Description
Fifteen-year-old Drake and Josh are schoolmates, but not close friends. As a matter of fact, Drake thinks Josh is a bit of a goof. Imagine his shock when he discovers this goof is about to become his stepbrother and new roommate when his mother marries Josh's father!
Amazon.com
Nickelodeon's fresh teen comedy (a successful spin off of The Amanda Show) displays the uncanny comedic talents of Drake Bell and Josh Peck as 15-year-old stepbrothers who are thrown together as roommates when Drake's mother marries Josh's father. Polar opposites in personality, the boys must navigate their way through a myriad of adjustments in their newly blended family. In the first of this two-episode program (from the TV series), Drake discovers that Josh is an undercover advice columnist for the school newspaper using the pseudonym "Miss Nancy." Tensions mount when girl-crazy Drake decides to exploit Josh's "insider information" to attract the school's hottest pick, Tiffany. The second segment, "Dune Buggy" takes a humorous yet insightful look at the "art" of lying--is it a character quality or flaw? The overall show works because of the unmistakable chemistry and physical comedy of its stars, who have been lauded as modern-day Felix and Oscar (of The Odd Couple). Parents will appreciate the program's G-rated humor and refreshing absence of offensive innuendoes. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson

 Great Show for Families to Watch Together March 25, 2008
I came across this show by chance.
I am middle aged and don't watch kid shows or any cartoons for that matter.
It's embarrasasing to admit, but I love this show. I can't remember the last time I saw such a (new) funny show. The only series I normally watch is "Heroes" but I now have a TiVo season pass to "Drake and Josh". The physical comedy (especially Josh) is hilarious. The pratfalls of these two had me laughing like an 8 year old. Josh's timing and delivery is instinctive. His facial expressions alone will make you howl. I predict he is going to be a big star like Jim Carrey one day --- no, bigger.
When these guys are older, I think they could have a very successful movie career as a comedic duo along the lines of Curtis/Lemmon, Abbott & Costello, Martin/Lewis, Gibson/Glover.
FUN! FUN! FUN! November 21, 2007
I became interested in this show after watching a couple of episodes in a local channel. It got my attention because it made me laugh A LOT! Since then I started to follow it and to love it. Ok, ok....it is for kids (and by the way, I am 25), but it has everything you want in good TV -great chemistry between the leading characters, silly and funny situations, simpleness and above all I think what makes it great is that it has charisma- I hope they release more DVD's in the future. Mmmm...another thing I must add is that I think this show got me because I see so much of me in Josh -lol-.Drake's character, on the other hand is quite the opposite, but one can't help but to love them both.
Enjoyment for the Whole Family October 13, 2007
Drake and Josh Suddenly Brothers is hilarious. It shows us Drake and Josh from the beginning. Drake is not happy about having a new brother because lets face it, Josh is really goofy, but as Drake gets to know him he finds out that he really does love him and from there comedy insues. This movie only has 4 episodes, but it also comes with some entertaining bloopers.

If your kids are fans of the Drake and Josh TV show, you'll probably want to add this to your collection.
The DVD contains episodes from the series and is typical of this type of program for older kids and pre-teens. Each episode deals with a different topic or situation typical to kids around that age -- though admitedly, some of the issues and situations would only come up if you lived in CA or you were progeny of yuppie parents.
The episodes are highly entertaining and there's good chemistry between the actors. Each episode has an underlying message, but it's never preachy nor so obvious that it feels like they're beating you over the head with it.
My son loves this, and I even find it entertaining. The only question, is when are more episodes going to be released. You'll want those, too.
5 stars for the show, not the DVD September 22, 2007
I think this is a great show, but I think they need to release a season set instead of doing Disney Channel-style 4-episode releases. I would pay good money for a season set, but I won't spend a cent on a disc with only four episodes. Are you listening, Nickelodeon?
