Plot

Drake Parker and Josh Nichols couldn't be more different, and now that they've become stepbrothers and live in the same house, those differences are all the more obvious. With separate friends and aspirations in high school, the new siblings have unpredictable days and hilarious adventures while getting used to being family.

Why It Rocks

1. Drake and Josh are a hilarious comedy duo.
2. The introductions are really hilarious.
3. Memorable and hilarious characters like Drake, Josh, Walter, Craig, Eric, and Crazy Steve.
4. On top of that, Crazy Steve is one of the best characters in the show. His quotes are also very entertaining and memorable.
5. Funny jokes and gags.
6. Plenty of heartwarming moments, like the ending of the episode "Josh Is Done" when Josh doesn't want to deal with Drake anymore, Drake apologizes, and they become close again.
7. The theme song is very catchy.
8. Entertaining intro with Drake and Josh talking about their discussions.
9. The episode where they parody the Blues Brothers is awesome.
10. The finale of the show, "Really Big Shrimp", had memorable moments such as Josh finally getting promoted as a Gold Vest in the premiere, Drake's Remarkable "Makes Me Happy" Song, being played in the Daka Commercial, and the famous shrimp fight.
11. It created tons of memorable quotes, including "I'm pressing it!" and "Drake where's the doorhole?".
12. Its TV films, Go Hollywood and Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, are fun and entertaining to watch.
13. Drake and Josh as their cartoon counterparts made a cameo appearance in one episode of The Adventures of Kid Danger.

Bad Qualities

1. Some jokes are too mean-spirited.
2. Unlikable characters like Helen Dubois, Alice Hayfer and Mindy Crenshaw.
3. Megan's constant pranks on Drake and Josh as well as her penchant of getting them in trouble just for fun while she almost always gets off scot-free can be undeniably irritating.
4. Audrey and Walter are no better than Megan since they often favor her and never listen to Drake and Josh.
5. Some bad episodes like "Theatre Thug" and "Peruvian Puff Pepper".

Trivia

• Drake Bell revealed that Brian Peck, who was his sexual abuser, auditioned to be the role of Walter. Thankfully, this did not happen and Brian Peck was arrested.
