Noah Knows Best is an American sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon from October 7 to December 17, 2000. The series was canceled with five unaired episodes out of thirteen produced, due to low ratings. Four of the five unaired episodes aired in the UK following the show's cancellation in the US. The show starred Phillip Van Dyke as the title character, Noah. The show was recorded at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida and was the last sitcom of its kind to be taped there as the concept was thought to be too outdated by its time of premiering. It was one of the last shows to premiere on Nickelodeon's Saturday Night block, SNICK.

History

The show only lasted for two months on Nickelodeon, from October to December 2000. The poor ratings resulted in the quick cancellation of the show. Creator Ken Lipman, co-creator of The Secret World of Alex Mack, stated once in an interview that creative differences were the reason the show did not last long.^[1] As he says regarding the inspiration for the show:

After 78 episodes of Alex, I was a little bored with the heightened reality/sci-fi/gimmicky aspect of the show and had felt the reason that it worked and resonated with kids was more about the characters than the powers. I also am a city guy, grew up in NYC, and really wanted to do a contemporary, urban, single-camera comedy that took place in NY. Noah was something I really wanted to try and even though it was a different idea for Nick, and they didn’t warm to it immediately, I appreciated when they green lit for pilot.
