'''''Noah Knows Best''''' was a short-lived sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2001 and was one of Nickelodeon's shortest-lived television series. Starring Phillip Van Dyke, the show revolved around Noah Beznick as he goes through life in New York City. It was one of the last TV shows to have been filmed at the now-defunct Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando. Many considered ''Noah Knows Best'' to be the male version of ''Clarissa Explains It All''. Due to the style of comedy that ''Clarissa Explains It All'' used being outdated, many saw ''Noah Knows Best'' to be boring, and this caused the show to suffer. Due to low ratings and viewership, ''Noah Knows Best'' was cancelled after eight episodes leaving five episodes unaired in English.

The cast of Noah Knows Best.

Status: Found: (Russian)
Partially Lost: (English)

Date found: 27 Jul 2018 (Russian)

Found by: NoahKnowsBesteps (Russian)

Noah Knows Best was a short-lived sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2001 and was one of Nickelodeon's shortest-lived television series. Starring Phillip Van Dyke, the show revolved around Noah Beznick as he goes through life in New York City. It was one of the last TV shows filmed at the now-defunct Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando. Many considered Noah Knows Best the male version of Clarissa Explains It All. Due to the style of comedy that Clarissa Explains It All used being outdated, many saw Noah Knows Best to be boring, and this caused the show to suffer. Due to low ratings and viewership, Noah Knows Best was canceled after eight episodes leaving five episodes unaired in English.

Plot

Noah Knows Best follows a teen named Noah Beznick (Phillip Van Dyke) as he balanced his social and school life. He and his sister Megan (Rachel Roth) always try to get each other into trouble. Both live with their parents in an apartment in central New York City.[1]

Time on Televsion

Noah Knows Best debuted on October 7th, 2000, and was placed on the SNICK block being the last original show to have been placed on the block at 8:30 PM.[2] The show also aired on the Russian channel ТНТ where it was dubbed over in Russian, and all thirteen episodes aired. Series creator Ken Lipman would later state in an interview that creative differences are the reason the show did not last long stating:

[Nickelodeon's] view of what the show should be, and my vision of the show was not the same and they never really matched up, which was ultimately a reason for its lack of success.[3]

Availability

Due to the very low ratings the show received, it was removed after five episodes. From 2002 to 2003, sparse reruns of Noah Knows Best ran on Noggin as part of its nighttime block for teenagers, The N; since then, no reruns have aired. No home media for Noah Knows Best was ever released. Between July 22nd and July 27th, 2018, all 13 episodes of Noah Knows Best were uploaded to Dailymotion. However, all of the episodes are in Russian and the episode titles for episodes 4 and 6 have been swapped. Currently, 10 episodes and a few clips from the English broadcast of Noah Knows Best have surfaced.

Cast

  • Phillip Van Dyke as Noah Beznick
  • Rachel Roth as Megan Beznick
  • Marcia Strassman as Martine Beznick
  • Richard Kline as Jeff Beznick
  • Dempsey Pappion as Marcus Clay
