Spin off "Drake & Josh" (2004)

I don't care what some people think, I really liked this show

I don't really like it how a lot of people here keep saying how this show is so terrible. I think it's a good show in my opinion. One of the best live-action Nick shows since "Kenan And Kel". Many of the skits entertain me, especially the ones with Mr. Gullible and the hilarious two "Survivor" spoofs. The first was everyone stuck in a car, the second was everyone stuck in a bathtub. It was so amusing to see which character would drive the others the most craziest.

I agree, some of the skits were pretty stupid at times ("Moody's Point", the one where a group of people, like cheerleaders or old ladies attack people) but most of the times it's very funny! I especially like the skits with the family that does everything wrong. I always laugh every time they have those hilarious skits where Amanda crank calls an old man to irritate him. It's dead funny! Also, the one where the family works terribly at places like movie stores ("This is better!" "Much better!")

Overall, this was a memorable Nick show. It gets a 9/10. Keep this and "Kenan And Kel" around.
