I'm not going to get angry at Miranda Cosgrove. She is a kid actor, she's just doing it for the experience. But man! Is the character of Megan annoying as sin.
The problem with Drake & Josh as characters is that they really are too dumb to be funny. It's not like The Three Stooges, or Laurel and Hardy, or even Abbott and Costello, because at least when they played dumb people, their was this level of wit and charm, and not to mention the comedy worked because the world around them wasn't the focus, so they were left to their own devices and were aloud to do funny things and not have to worry about something dumb or annoying get in the way of their comedy routine. Drake & Josh are just too stupid to be likeable, because the world they live in is already shallow and unbelievable that I can't find anything to connect with here.
Plus precocious kid characters are never fun to watch.
