Was looking into old Nick live-action shows and came across this one, it's basically a male version of Clarissa Explains it All, this was notably the last Nick show to premiere on the SNICK block and the last live-action show of it's kind to be greenlit by Nick as they felt like it was too outdated by the time it came out(as they were trying to focus more on down to earth sitcoms and less on sci-fi/fantasy stuff), five episodes were unaired(though they did air overseas as a one of the unaired episodes is on Dailymotion, unfortunately it's a foreign dubbed version) Aside from that only the first two episodes have been uploaded online.
If anyone on here has recordings of Nick in 2000 please check them and see if this show is on there.

I remember a ton of episodes of the russian dub were uploaded somewhere.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

Dailymotion was where I found that one dubbed episode, i'm just hoping we can find more episodes in English.
My theory about the unaired episodes being shown in the UK turned out to be true as the guy who uploaded these mentioned they aired there in 2000, for whatever reason episodes, 5, 7 and 13 were not not shown during that block so those are still missing in English but nevertheless it's amazing to have almost the entire show completely found.
Looking through some comments of uploads on Youtube I found out Willie Green(Alton)mentioned he had 4-5 episodes and would upload them if someone taught him how to encode
I also found out Stephanie Sessler(Alana) commented asking if anyone had more episodes of the show and mentioned that she only had a few. Unfortunately while googling her name I found out she tragically passed away in late 2021, it's too bad I didn't know about this show or her comments before then and as such didn't get the chance to ask her which episodes she had and express my appreciation to her for her great acting.
Now i'm even more determined to find every episode to honor her memory as she sounded pretty happy about the show, I posted a comment on her obituary page expressing my appreciation for her and I would encourage others to do so as well: www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/lexington-sc/stephanie-sesler-10396435

I wonder if someone could translate the Russian dub and add English subtitles to the video.

The Youtube auto-translate captions did a surprisingly competent job at that, they weren't all complete gibberish, I watched episode 13 and was actually able to get most of the plot(though some bits I could tell were mistranslated).
Talked to the guy who runs the Noah Knows Best Facebook page and he mentioned that he used to have episodes 1-5 in a storage unit but lost it along with a bunch of other Nick stuff(sounds like he used to work on the show)but he did say it might potentially be on his hard drive and that he would check, fingers crossed! He was shocked when I informed him of Stephanie's passing and mentioned she had episodes 11-13 which is great if true(perhaps she also had a storage unit, if so hopefully it's still around). He also mentioned Phillip Van Dyke(best known for voicing Arnold on Hey Arnold)had episodes 7 and 8, i'll see about contacting him to see if he still does.
Also more good news-the person who did a video with Willie G contacted me today and thanked me for reaching out and said he'd ask him, fingers crossed!

More interesting news, apparently this show actually did air reruns on "The N" from 2002 to 2003, whether or not any of those airings included the unaired episodes is unknown, still that's an avenue definitely worth exploring.
Got a bit of a good news bad news report-good news is I found some English clips online from "Three's Company" though only the portions featuring guest-star Hanson.
Bad news is Willie G's friend got back to me and unfortunately it seems like Willie lost all of his Nick stuff in storage many years ago.
Anyways here's all the clips from Three's Company I could find(it looks like one of them came from the Hanson fansite HansonHouse.com which is sadly now defunct):
Hey all - I'm the person who uploaded the ten episodes this week, just wanted to say hi and say I'm happy that the find has had such a positive reaction in different corners of the internet. It's one of the only VHS tapes I kept all these years, as more and more of my off-air collection surfaced officially. My Reddit post has a bit more context: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/1c0k4pf/found_noah_knows_best_2000_nickelodeon_sitcom_10/
I am of the belief that, short of cast and crew having copies, UK collections are the most likely source of the remaining episodes in English, as I've been able to verify (through physical TV listings magazines) that Nickelodeon UK aired at least 100 broadcasts of the show in total between November 2000 and February 2001.
This show really came and went in the US. I never recall it airing.
Yeah it only aired for a short time on SNICK in late 2000 and was briefly shown in reruns on The N from 2002 to 2003, it's very possible that The N showed the unaired episodes.
