What happens

Drake & Josh is an American buddy 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 starred as Drake's mother and Josh's father, respectively, and Miranda Cosgrove starred as Drake's devious younger sister. Bell performed the series' theme song, "I Found a Way", written by Bell and Backhouse Mike. Bell and Peck previously appeared in The Amanda Show, a variety series that Schneider also created for Nickelodeon. 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, which premiered on January 11, 2004. 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. Afterwards, the network aired the one-time special Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh in late 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
