Ep 4. Seating/Tryouts

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide is a show that follows the adventures of Ned and his two best friends, Moze and Cookie, as they navigate the perilous waters of middle school. In this particular episode, entitled Seating/Tryouts, the trio must confront two distinct challenges in order to survive the school year.

The first challenge, seating, gives the students of James K. Polk middle school nightmares. With its constantly changing arrangements, seating can make or break a school year for the average student. But Ned's got a plan to outsmart the system - a foolproof method that he's tested on his own disgruntled classmates. Alongside Moze and Cookie, Ned's on a mission to teach the rest of their fellow students to take control of their own seating destinies.

The second challenge, tryouts, is an annual obstacle for sports enthusiasts who dream of making the school's teams. With the help of the school's coach, Ned manages to convince Mr. Chopsaw (the man in charge of the tryouts) to let him observe the selection process. It's not long before Ned realizes that the system is flawed and unfair, and he sets about to expose the truth and fix it once and for all.

With their trademark dedication and ingenuity, Ned and his friends tackle both problems head-on, determined to come out on top. Filled with humorous scenes, witty dialogue, and relatable characters, Seating/Tryouts is a classic episode of one of the best tween shows of all time.
