Noah Knows Best was a Nickelodeon Kid Com created by Ken Lipman (co-creator of The Secret World of Alex Mack) that aired in the fall of 2000. The series revolved around Noah Beznick (Philip Van Dyke, also was the second voice actor for Arnold) and his life and his friends and family (including his sibling rivalry with his sister Megan) while living in New York City. The series filmed 13 episodes but was canceled after 8 episodes were shown due to low ratings and creative differences. The show is an interesting piece of Nickelodeon lost media, the series never re-ran on Nickelodeon after its cancellation, outside of a couple of times on The N, now known as TeenNick. The remaining five episodes were never aired at all on Nickelodeon US, but they did in Russia and the entire series is able to be found online — dubbed in Russian.
The series was one of the last sitcoms to be filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, and one the last shows to premiere during the SNICK block.
Tropes in this series include
- Big Applesauce: The series is set in New York City (though was filmed in Florida).
- The Bully: Zeke, who was shipped off to military school after getting into a fight with Noah. He's not over it.
- Precocious Crush: DJ crushes on Noah's older sister Megan.
- Sibling Rivalry: Noah and Megan, whose conflict drives the series. It's to the point where they attend different schools, and Megan starts dating Zeke to spite Noah.
