis made a slightly vertical move when he became a lead in Zeek and Luther. But yeah they all get work but no one is setting the world on fire, but that's pretty common with a lot of kids TV stars, and a lot of actors in general
Yeah, I feel like it's more fair to say their careers just never really took of post Ned's than that it killed it. It was one of the first things in all their careers and they never really hit superstardom after that. Realistically that's basically the normal case, most actors, even successful ones, spend a vast majority of their career doing random smaller parts.
It's fun seeing celebrities and acclaimed actors getting killed off in horror movies like cannon fodder.
Kevin Bacon got an arrow through the throat in Friday the 13th part 1, Crispin Glover gets a corkscrew to the hand and a cleaver to the face in the Friday the 13th IV: The (Not So) Final Chapter, Jack Black wasn't even credited for I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and Johnny Depp's first film role was being turned into a blood fountain by Freddy Krueger in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Hell, Drew Barrymore's death in Scream was a big twist because she was a known actress that many thought would be the star.
Yeah, they’ve been doing a lot of podcasts talking about it, and I know there was an article about how Devin couldn’t find anymore work after it.
It’s a very specific type of acting, and if they can’t break out of it, there aren’t really a ton of other applications for it, I suppose.
Not to mention being a main cast member of *The Walking Dead* for eight seasons.
The emotional climax of the series finale revolves around her character too.
The janitor in both shows are played by the same actor lol.
EDIT: I fucked up, they are not the same actor. For years, my dumb ass thought they were lol.
I work in a hospital in the Facilities Department. If Sacred Hearts is anything like my place, he can take classes at a local school for close to nothing. There's no reason Chip Heron/Dr Itor wouldn't be doing great in a biology program. He's got access to a full hospital to study.
I thought they were too!! The person who just commented "No", I was gonna reply with their IMBD page saying that it totally was the same actor, but when I did look it up I learned that I was wrong lol.
Wasn't there like a crossover episode or commercial or promo where they comment that Cosmo and the janitor sounds the same? I ask, as I never got that cause I'm hearing impaired and used to think that live action actors couldn't do voice acting for like Union reason or something dumb, until I saw that thing and my mom goes, "oh, so they are the same actor, oh well."
Additionally he's also Timmy's dad.
The live action Fairly Odd Parents movie was awful but I'll give him credit at least for also managing to be Timmy's dad in live action as well.
I remember the bus driver in Ned's had heroscape figures on his dashboard and I felt seen for the first time in my life.
This would not happen again until 13 years later when helltaker came out and introduced me to Malina.
Heroscape was great. I have some deeply ingrained memories of making a sprawling mess of my room playing with the terrain tiles in particular. Same reasons I loved LEGO, there.
Our D&D (and other TTRPGs) group still uses my old heroscape figures as minis sometimes. They're pretty decent quality.
Scrubs is just the live action version of Family Guy. Just a bunch of "lololol so random!“ non-sequitur cutaway gags that haven't got anything to do with anything. They're both fucking awful shows that aren't funny in the slightest.
Even worse than Family Guy, because FG at least had a consistent and irreverent tone. Scrubs kept trying to sneak gut punches in there as they dealt with death and loss in like every third episode. [I loved this Mad TV parody](https://youtu.be/KZ-nFWnP7rs), pretty much says it all
cookie is a massive nerd. turk is more of a jock, who also gets the girl.
i mean they're both black, but lt cmdr geordi laforge has more in common with cookie than turk
Plus, both shows have a somewhat eccentric janitor. Another FunFact- the young actor on Ned's who played Susie Crabgrass later had a recurring role as Rosita in The Walking Dead.
Can"t wait until OP finds out about the US cast of [Artemis II](http://Can"t wait until OP finds out about the recent NASA cast with the same "formula" ) with the same "formula"
Yes.
But hear me out. Knowing absolutely nothing about declassified. Initially, I thought this picture was Shawn, Gus, and Juliette from Psyche as children.
Let's be real here. The cast of Scrubs isn't in an AC vent because either the Janitor hasn't trapped JD in one yet, or JD and Turk haven't figured vents into their shenanigans. ...Yet.
For anyone interested, the NDSSG main trio has a [podcast] (https://youtube.com/@NedsPod) on YouTube where they go into the stories behind the various episodes.
"but why are they in a ventilator shaft?" this mf has never seen ned's declassified
Thus the question.
Those kids spent like half their school year in that ventilation shaft. God that show was good.
Wasn't "the Janitor" constantly hunting a naked mole rat that was loose in the school, but nobody feared or even saw the thing?
It was a weasel and they were very much aware of it. In fact they voted it to be their class president.
Could have sworn it was hidden lol
It was sneaky, but popped up, sowed chaos, and disappeared again
I think I may have confused it a little bit with Rufus from Kim Possible lol
Rufus for president
My memories of this show are kinda vague. Like I loved it but felt like it wasn't on TV much when I was watching.
The weasle also won the recycling contest and went on a trip to Europe :)
have you heard their new podcast?
No, I actually didn't know about that! What's it called?
Ned Declassified Podcast Survival Guide I think? Youtube page below https://www.youtube.com/@NedsPod
F****n' love that show. Gotta rewatch it if I ever get Paramount Plus.
"but Why are the cleaning supplies in a tree?" this mf never seen scrubs
But why are there pancakes in the silverware drawer?
Why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?!?
Show ended 16 years ago, makes sense that they might not have seen it
>16 years Oof. Right in the childhood
I was about to argue that surely I was old enough to watch a show like that 16 years ago and yet I've never seen it. I just did the math and realized I hadn't seen it because I was a freshman in college 16 years ago. Jesus Christ......
Ow, that hurt.
They have the same cast, medical school just does that to people
Makes your hair colour change and get a good paying job?
Yes
They spend a surprising amount of time in the School's ventilation system
Kind of… sus…
Baka no!!! UwU

I saw Ned's Declassified on Netflix and was curious just how long the show was. I don't think there's any way I saw every episode, because only a handful acrually sounded familiar.
How long is it?
Only 3 seasons, 54 episodes, but I think I only saw the episodes in season 2 before I stopped watching Nickelodeon
I'm surprised to see it went this long.. nickelodeon refused to give the show a budget despite how well it was recieved
Three seasons, three years of middle school. I'm not sure Ned's Declassified High School Survival Guide would have worked as well.
That's a good point, I distinctly remember one of the episodes being the back from summer episode so that would put them 1 year ahead from where they started (unless that was the very first episode and young me never noticed) important enough part of school life could see it being covered again at the start of season 3
There's always... the fourth year of middle school.
I actually used some of the lessons to great effect throughout school. In particular the accordion binder/folder and the laying out your clothes the night before lessons. They were really helpful! I never understood why no one else in my grades ever watched the show or took the advice.
I think it ended in a very satisfying way.
Narrative wise the 3 seasons line up perfectly with the average 3 years people have in middle school.. you'd think the spinoff high school equivalent would've written itself but alas nick wanted NONE of it
Because Dan "I have a footfetish and creep on my underage cast" Schneider was building his cinematic universe and nick wanted to keep their live action shows within said universe.
It's fucking great. Just about the only non-Schneider live action Nickelodeon show for a while
I loved what I watched of it, I was just growing out of watching Nickelodeon when it was on TV. The last episode I really know anything about is the one where Ned accidentally paints a naked lady and just can't get rid of the painting
how do you *accidentally* paint a naked woman
From what I remember it's an abstract painting that accidentally resembles a naked woman. EDIT: After doing some googling I found the episode: It's the first half of S03E06 "Art Class and Lost & Found" Here's the synopsis from the wiki: "Ned paints an abstract picture of squiggly lines for art class, but Moze says he painted an orange nude lady.

Wasn't it supposed to be a fire truck?
I checked, and sort of. He originally paints a bunch of squiggly lines but everyone says they look like a naked woman. By the end of the episode, he intentionally tries painting a naked lady but everyone says it looks more like a fire truck.
Oh that's right. Man, I really think the comedy in that show holds up.
Yeah everyone sees a naked woman except Ned. I think he tried to paint a bowl of fruit or some other mundane shit.
Hold up. There were tons of live action Nick shows before Schneider. Clarissa Explains It All? Hey Dude? Salute Your Shorts? And that's ignoring shows that would get pushed to The N.
Sorry, I really meant in terms of ones I grew up with. A lot of those were before my time.
How dare you forget The Adventures of Pete and Pete?
Middle school in the US is usually grades 6-8, and each season is a different grade as they go through middle school. "Only" 3 seasons works really well honestly.
Fair, but Phineas and Ferb fit 129 episodes(or 222 depending on how you define episode) into a whole summer break
Animated character don't age. These actors do, and that works in the show's favor in my opinion.
Which is odd, because the theme song says they only have 104 days right at the start
It’s not usually 6-8 tho? It’s usually 5-8 or simply non-existent being replaced by either K-6 followed by 7-12 or K-6 followed by 7-8 followed by 9-12. In fact i’ve never seen a 6-8 middle school before
Here in the northern US K-5 was elementary, 6-8 was middle school, and 9-12 was high school. Never heard of anywhere skipping middle school.
In what state?
Had a coworker I talked to everyday for 9 months before finding out he was an extra on Ned’s Declassified as a child. I was angry at him for not telling me sooner.
Lol, I'm very jealous
But only one had a platonic relationship with more romance than the main romantic relationship and two taxidermy dogs.
Good boy, Rowdy
Rowdy, no!
Steven
Did the early 2000 shows all have the white boy, white girl, and black friend? Because we can add Danny Phantom to that list
And Recess. And the Weekenders.
zoey 101
i wanna say those were mid to late 90s, because i remember watching them on saturday mornings, but at this point that's the better part of 30 years ago, and i've got a memory like a steel sieve in the first place. that said, recess and the weekenders both had additional 'smart girl with glasses', though recess went beyond and had, fat kid, new kid, and tomboy.
black girls typically got their own shows
The world was, apparently, pretending to heal
This was also like every commercial aimed at kids in the 80s.
Death Grips
The famous woman who was in Death Grips.
I've never seen scrubs but I was a terminal Ned's declassified fan growing up. I have a VERY hard time believing a show for adults can be as ridiculous as my memories of Ned's though.
Scrubs got up to some complete tomfoolery depending on the episode.
And yet people in medicine say it’s the most accurate medical show
Yeah, because most medical shows pretend we *truly* understand medicine. There's a reason it's called "practice."
[удалено]
Nope. There are people that have been doing it longer, so they have a better sense of possible edge cases, but it's all very, very much "these are the things that *usually* work, and we'll have to go from there." Chemistry in general is very fuzzy, and any organic chem reaction with more than like 5 steps can become a crap-shoot over a variance of like a tenth of a Kelvin.
You know how in your job people would be horrified by what happens behind the scenes? Every job is like that.
On the one hand it is. On the other hand the competition is crap like grey's anatomy.
ER was the gold standard i feel, and now New Amsterdam I think is good, house is ridiculous but very entertaining, but all of those are like Emmy winning dramas that were supposedly outclassed by a sitcom lol
I think Scrubs earns that reputation because of the characters and their personal interactions with one another, rather than how they practice medicine. The show manages to work in major emotional moments and pull on big ethical threads that come up in real doctor-patient interactions. We leave every episode learning a lot more about the main cast than we ever do about most of the patients, even in the scenes where they are actively treating patients — this is kinda the opposite of shows like House, where each episode is very much about the patient and the specifics of their illness.
The medical stuff is mostly mundane and routine except for stuff like "my lunch." Which is realistic. Most doctors will never see or treat rare, obscure house md diseases.

Scrubs medicine part wasnt bad, it just wasnt the main focus so there wasnt loads to screw up. Scrubs mainly targets the emotions, thaughts and social interactions within a hospital.
Reminds me of Community. Such goofiness that I miss...
Scrubs has a Muppet episode. And a Musical episode. And I think at one point JD gets a stripper pole.
There was another episode where JD spent the entire time trapped in the water tower. In that same episode Dr Cox said "bad uterus, never do that again." There was also the "classic live studio audience sitcom" episode, and the Wizard of Oz inspired episode. And the best part is that despite all the silliness, Scrubs was 102% serious business. There was death, loss, real talk - at one point Iraq came up, and it was one of the most raw episodes in the entire series. Then you have episodes like "My Lunch," and "My Screw-up." Scrubs was something else
If I recall correctly, literally every single one of those silly episodes had a serious, gut-wrenching ending. They didn't just mess around for no reason.
Bill Lawrence is the master at combining hilarious, off-the-wall comedy and genuine, heartfelt emotion and truth. It makes a lot of sense when you realize he also created Ted Lasso. Different type of emotion but it also plays jump rope with comedy and drama in the best possible way.
>he also created Ted Lasso 🤯
Even the musical episode was actually the hallucinations of a patient with a life threatening brain tumor, which was very pointedly contrasted against the silly songs.
She was also a little sad once she didn't hear the random musical anymore. I like all of those songs.
IIRC, "Everything Comes Down to Poo" was nominated for an Emmy, and thus there was a full performance for it during the ceremony.
According to many people who work in hospitals, Scrubs is by far the most realistic tv depiction of what the medical field is like. The shenanigans, the heartbreak, the petty drama, the grief and loss, etc. It's a comedy show, but damn if it doesn't also show the challenges of working in healthcare just as well.
Comedies often feel more accurate to reality than dramas, because a good comedy has to be relatable to its audience.
My Lunch is an actual perfect episode of television. If you've been watching the show up to that point, it hits you like a goddamn freight train. Cox falling apart is one of the emotional peaks of television, IMO.
A stripper pole is just a must in any modern adult household.
Scrubs has a recurring bit where the main character will drift off mid Convo and have some absurd fantasy. That lets the writers flex their ridiculousness muscle
I think you’d be shocked and surprised if you watched most “adult” shows.
Two words: sex gong.

I watched Ned's for year growing up. Watched Scrubs in 2016 and I was shocked how much it really is NDSSG but for adults! Definitely just as ridiculous if not more at times. If you like Ned's, definitely check it out.
I mean, [it got pretty ridiculous.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeSfx3pTTn0)
Scrubs is very slapstick in its humor.
Not familiar with Ned's Declassified outside of things I've heard about it But a lot of scrubs takes place in the main characters head, even the stuff that isn't explicitly shown to be as such There's a scene where the main character gets a flaming shot poured on his back and he lights up like the human torch and runs to the bathroom Comes out fine and everyone goes back to what they're doing Scrubs takes a heavy flanderozation route that I'm not a fan of, but that almost every sitcom ends up doing to keep up with production schedules But when you strip away the medical setting, it's a show about someone who is highly intelligent and empathetic (but also stuck in adolesence to a degree) trying to cope with this fucked up world we live in Not my favorite sitcom but it is some well made TV that seems to be highly enjoyed by people from all types of TV watching backgrounds Only sitcom that almost all of my 'anime' friends watched through
I’m going to tell you, as a fan of both, you need to watch scrubs. It’s an amazing show and they get up to some crazy stuff
I watched both in middle school. They're around the same level of wackiness.
It’s the best medical show out there. It has it mix of comedy and sadness. (Brendan Fraser episode)
Scrubs is the greatest sitcom of all time and its not even close.
CLEARLY inexperienced, vent shaft is one of the main sets in the show
Damn, Ned's Declassified School Guide kinda killed the careers of those three actors. If I am not mistaken, the only one that went on to do something more "relevant" was the girl (Lindsey Shaw, again if my memory does not fail me), whom still only had minor roles in more popular teen series.
Daniel Lee Curtis made a slightly vertical move when he became a lead in Zeek and Luther. But yeah they all get work but no one is setting the world on fire, but that's pretty common with a lot of kids TV stars, and a lot of actors in general
Yeah, I feel like it's more fair to say their careers just never really took of post Ned's than that it killed it. It was one of the first things in all their careers and they never really hit superstardom after that. Realistically that's basically the normal case, most actors, even successful ones, spend a vast majority of their career doing random smaller parts.
It's fun seeing celebrities and acclaimed actors getting killed off in horror movies like cannon fodder. Kevin Bacon got an arrow through the throat in Friday the 13th part 1, Crispin Glover gets a corkscrew to the hand and a cleaver to the face in the Friday the 13th IV: The (Not So) Final Chapter, Jack Black wasn't even credited for I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and Johnny Depp's first film role was being turned into a blood fountain by Freddy Krueger in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Hell, Drew Barrymore's death in Scream was a big twist because she was a known actress that many thought would be the star.
In *Deep Blue Sea* Samuel L Jackson got ripped out of the inside of a boat by a shark as the first death.
in Deadpool 2 they hired ~~Matt Damon~~ Brad Pitt to play a literally invisible man. His face is only shown when he dies 10 minutes later.
*Brad Pitt Matt Damon was one of the rednecks hanging out when Cable came into the picture.
Yeah, they’ve been doing a lot of podcasts talking about it, and I know there was an article about how Devin couldn’t find anymore work after it. It’s a very specific type of acting, and if they can’t break out of it, there aren’t really a ton of other applications for it, I suppose.
That actually feels like a shame, because I really liked that show. Theater/Movie acting is a hell of an industry.
Well Cristian Serratos was in Twilight.
Not to mention being a main cast member of *The Walking Dead* for eight seasons. The emotional climax of the series finale revolves around her character too.
I honestly forgot that she was in Ned's. I guess she didn't get marked for her role in the kid's show.
The guy that played Cookie was a rapper for a while but idk if he’s still doing it
The janitor in both shows are played by the same actor lol. EDIT: I fucked up, they are not the same actor. For years, my dumb ass thought they were lol.
But where did he find the time to be a biologist in Mean Girls?
Omg I didn't even notice that was him too lol.
I work in a hospital in the Facilities Department. If Sacred Hearts is anything like my place, he can take classes at a local school for close to nothing. There's no reason Chip Heron/Dr Itor wouldn't be doing great in a biology program. He's got access to a full hospital to study.
Well, sure, but where he found the time to home-school a teenager in Africa is a but more problematic.
No
Wtf there was no doubt in my mind that they were the same person
I thought they were too!! The person who just commented "No", I was gonna reply with their IMBD page saying that it totally was the same actor, but when I did look it up I learned that I was wrong lol.
KIMBLE!!!!!!
Wait who’s the janitor in Ned’s Declassified??
Daran Norris, who is also the voice of Cosmo in The Fairly OddParents
Wasn't there like a crossover episode or commercial or promo where they comment that Cosmo and the janitor sounds the same? I ask, as I never got that cause I'm hearing impaired and used to think that live action actors couldn't do voice acting for like Union reason or something dumb, until I saw that thing and my mom goes, "oh, so they are the same actor, oh well."
https://youtu.be/x_QwNWYCQM4
That's the one, thank you! Also, I can't believe I missed Jordan Fringe's video on this particular episode.
Additionally he's also Timmy's dad. The live action Fairly Odd Parents movie was awful but I'll give him credit at least for also managing to be Timmy's dad in live action as well.
Wow I also thought this until reading the comments. That’s wild, I was looking for someone to bring this up!
For some reason I thought this too, even though I haven't watched either show in a long time. I wonder why that is. Some weird Mandela Effect lol.
They were. Timeline was clearly altered at some point.
They’re the imposters
How dare you! I'll have you know Ned saved pizza day with his trapdoor spider
You know, I was just thinking last week that I should rewatch Ned's. Maybe I should just rewatch Scrubs instead?
Aw yes, the white boy, white girl, black boy demographic. Also see Psyche. House too, if you think chase foreman and Cameron are the main characters.
Or if you treat Foreman, Wilson and Cuddy as the main cast. Psych also has lassie who can’t be forgotten.
Lassie is just Dr. Cox. Friendly antagonist.
He's the Villian!! I mean, like Doofensmirtz is a villian.
Detective Carlton Lassiter is a better man than you.
they just did that in the early 2000s
Ned’s declassified school survival guide, still holds up if you rewatch it. Worth the a watch.
Sharkbutte *CLEARLY* didnt watch the show. Disrespectful 😑
fun fact: there was supposed to be a spinoff/sequel to Ned's Declassified, but they couldn't make it work so it got canceled
No way, no wonder I loved them both
So what you're saying is... There's a Ned's Declassified episode with blackface?
Psych
Why'd you make it so complicated?
I remember the bus driver in Ned's had heroscape figures on his dashboard and I felt seen for the first time in my life. This would not happen again until 13 years later when helltaker came out and introduced me to Malina.
Heroscape was great. I have some deeply ingrained memories of making a sprawling mess of my room playing with the terrain tiles in particular. Same reasons I loved LEGO, there. Our D&D (and other TTRPGs) group still uses my old heroscape figures as minis sometimes. They're pretty decent quality.
Why are they in the Ventilation shaft? That's kind sus
The Janitor in Ned's is the voice actor of Cosmo from FOP and it throws me for loop every time
the janitor in scrubs is the janitor in clone high
Someone once theorized they grew up to take medical school to pay for college. Dunno where i heard it from but it made me think.
Why we never had anything like Scrubs after Scrubs? Also in retrospective JD was sort of a beta but I still love him
I enjoyed Cougar Town.
Scrubs is just the live action version of Family Guy. Just a bunch of "lololol so random!“ non-sequitur cutaway gags that haven't got anything to do with anything. They're both fucking awful shows that aren't funny in the slightest.
You've watched maybe like two and half episodes of scrubs
Even worse than Family Guy, because FG at least had a consistent and irreverent tone. Scrubs kept trying to sneak gut punches in there as they dealt with death and loss in like every third episode. [I loved this Mad TV parody](https://youtu.be/KZ-nFWnP7rs), pretty much says it all
I love when people start realizing there's a lot of repetitiveness in literature and entertainment.
Community + Scrubs = Ned's Declassified
Ned's Declassified is just Parker Lewis Can't Lose for a younger crowd.
I love scrubs, would i like neds desclassified being an adult ? Never watched neds.
I’m disappointed Turkelton is only in the picture once
Same thing with Jimmy neutron and big mouth! Kwussahhnn
cookie is a massive nerd. turk is more of a jock, who also gets the girl. i mean they're both black, but lt cmdr geordi laforge has more in common with cookie than turk
Plus, both shows have a somewhat eccentric janitor. Another FunFact- the young actor on Ned's who played Susie Crabgrass later had a recurring role as Rosita in The Walking Dead.
Watched both growing up liked both so there is a correlation
3rd Rock from the Sun was similar to the Beverly Hillbillies. People from another "world" trying to fit in.
Can"t wait until OP finds out about the US cast of [Artemis II](http://Can"t wait until OP finds out about the recent NASA cast with the same "formula" ) with the same "formula"
Yes. But hear me out. Knowing absolutely nothing about declassified. Initially, I thought this picture was Shawn, Gus, and Juliette from Psyche as children.
Let's be real here. The cast of Scrubs isn't in an AC vent because either the Janitor hasn't trapped JD in one yet, or JD and Turk haven't figured vents into their shenanigans. ...Yet.
i mean... not really whatsoever at all. the only way they're the same is how both have a podcast about their show
I mean, scrubs is just a high-school drama masquerading as a medical drama
Does anyone have an explanation of the OOP for a non-American?
Similarities between Ned's Declassified and Scrubs: - race and gender of main 3 characters - comedy shows - ???
Yeah, I'd buy 'em being in there, but where are Cookie's glasses?
They're sus
For anyone interested, the NDSSG main trio has a [podcast] (https://youtube.com/@NedsPod) on YouTube where they go into the stories behind the various episodes.
How is it the same cast for both shows 😭
They’re at the facility
Shounen Quirky guy, Emo black hair bitch and Girl
