Product Description

Product 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

Drake and Josh is my favorite show on Nickelodeon. Even though there are no DVD season boxsets out yet, this DVD came out in early 2005 and I bought it. Here is my review ( I have no life ).

[*] Indicates a "DVD Great"

----------

[*]Pilot: 4.5/5 This is the first episode of the series. Drake and Josh become step brothers and Drake realizes that Josh is a real loser in school. In a case of mistaken identity, Josh has to fight a "jealous boyfriend".

[*]Dune Buggy: 4.5/5 Drake and Josh get a dune buggy from Drake's friend, Trevor, but find out that it doesn't run. After getting it fixed, Drake and Josh aren't allowed to even drive it. Josh gets grounded for lying because of Drake, and Drake takes the dune buggy for a ride regardless. He crashes into a tree and tries to hide his injuries.

Two Idiots And A Baby: 4/5 Josh volunteers to babysit, but Drake abandons the baby to play a concert with his band. Josh soon loses the baby and looks tirelesly around the house for him. Soon, Meghan reveals that she had it the whole time and nobody knows what happened.

[*]First Crush: 4.5/5 Josh promises to play a birthday song on guitar at a girls birthday party. Having no idea how to play it, he has Drake teach him, but the strings on the guitar snap. Drake comes up with a plan that makes Josh look like he's playing it but he really isn't.

Special Features: Outtakes: 5/5 On this DVD there are 8 minutes of outtakes. They are pretty good, too, and are well worth watching. Makes the DVD all more worth the money.

----------

Overall, this is an excellent DVD. The quality for some reason is furry-like on the episodes, but the episodes are still great. It has some of the first episodes of this great series. I really think you should buy it. Since it is from the first season, you will notice some things. First, the whole entire house looks different; especially Drake and Josh's room. The door doesn't even face the same way, and the whole room looks different entirely. You will also notice some "slip-ups" by the director, but you'll forgive them. You should really buy this DVD if you are a Drake and Josh fan. It's really just a bummer there are only 4 episodes and there hasn't been a new volume to this for about a year and a half now.

4.5/5

It is a comedy show about two brothers who are the exact opposite of each other who suddenly become brothers when their rich parents get married. They and their sister Megan are always getting into situations together. Most of these situations involve playing pranks on each other or getting girls to like them. The style of comedy they use is pretty old school, for example talking in exaggerated voices, food fights, spilling buckets of paint on someone, etc.
As far as ratings go, I would say this is good for kids 11 to 13. Anyone younger should watch with a parent as some young adult situations come up some times. Also the girls clothing gets a little skimpy at times. For the most part the girls are treated with respect except for a little talk of deceiving or tricking girls into dating one of the two boys.
I started watching this wonderful show when I was home from work on a disability and I have to say it got me through some very hard times.

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.

I love watching this show with my kids. I went ahead and bought a couple seasons while they were sick and stuck inside, so this made them happy and kept them entertained! Some of the innuendo I could do without, but overall we enjoy the show and it is neat seeing these actors again when they were so young.

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.

My daughter has always loved Drake and Josh so I thought this was an ideal christmas present. She was really pleased but when she went to watch it on our dvd player it didnt work. As it came from america it was not suited on our dvd player. I did not think to check this out. She can only watch it in the conservatory :(
