Rusty McCabe is the favorite to win, but when Newton sees a rainbow, he thinks he'll find a pot of gold at the end. They do find the pot, but instead of gold, there's a universal remote that actually affects the universe, being able to pause time, make things go faster or slower, and so forth. Ned and Newton use it to thwart Rusty's victory, but each button only works once, so they need to get creative. They're about to win the scavenger hunt, when a group of leprechauns demand the remote back and hit the rewind button, rewinding the episode all the way back to the beginning.

EP25 Regattadamerang Dec 31, 1999

Ned has been made the coxswain of the Friendly Falls rowing team in a regatta against the neighboring town of Carty Garbageton, a filthy town founded by janitors and gas station attendants. Friendly Falls traditionally beats Carty Garbageton, by coming in second-last. Their "winning" streak is in trouble, though, when Friendly Falls loses all its money sponsoring a start-up company to sell smoke and soot from the town's old chimney factory. Many of the townspeople have to do menial work in Carty Garbageton to make the money back, but they're all fired when the town starts becoming clean. Ned then gets the idea to sell the soot to Carty Garbageton, and the town makes all its money back just in time for Friendly Falls to not come in last at the regatta.

EP26 All's Well That Hens Well Dec 31, 1999

Ned is showing a health science project to his class that could make or break his passing grade, a film he's made to show where food comes from. The film is extremely strange, however, because of the various roles Newton plays in it: from the Hard-Boiled Chicken, source of the world's hard-boiled eggs, to the Imitation Crab, source of the world's imitation crab meat. Ned's project is initially doomed because of Newton's involvement, but Ned's teacher thinks that it was actually a creative writing project that was due the following week, for which he gets an A+. She wonders where his health science project is, and the final episode ends with Ned saying "I'll be right back," and leaving the classroom.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
suchenwi Many years ago, I occasionally watched some part of Newton episodes with my children, and I remember to this day a certain fascination. Now at age 53, finding a 3 DVD set of season 2 in the bargain bin (€1 each), 26 episodes or some 300 minutes worth, I couldn't resist. With slight hesitation I put the first disk in the player.. and ended up watching the whole bunch, slightly exhausted at 1am.This is powerful stuff with many surprising, weird but good ideas, which I tend to rank close to Simpsons or Futurama. Or, in a quite different vein, Ned and Newton are somehow comparable to Charlie Brown and Snoopy (also, the simple drawing style, Ned's free-flying eyebrows and hairs...). However, I can't but agree to one commenter at TV.com that Newton has some striking similarity with the genie in Disney's Aladdin - blue, voice-imitating shape-shifter.Seemingly simple kiddie cartoons, with a lot of content that it takes an adult or two to really appreciate... cultural references, especially to movies, lasting just a split-second. Blink and you missed it.Of last night's tour de force, I had the strongest impressions from the episodes dealing with alphabet soup, Bremen, New York alligators, and a giant shoe. But I'll re-watch them soon, hoping to understand more of the plentiful subtle allusions :^)
Goat Boy This is one of those cartoons that you feel is squarely aimed at teenagers, as they will get the most out of all the oblique pop culture references, the fast-paced slapstick, and the sheer surrealism of it all!It is, however, truly enjoyable. Worth getting up for without a doubt!
Know it all There had never been a better show about a giant six foot newt harassing a big-eared child. And that speaks volumes!"Ned's Newt" is one of those shows you never read about in the paper, but it's still one of the best animated television shows out there.Ned is cute and all, he really is, but he doesn't hold a candle to the real star of the show - Newton the newt! This little purple entity can become hilariously funny once fed Zippo. And when that thing grows, there will be no end to the word play and the pop culture jokes. It's like seeing "The Mask" meet "Ren and Stimpy", only much much better.So if you're looking for a laugh, look no further! It's not just an animated show, it's fun for kids and adults alike, only in different ways.The kids will enjoy the fast pace animation and the slapstick humor, while as the adults will find references to Shakespeare and Bill Gates spleen rupturing hilarious!See it!
