100 Things to Do Before High School

I just watched an episode today and I'm a little creep-ed out. This show is EXACTLY like Ned's Declassified. The story lines are the same and even the sound effects are the EXACT same. The main girl character resembles Mose while the colored boy character is basically a mini-Cookie. Just like the Janitor in Ned's Declassified, the Counselor leaves his duties to help the trio accomplish a task or mission.

This show parallels with Ned's Declassified so much so that it is upsetting. Are the ideas running dry? Did the creators have so little originality left? Or did they think their audience would not remember Ned's Declassified and that they would be able to slide by with the show's copy.

The show isn't too bad and I enjoy it just a little. However, there's something I found that made me wonder if I was right and apparently other users on here agreed. This show copied Ned's Declassified! I am a fan of Ned's declassified for a very long time!! It's an interesting show. I found the angles it was shot and the background music to be exactly the same as Ned's Declassified!! They basically have the same concept and the characters are almost the same. I couldn't believe I wasn't the only one thinking so. I understand that in the old show the characters gotten old and the producers thought it was a good idea to run a similar show! They should change it just a little! Ned's Declassified was definitely in my time frame when I was entering middle school. This show doesn't need to copy, just make a bit more modern.

A parent of preteens occasionally finds himself watching such drivel. Never mind the fact that nearly every aspect of the series seems to have been lifted bodily from "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" (perhaps the producers felt their viewers wouldn't be familiar with that decade-old show). The political correctness is truly revolting and renders the entire scenario unbelievable. Of course, the white male protagonist has to have a black best friend and a female best friend. I can deal with the girl, but the black friend is unlikely, made profoundly more so by said friend's ghettoish mannerisms. Crispo wouldn't be caught dead with this guy were he a real boy. Next, we find out that the African-American fellow is a "genius" and "the smartest kid in the school," but presently we find that he is a study animal. A true genius never studies, as paying attention in class and reviewing one's notes once before an exam more than suffices. These facets of profound surrealism pretty much ruined the whole show for me, even if some of the comic scenes involving the raccoon rescue, the runaway bulldozer, etc., were mildly amusing. Too bad.
