Drake and Josh/Trivia

• Adored by the Network: And how! When this show started airing, it quickly became Nickelodeon's top dog in terms of live-action shows - therefore one of the network's most popular shows. The series' popularity resulted in it being run a lot by Nickelodeon even after the show had ended and lead way to similar shows on Nick.
  • And now five years after it's ended, Teen Nick seems just as infatuated with this show as their parent channel once was. Try turning on Teen Nick any given hour of the day, chances are this show or Zoey 101 will be on.
• The Danza: The eponymous characters.
• Hey, It's That Guy! / Retroactive Recognition: A lot of then-obscure teenagers who appeared as one of Drake's girlfriends and/or as one-shot characters are presently well-known stars in various shows. Good lord, where to start...

  • Sarah Baker and Bethany Hamilton are Megan's fellow campfire kids.
