Drake & Josh is easily the most promising of TeenNick's many shows. The majority of the jokes are funny, as they should be, and the acting itself is hilarious, especially from Josh.
The show is really just about two kids whose parents got divorced, then married, and now they live with each other. Drake & Josh are completely opposite in personality: Josh is sarcastic, uptight, and a bit of a nerd while Drake is laid back and cool. Despite their quarrels, which tend to be hilarious, the two are an inseparable duo and make an excellent comedic team. Lines are cleverly written by the writers and delivered with perfection- the timing of each joke is 100% accurate and enhances the jokes. Even small jokes, such as Josh getting scared by Drake by accident, turn into hilarious, side-splitting jokes.
While nearly everything is executed perfectly, there are still a couple of problems. The first one is the parents. The mother is nearly non-existent, as I almost never see her on the show, and is there mainly to get characters get along with each other, which never happens. The dad shows up a little more often, but unfortunately, he is a clueless airhead who is too unbelievable because of his stupidity. His stupidity is really not that funny, but luckily, he doesn't show up too much.
The one character, though, who I absolutely despise, is sister Megan Parker. She is the queen of all brats, and I can't stand her presence on the screen because she is so evil and mean and literally NEVER gets in trouble for the wrongs she's committed. She gets away with everything and loves every minute of it, and I get so steamed when I see her. This is such a downfall in the show, it decreases much of the show's credibility. Megan isn't as bad in some of the newer episodes, but I still don't like her character.
So far Drake & Josh has run pretty smoothly, getting better and better as it goes. The future of the show is questionable- I've heard rumors it has been canceled- but nothing is written in stone yet. I'm hoping the show continues to go instead of quitting while its ahead, because it is easily one of the best sitcoms developed in the 00's. 7.5/ 10.
