[2]Fellows got someone named David Straiton to help him convince Nickelodeon to make the show but Nickelodeon said no because they thought it was too much like Dexter's Laboratory.

Ned’s Declassified

Big Time Rush
changeAfter Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide ended, Nickelodeon asked Fellows if he had ideas for other shows. Fellows told them he could create a spin-off called Ned’s Declassified High School Survival Guide which would be about High school.
