I am 40 yrs. old and I love this show. It reminds me of a combination of Warner Bros. cartoons, old slapstick and screwball comedies. It's so good to see this show finally get the dvd treatment. The episodes included are #5-13 of the first season which are 1)Crushes/Dances 2)Sick Days/Spelling Bees 3)Rumors/Photo Day 4)Elections/Talent Shows 5)Computer Lab/Backpacks 6)Notes(which isn't listed on the back)/Best Friends 7)Day Dreaming/Gym 8)Cheaters/Bullies & 9)Emergency Drills/Late Bus. The transfers are beautiful and as good as could be hoped for. I know a lot of people will not want to buy this because it's not a complete season. Since they are only producing this on demand it is vitally important to purchase and let Amazon know that Ned's Declassified is wanted and should be released completely. The more they sell, the more likely they will be willing to release the rest.

This will not play on a newer computer. It would not play on my Vista machine with either my LG DVD writer or my Sony Blu-Ray player, due to the hardware anti-copy provisions. It will play on my XP machine, but only in my older DVD player, not my LG DVD burner. The DVD player is old enough to not have those damned restrictions.

NOTE: I finally switched my older machine to Ubuntu Linux, with the same results.

The video quality is excellent, equal to commercial DVDs. The disk art and packaging are as good as commercial DVDs as well. And the show itself is great, very funny and good-natured. Well worth buying, I hope enough people do that Amazon releases the rest of the episodes.

With the deal struck between Nickelodeon and Amazon, we finnaly have various titles being released that I thought we would never see. Thank you Amazon! Now if only you could strike the same deal with Buena Vista Home Entertainment and get titles like X-Men, Spiderman, MMPR, and Digimon in Region 1 boxsets. I would gladly pay my hard earned money for titles like that.

Ned's is a great show that I highly recommend to other families. In a lot of Nick and Disney teen shows the "comedy" is merely kids being rude to each other in witty dialogue. Not so with Ned's Declassified. It is smart and funny, the writing is creative and the actors give it 100%. Parents and kids will share 3 hours of laughter. This is an under-appreciated show and well worth the money! And the product info is wrong: This set is 217 minutes, not 120. So don't think that you aren't getting much for your money. Buy it! You'll love it!

Great news! The COMPLETE First Season of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is now available on DVD! 'Alliance' has officially released it through Canadian distribution. It is now available on Amazon.ca (Amazon's Canadian website). I just received it and the quality is excellent. Hopefully, Seasons 2 and 3 will follow soon!

We love Ned's Declassified at our house and wish someone would make DVD's all of the shows.
