NN was a brilliant enthusiastic show.
Its kinda like Aladdiine but its more fun show and it makes you laugh..
Newt is a comedian and Ned he's like every other white protagonist. Clumsy, anxious and tries to make a girl like him.

There had never been a better show about a giant six foot newt harassing a big-eared child. And that speaks volumes!
"Ned's Newt" is one of those shows you never read about in the paper, but it's still one of the best animated television shows out there.
Ned is cute and all, he really is, but he doesn't hold a candle to the real star of the show - Newton the newt! This little purple entity can become hilariously funny once fed Zippo. And when that thing grows, there will be no end to the word play and the pop culture jokes. It's like seeing "The Mask" meet "Ren and Stimpy", only much much better.
So if you're looking for a laugh, look no further! It's not just an animated show, it's fun for kids and adults alike, only in different ways.
The kids will enjoy the fast pace animation and the slapstick humor, while as the adults will find references to Shakespeare and Bill Gates spleen rupturing hilarious!
See it!

I remember first watching this show on Fox back in 1998. Ned Flemkin, the protagonist of the show, has a pet newt who can mutate into anything and anyone, usually something from a famous movie or TV show. The thing the makes him grow from short to large is Zippo Newt Food, which is what Ned feeds him. Newton the newt is a character that will get you laughing out loud. My nostalgia, particularly for the first season of the program, is strong and I also liked the other two seasons. Ned and Newton's adventures are hilarious.
If you're looking for a little cartoon comic relief from the '90s, Ned's Newt is the show you want to check out whether you're a pet owner or not.

Wow some people actually grew up with this show, while others don't, some people find the main character Ned to be bland and his giant newt a rip-off to the Genie (Aladdin) when in reality he's not, i find this show to be one of the best classic shows from 1997 and one of the best and funny cartoons ever created, this show is so awesome, outstanding and great for kids tv show like this, even Ned has a girl named Linda which she is cool and way better than Mertle (Lilo And Stitch), which Mertle is nothing but a bully to Lilo, the music is nice, the characters are perfect and the whole show is just a masterpiece.
This is one of those cartoons that you feel is squarely aimed at teenagers, as they will get the most out of all the oblique pop culture references, the fast-paced slapstick, and the sheer surrealism of it all!
It is, however, truly enjoyable. Worth getting up for without a doubt!
