'''''Drake & Josh''''' is an American [[teen sitcom]] created by [[Dan Schneider]] for [[Nickelodeon]]. The series follows teenage stepbrothers Drake Parker ([[Drake Bell]]) and Josh Nichols ([[Josh Peck]]) as they live together despite their opposite personalities. [[Nancy Sullivan (American actress)|Nancy Sullivan]] and [[Jonathan Goldstein (actor)|Jonathan Goldstein]] star as Drake's mother and Josh's father, respectively, and [[Miranda Cosgrove]] plays Drake's devious younger sister. Bell performs the series' theme song, "[[I Found a Way]]", written by Bell and [[Backhouse Mike]]. |
|||
Bell and Peck previously appeared in ''[[The Amanda Show]]'', a Nickelodeon variety series created by Schneider that ran on Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2002. A sketch featuring Bell and Peck arguing over a piece of shrimp prompted network executives to cast the two actors in their own [[spin-off (media)|spin-off]], ''Drake & Josh''. The series premiered on January 11, 2004, on Nickelodeon to critical acclaim. |
|||
==Main characters== |
|||
==='''Drake Parker''' ([[Drake Bell]])=== |
|||
Drake is an attractive, untelligent prankster; but a gifted |
|||
musician. His ignorance and stupidity are a running gag in the |
|||
series. He has had more than 750 girlfriends and calls his stepfather Banana (a common trait of stepchildren), |
|||
which he picked up from Megan. Also, he seems to have new band members |
|||
every season. Drake is very talented in music and has written many |
|||
songs. He is favored by Helen DuBois, the manager of the apple pie store, |
|||
because of his good looks, but also because Helen thought Drake did all |
|||
of Josh's hard work when they both worked in the movie theater. Drake |
|||
does not excel in his studies but in "The Demonator" he appears to have |
|||
a skill for math and has a more laid-back perspective on life. |
|||
During production of the fourth season, Bell was injured during a car accident, and filming stalled for four months during his recovery. A television film, ''[[Drake & Josh Go Hollywood]]'', premiered in early 2006. A television special, ''[[Really Big Shrimp]]'', served as the series finale, and the series' final new broadcast episode aired on September 16, 2007, marking 56 episodes in 4 seasons for the show. After the finale, the network aired the one-time special ''[[Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh]]'' in 2008. |
|||
==='''Josh Nichols''' ([[Josh Peck]])=== |
|||
Josh generally serves as the comedic foil to Drake. He is though quite a ladie's man, having gone out with 6 girls in one week. Josh is often seen as the mad one, getting upset when Drake asks too many questions or if Megan teases him. One of Josh's qoutes is "If you can't get what you want, that means you haven't seen enough movies" In Season 4, Josh was trying to be a gangster to impress a celebrity (Lindsay Lohan) at the grocery store. But instead, he was accidentaly hired by Helen DuBois to work in her movie theater, for she "loves those working gangsters" Josh seems to enjoy his job, but not when Drake shows up to see a movie. |
|||
''Drake & Josh'' was a ratings success, garnering 3.2 million viewers for its premiere, and it consistently ranked as one of the most watched series in its demographic during its run. It won 2 [[Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards]], 2 [[Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards|UK Kids' Choice Awards]], and 3 [[Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards|Australian Kids' Choice Awards]] and was nominated for 7 other awards, including at the [[Young Artist Award]]s and the [[Casting Society of America]]. Other media include books, DVD and VHS releases, promotional singles, and video games based on the series. |
|||
===Megan Parker ([[Miranda Cosgrove]])=== |
|||
Megan is the newest member of Drake's band. In Season 3, she had a big crush on Josh, but decided to let it go, which she did because in Season 3, she went out with Josh's younger cousin Bob. Megan tends to be a little shy and has stated her fear of heights. Her allergies mainly consist of "boys, my mother's cookies and bad music" In Season 4, Megan was promoted by Drake to play guitar while he just sang. She seems to also have a gift with money and selling items, for she mentiones she made 100 dollars in just 1 hour at Drake's garage sale in Season 4. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
===Walter Nichols ([[Jonathan Goldstein]])=== |
|||
The series revolves around two teenage stepbrothers, Drake Parker and Josh Nichols, who live in [[San Diego, California]], with Drake's younger biological sister Megan and biological mother Audrey, and Josh's biological father Walter. Drake is cool and charismatic, having his own band and being popular with girls, yet can be narcissistic and absent-minded, while Josh is intellectual, clumsy, and awkward; yet very loving and caring. Josh starts working at a local [[movie theater]] in the second season, which becomes a key set location for the rest of the series. Despite their opposite personalities, Drake and Josh have shown multiple times throughout the series that they care deeply about each other and have each others' backs. The two boys are often involved in comedic escapades and challenges while handling various teenage problems. |
|||
Walter is Josh's father and Drake step-father; a [[meteorologist]] who often is wrong about the weather. His rival is Bruce Winchill. Walter is often clumsy,{{Fact|date=September 2007}} out of date,{{Fact|date=September 2007}} even seemingly empty-headed (for example, he believed the [[RMS Titanic|Titanic]] to be a "fake" ship), and as a result lacks a strict handle on Drake and Josh. Sometimes he likes to lay on the couch and read cat magazines. He also threw up after he asked Audrey out. |
|||
==Cast== |
|||
===Audrey Parker-Nichols ([[Nancy Sullivan]])=== |
|||
{{Main|List of Drake & Josh characters}} |
|||
Audrey is Drake's mother who works as a foot massager. She often is washing her hands and reminding the boys to keep hand sanatizer, probaly because of her job. She is known to be a little clumsy, as she mentions that as a child, Audrey broke her ankle by tiptoeing downstiars on Christmas Eve. Audrey often ends up burning a lot of the food she cooks, for she says she didn't go to college. Even though of that, Audrye cna be very helpful and has the ability to recite the Gettysburg Adress very fast. |

:Dr. Jeff Glazer lives across the street from Drake and Josh. He is always called on whenever a serious emergency happens at their house. Although he seems kind during the medical procedure, he is always charging a high bill for his services. |
|||
The profession of the family's mother is never revealed on the show, although Schneider had written dialogue into the series finale that would have revealed her profession at a catering business. The scene was filmed, but Schneider ultimately chose to remove it during editing. Schneider said, "On the one hand, I thought it was funny to ''finally'' reveal it, so casually, in the ''very last'' episode – there was something ironic about that. But then I decided that, because fans always seemed to have fun trying to figure it out (what 'Mom's' name and job were), it would be better to 'keep the bit going' for eternity, by ''never'' revealing it in any episode."<ref name=Shocking/> |
|||
* '''Trevor (Played by [[Taran Killam]])''' |
|||
:Trevor Wilson is one of Drake's friends. He was also a part of the ''The Amanda Show'' cast. He appears to be as unintelligent as [[Homer Simpson]] or [[Michael Kelso]]. He gave Drake and Josh a dune buggy, which he "fixed" himself. His parents make him take a head examination every month. He is often mentioned, but so far he has only appeared in "[[Dune Buggy (Drake & Josh episode)|Dune Buggy]]". He also had a [[Chevrolet El Camino]] made in 1977, which gets engulfed in flames at the end of "[[The Wedding]]". He only appears in the episode ''Dune Buggy'' but is mentioned a lot the rest of the series. |

|||
* In the dune buggy episode before the TV breaks as Josh is watching an old Tony Pajamas routine (a sketch starring both Bell and Peck) from the Amanda Show can be heard in the background. |
|||
* In the episode where Drake & Josh are making salsa, and Megan wins the plasma screen TV, the musical background of the environmental show is an instrumental "Wait For You" originally by [[Elliott Yamin]]. |
|||
* In several episodes, fake website [[domain names]] are mentioned like [http://Skinillnesses.com Skinillnesses.com], [http://GetABus.org GetABus.org], [http://whatswrongwithmybody.com whatswrongwithmybody.com], [http://meganparker.com meganparker.com], etc. These websites are also mentioned in another Schneider's Bakery show, [[Zoey 101]], which is why the domains redirect to the Zoey 101 page on Nick.com. Currently, they redirect to the Show List on Nick. |
|||
* In the episode "[[Number One Fan]]", Drake says "Who wants to go to Chuckie Cheddars?" as a parody of [[Chuck E. Cheese]]. |
|||
* In the episode "[[Battle of Panthatar]]", Josh turns on the television and hears the ''[[Hannah Montana (TV series)|Hannah Montana]]'' theme song, but the announcer identifies the show as "Suzannah Louisiana" as a parody. |
|||
* In the episode where Drake and Josh bet each other that they would not eat [[candy]] or [[play]] [[video games]], respectively, Josh was tempted by the "GameSphere" (parody of the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. This may also be a reference to the [[South Park]] episode Towelie where the boys get a gaming console called Okama "Gamesphere"), a fictional [[game console]]. The controller shown for this console was an [[N64]] controller and another was a third-party controller for an [[Xbox]]. They are also shown playing with PS2 more often. Josh also plays a [[Game Boy Advance SP]]. While supposedly playing a [[Mario]] game, Josh says "Take that, red turtle shell!" and Drake says "Jump the mushroom." Then Josh says "I'll jump the mushroom when it's mushroom jumpin' time!" Turtle shells and mushrooms are common in Mario games. Also in this episode, Drake walks into the bedroom and finds candy everywhere. Josh is wearing a top hat and has a giant candy cane. He is dressed like Willy Wonka from the movies [[Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]], and [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film)| Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]. |
|||
* In the episode where Mrs. Hayfer assigns Drake to have a little brother, two cultural references are present, one of them mentioned twice. In one scene, Drake and Josh's "little brother" Sammy are pretending to be on a cooking show. Megan then shows up and asks "What's it called, the 'Iron Boob'?," referencing [[Iron Chef]]. Drake later walks in and asks the same exact question, with Megan walking by saying "My joke". Another reference is when Drake buys tickets to a "Blaine Darbey" magic show. This is a possible reference to the popular street magician [[David Blaine]]. |
|||
* Many times Drake and Josh refer to people playing or taking part in the show. In "[[The Tree House]]" Megan says their parents are out with the Schneiders and Josh says "stupid Schneiders," referencing [[Dan Schneider]], who is on the crew. In the episode Drake says he wished he had an [[inside out]] burger. |
|||
* In the episode 'Megan's New Teacher', Megan walks into Drake and Josh's room to get her 'Pentendo GS', a parody of the [[Nintendo DS]], although when she picks it up, it is a Game Boy Advance SP. |
|||
* In [[Drake & Josh Go Hollywood]] Josh makes several references to his ''G-O'', an MP3 player in the show. However, in the episode where Josh starts working at The Premiere, he makes a references to the new "iBot," a parody of the [[iPod]]. |
|||
* Also in Drake and Josh Go Hollywood, characters are playing the [[PlayStation Portable|Sony PSP]]: |
|||
:* Drake, when Audrey and Walter leave for their cruise |
|||
:* Megan, when she is on the plane |
|||
* In many of the Drake and Josh episodes, Drake and Josh drink a soda called "Dr. Fizz", "Mountain Fizz" and "Moca Cola" most likely referencing the popular sodas [[Dr Pepper]], [[Mountain Dew]] and [[Coca-Cola]]. |
|||
* Dr. Phyllis is a parody of [[Dr. Phil]] and it is also in Brandy and Mr.Whiskers. |
|||
* In the The Great Doheny episode, Henry Doheny is a parody of [[Harry Houdini]]. Houdini actually claimed that he would one day come back from the dead, which is what Doheny does. |
|||
* In Helen's Surgery, The Groove Machine is an obvious parody of [[Dance Dance Revolution]]. |
|||
* In Helen's Surgery, the show Happy Times is a parody of [[Good Times]] and [[Happy Days]] |
|||
* In The Gary Grill, The Gary Coleman Grill is a parody of The [[George Foreman Grill]], which in turn is named after the famous [[George Foreman|boxer]]. |
|||
* In the [[Megan's Revenge]] episode, OR is a parody of [[ER (TV series)|ER]] (also, OR probably stands for Operation Room). |
|||
* When Drake is referring to girls as candy, he talks about a Megathon Bar, which is probably a parody of the Marathon Bar. |
|||
* In numerous episodes, an [[Aerosmith]], an [[Ataris]], [[Pearl Jam]], [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], and a [[John Mayer]] poster are found hanging on Drake and Josh's bedroom wall. A [[Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards]] poster can be found as well, but the word "bastard" is censored by two bumper stickers. |
|||
* Drake and Josh use a laptop with a pear on it, a parody of [[Apple Computer|Apple inc]]. This same parody is used in Zoey 101, the upcoming show [[iCarly]], [[Danny Phantom]], and in one episode of [[The Fairly OddParents]]. They have been shown in pink, blue, and grey. |
|||
* In numerous episodes, they refer to Galaxy Wars, an obvious parody of [[Star Wars]]. In a few episode they even use prop [[lightsabers]](which appear to be [[Master Replicas#Force FX|Master Replica Force FX]] lightsabers). They refer to Princess Oblongata, a parody of [[Queen Amidala]] or Princess Leia Organa. Galaxy Wars is also referenced in Zoey 101. |
|||
* The episode "[[I Love Sushi]]" is a homage to [[I Love Lucy]], right down to the end credits, in which a scene where Drake and Josh are working in the sushi factory, is done in black and white with a heart surrounding the film, with a Latin version of the theme song played. The name of the factory that Drake and Josh worked in, Ball & Vance Fish Corp., is a reference to [[Lucille Ball]] and [[Vivian Vance]] who played Lucy and Ethel on I Love Lucy. The scene where the boys try to package sushi but can't keep up with it is a homage to an I Love Lucy episode (Job Switching). |
|||
* The Episode "Driver's License," Drake mentions Inside Out Burger which is a parody of [[In-N-Out Burger]]. The same parody is used in the Tree House episode. |
|||
* Also in Drake And Josh Go Hollywood, When Drake is driving Megan to the Airport with Josh, Josh is reviewing some of Drake's videos and the video he was watching in the car was the video in the Spring Fling episode of Zoey 101, This is video is also shown when Josh shows the Guy Drakes video in the men's room. |
|||
* In the episode "The Drake and Josh Inn", the Four Schneiders Hotel is a parody of the Four Seasons Hotel, and to the creator of the show Dan Schneider. |
|||
* In the end of the episode "The Peruvien Puff Pepper" Megan goes in her room and starts watching Drake and Josh clean up the kitchen, she says, "boob and boober" referencing to [[Dumb and Dumber]]. |
|||
* In the end of the episode "Steered Straight" Drake and Josh are eating with Megan and their mother at a BF Wang's, an obvious reference to popular Chinese restaurant, [[PF Chang's]] |
|||
* The show is filmed at [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] on Sunset, 6230 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA |
|||
* In the movie [[Drake and Josh Go Hollywood]], when Josh is beginning to read a magazine, there is a news flash. There is a man saying, "I'm standing here in front of the US Treasury (which is actually the Capitol building)..." He is obviously a reporter, and the station he is reporting for is called "CCN", an obvious parody of the popular news station [[CNN]]. |
|||
* Mystic Mountain is a parody of [[Magic Mountain]]. |
|||
* In the episode "[[Who's Got Game]]" the record store has many posters, including ones for [[Three Days Grace]], [[Gorillaz]], [[Jack's Mannequin]], and [[Korn]]. |
|||
* In two episodes, Drake and Josh mentioned that they are going to watch Canadian Idol, obviously a parody of American Idol (this could also be a nod to the actual Canadian Idol show that airs in Canada.) |
|||
* In the movie Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp, one of the titles on the Premiere Theater's marquee is "Now She's Carly", which refers to Miranda Cosgrove on her new show, called iCarly where she plays Carly. Another title is "Four Great Seasons" which refers to the four seasons that have so far passed during the show. |
|||
* In the movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood, Megan is reading a Magazine called Persons, a parody of the People Magazine |
|||
* In Drake & Josh: Really Big Shrimp where Josh says " I'm rocking my Daka Puffs right now" Daka Puffs is a parody of Nike Shox |
|||
* In the episode Helicopper, the two young police girls that appear when Drake buys the 1000th ticket name two movie parodies: 'Dreamscope', a parody of [[Dreamworks]], and also Paramore, a parody of [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]. Also, in Drake & Josh Go Hollywood, while the brothers are on their way to Drake's live TRL performance, the two pass by the actual entrance to the [[Paramount Pictures]] studio in the red Dodge Viper. |
|||
* In the episode Paging Dr. Drake it appears to be that Walter is reading a Newsweek magazine in the hospital, but you can only see the word News, it appears to be that Condoleezza Rice's face is on the cover, the magazine is also seen again in the episode Theater Thug. |
|||
* The Premiere often has posters parodying actual movies, such as [[There's Something About Mary|There's Nothing About Gary]], A Walk to Forget, [[Planet of the Apes|Janet of the Grapes]] and [[Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back|The Empress Fights Back]]. Also, in one of the episodes, Drake asks whether they should see She's the Dude, a parody of [[She's The Man]] which stars Amanda Bynes, star of The Amanda Show on which Drake and Josh also starred. |
|||
* It is mentioned in the episode Honor Council that Drake and Josh have a pool(which Drake filled with lobsters). But in the episode The Drake and Josh Inn a tourist says they need more water in the pool to Josh, but could probably be referring to a pool inside the house. |
|||
* Also in Paging Dr. Drake, [[UCLA]] and [[Harvard]] are mentioned. |
|||
* In Really Big Shrimp, Spin City Records is a possible parody of [[Led Zeppelin]]'s Swan Song Records |
|||

|||
* In the episode "[[List of Drake & Josh episodes|First Crush]]", Drake and Josh perform in a coffee shop called "The Brew Note," which parodies a popular chain of [[jazz]] clubs named "[[The Blue Note]]". |
|||
*In the 'Pilot Episode',(the first episode), in the scene where Josh is getting warmed up to fight Drake's girlfriend's ex-boyfriends, Eric, (the nerd) can be seen in the background |
|||
*In the episode "Drew and Jerry" when Drake askes Josh if they are still going to the premier of Ghost monsters, Ghost Monsters is an obvious parody of [[Ghost Busters]]. |
|||
--Goof-- |
|||

In March 2019, Bell announced that he and Peck were working on a ''Drake & Josh'' revival that would feature both of them reprising their roles.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Respers |first=Lisa |date=25 March 2019 |title=New 'Drake & Josh' project isn't |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/25/entertainment/drake-josh-project/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401060048/https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/25/entertainment/drake-josh-project/index.html |archive-date=April 1, 2019 |access-date=24 May 2019 |work=[[CNN Entertainment]] |publisher=[[Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.]]}}</ref> The proposed project would have featured similar characters and scenarios in a more adult, comedic way.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shoemaker |first=Whitney |date=24 March 2019 |title='Drake & Josh' stars' new project isn't a reboot, Josh Peck confirms |url=https://www.altpress.com/news/drake-and-josh-new-project-not-reboot/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190612222525/https://www.altpress.com/news/drake-and-josh-new-project-not-reboot/ |archive-date=June 12, 2019 |access-date=24 May 2019 |work=[[AltPress]]}}</ref> At the time, Bell and Peck were in discussions with several networks about the project.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Aquilina |first=Tyler |date=March 15, 2019 |title=Drake Bell Says a 'Drake & Josh' Reboot Is in the Works: 'We Have a Great Idea' |url=https://ew.com/tv/2019/03/15/drake-and-josh-reboot-drake-bell-josh-peck/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190317063001/https://ew.com/tv/2019/03/15/drake-and-josh-reboot-drake-bell-josh-peck/ |archive-date=March 17, 2019 |access-date=March 16, 2019 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref> |

In October 2021, it was reported that the original proposed revival had been cancelled, as a result of production delays and Bell's guilty plea to his recent criminal charges.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 19, 2021 |title=Drake & Josh Reunion With Original Cast Cancelled |url=https://www.uncrazed.com/drake-and-josh-cancelled-nickelodeon-netflix/36905/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211019103554/https://www.uncrazed.com/drake-and-josh-cancelled-nickelodeon-netflix/36905/ |archive-date=October 19, 2021 |access-date=October 19, 2021 |publisher=unCrazed}}</ref> |

|||
In March 2022, Bell and his wife Janet stated that the reboot show they had pitched would be called ''Josh & Drake''. Ultimately, the idea was shelved due to creative differences. The show's script was said to have been written by Peck. Janet stated, "Josh wrote Drake as a failed musician and Josh wrote himself as a real estate agent. OK, that's fine, but Drake is a musician in real life, so it wouldn't make sense." Bell added, "I just asked him to change a couple things and he couldn't and my wife wouldn't let me do it."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heller |first=Corinne |date=March 20, 2022 |title=Drake Bell Addresses Josh Peck Rift and Drake & Josh Reboot |url=https://www.eonline.com/amp/news/1323849/drake-bell-addresses-josh-peck-rift-and-the-drake-josh-reboot-that-didnt-happen |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321033150/https://www.eonline.com/amp/news/1323849/drake-bell-addresses-josh-peck-rift-and-the-drake-josh-reboot-that-didnt-happen |archive-date=March 21, 2022 |access-date=March 21, 2022 |publisher=[[E!

==Trivia== |
|||
{{trivia|date=September 2007}} |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
{{listcruft}} |
|||
{{Notelist}} |
|||
*The living room set is the same set used in the ''[[Nickelodeon|Nickelodeon Sleepover Jam]]'' marathon. Ironically, Drake and Josh were special, unannounced guest hosts during that marathon. |
|||
*Drake and Josh's bedroom is the same set that was used in the Bathroom "Stranded" sketch used on its precedor, [[The Amanda Show]]. |
|||
==References== |
|||
* In the first episode, you can see Eric in the back of the crowd that is about to see Josh fight Buck. |
|||
{{Reflist}} |
|||
* In the first season, the door to Drake and Josh's room faces where the television is. In the later episodes, the door faces Josh's bed. This is because the house originally belonged to the Parkers (Drake, Megan, and Audrey). Once the Nichols (Josh and Walter) moved in, the Parker-Nichols family worked on the house to replace the door and added a platform where the drumset was to put Josh's bed, among other changes. |
|||
* The house's wallpaper appears to change during the first season. The kitchen's wallpaper was changed around the same time that Drake's bedroom was renovated. |
|||
* Dan Schneider got the idea to create Drake and Josh, out of a skit from the Amanda Show where they are fighting (like brothers) over a piece of shrimp that fell out of a window. Drake and Josh: Really Big Shrimp in many ways can be considered a homage to the skit, as shrimps and prawns are featured quite a few times in the movie and even affected the story. The skit from Amanda Show is featured in the end of the movie. |
|||
* In many episodes showing The Premiere, you can see poster of the fake movies such as "Janet of the Grapes", "Kissed Her Sister" and "Austin Texas" (A parody of Austin Powers). |
|||
* In the show, Audrey's name and job are never mentioned. |
|||
* In the episode "The Storm", Walter does an outside broadcast that is on channel 7. But in "Steered Straight", it is mentioned that Walter does the weather on Channel 2. It is possible that during that time, he may have been assigned to the different channel. |
|||
* In "Number One Fan" when Drake plays his song to his " Number One Fan" you hear thunder and see lightning. When the camera shot changes to the "#1 fan" it is sunny out the window. |
|||
* In the episode "Pilot", when Drake discovered that Josh was Ms. Nancy, he asked, "Why are you dressed like Queen Latifah?" This referres to Queen Latifah who starred in [[Ice Age: the Meltdown]], another film that Josh starred in. |
|||
* In the episode "Little Sibling", Drake mentions an [[ice cream]] buffet called Jan & Berry's, a parody of [[Ben & Jerry's]]. |

Drake & Josh is an American teen sitcom created by Dan Schneider for Nickelodeon. The series follows teenage stepbrothers Drake Parker (Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (Josh Peck) as they live together despite their opposite personalities. Nancy Sullivan and Jonathan Goldstein star as Drake's mother and Josh's father, respectively, and Miranda Cosgrove plays Drake's devious younger sister. Bell performs the series' theme song, "I Found a Way", written by Bell and Backhouse Mike.
Bell and Peck previously appeared in The Amanda Show, a Nickelodeon variety series created by Schneider that ran on Nickelodeon from 1999 to 2002. A sketch featuring Bell and Peck arguing over a piece of shrimp prompted network executives to cast the two actors in their own spin-off, Drake & Josh. The series premiered on January 11, 2004, on Nickelodeon to critical acclaim.
During production of the fourth season, Bell was injured during a car accident, and filming stalled for four months during his recovery. A television film, Drake & Josh Go Hollywood, premiered in early 2006. A television special, Really Big Shrimp, served as the series finale, and the series' final new broadcast episode aired on September 16, 2007, marking 56 episodes in 4 seasons for the show. After the finale, the network aired the one-time special Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh in 2008.
Drake & Josh was a ratings success, garnering 3.2 million viewers for its premiere, and it consistently ranked as one of the most watched series in its demographic during its run. It won 2 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, 2 UK Kids' Choice Awards, and 3 Australian Kids' Choice Awards and was nominated for 7 other awards, including at the Young Artist Awards and the Casting Society of America. Other media include books, DVD and VHS releases, promotional singles, and video games based on the series.
Plot
[edit]The series revolves around two teenage stepbrothers, Drake Parker and Josh Nichols, who live in San Diego, California, with Drake's younger biological sister Megan and biological mother Audrey, and Josh's biological father Walter. Drake is cool and charismatic, having his own band and being popular with girls, yet can be narcissistic and absent-minded, while Josh is intellectual, clumsy, and awkward; yet very loving and caring. Josh starts working at a local movie theater in the second season, which becomes a key set location for the rest of the series. Despite their opposite personalities, Drake and Josh have shown multiple times throughout the series that they care deeply about each other and have each others' backs. The two boys are often involved in comedic escapades and challenges while handling various teenage problems.

Production
[edit]Drake Bell and Josh Peck had previously acted together on The Amanda Show, created by Dan Schneider.[2] Bell and Peck's differing personalities inspired Schneider to create a new show starring them as characters with traits similar to their own.[3] An unaired pilot episode featured Stephen Furst as Walter Nichols, although he was busy with another project when Drake & Josh was picked up as a series, and Jonathan Goldstein was cast in the role instead.[4][5] A house in Los Angeles' Encino neighborhood was used for exterior shots of the family's home,[6][7][8] while interior scenes were shot on a sound stage at the Nickelodeon on Sunset studios in Hollywood.[9] Tribune Studios in Hollywood was also used as a filming location.[10]
Production was suspended in late December 2005, after Bell's injury in a car crash,[11][12] prior to which he had filmed three episodes of the fourth season.[11] Bell's accident was the result of a driver falling asleep at the wheel and colliding head-on with Bell's 1966 Mustang, which had no seat belts or airbags, resulting in extensive facial injuries.[13] Filming resumed in March 2006[13][14] with the episode "My Dinner with Bobo".[15] The following month, Nickelodeon greenlit an additional seven episodes for the fourth season, and Bell and Peck signed on to direct several episodes.[16][14] With the extended season, filming continued through July 2006.[14] According to Schneider, the show ended due to a collective decision from the creative forces behind the show.[17]
The profession of the family's mother is never revealed on the show, although Schneider had written dialogue into the series finale that would have revealed her profession at a catering business. The scene was filmed, but Schneider ultimately chose to remove it during editing. Schneider said, "On the one hand, I thought it was funny to finally reveal it, so casually, in the very last episode – there was something ironic about that. But then I decided that, because fans always seemed to have fun trying to figure it out (what 'Mom's' name and job were), it would be better to 'keep the bit going' for eternity, by never revealing it in any episode."[1]

[edit]Drake & Josh aired on Nickelodeon and premiered in the United States on January 11, 2004. The final episode aired on September 16, 2007. After the series ended, reruns aired occasionally on TeenNick until 2022.

Online videos
[edit]Beginning in December 2016, Bell and other cast members released a series of short online videos titled Where's Walter? Bell, Sullivan, and Yvette Nicole Brown reprised their roles for the videos, which involve a search for Walter after he goes missing.[38][39][40]
Possible revival
[edit]In March 2019, Bell announced that he and Peck were working on a Drake & Josh revival that would feature both of them reprising their roles.[41] The proposed project would have featured similar characters and scenarios in a more adult, comedic way.[42] At the time, Bell and Peck were in discussions with several networks about the project.[43]
In October 2021, it was reported that the original proposed revival had been cancelled, as a result of production delays and Bell's guilty plea to his recent criminal charges.[44]
In March 2022, Bell and his wife Janet stated that the reboot show they had pitched would be called Josh & Drake. Ultimately, the idea was shelved due to creative differences. The show's script was said to have been written by Peck. Janet stated, "Josh wrote Drake as a failed musician and Josh wrote himself as a real estate agent. OK, that's fine, but Drake is a musician in real life, so it wouldn't make sense." Bell added, "I just asked him to change a couple things and he couldn't and my wife wouldn't let me do it."[45]
In March 2023, Cosgrove told E! News "nothing's off the table" in regards to a possible revival.[46]
In August 2024, in addition to the latter statement, Bell stated that he would be open to a revival reprising his starring role but with a new setting with sets of characters in a buddy comedy setting, differing from the original series.[47]
