Best Walter Nichols Moments

Walter Nichols, father of Josh and step-father of Drake, is our second-favorite weatherman from the show (With Bruce Winchell and his hair obviously being our first). Walter displayed a great number of characteristics that mirrored Josh's such as his clumsiness, his ability to socialize (or rather, his lack thereof), and his uncanny skill in being used by others for their personal gain. He is also known for his corny dad jokes, which I am a huge fan of. Despite his quirks, he actually displayed many qualities of a great father and husband who was always looking out for his family. In fact, the only time him and his wife ever fought on the show was the episode called "The Affair", which was Drake's fault so it shouldn't count anyway. Combine all these reasons and you'll see why he is one of my favorite characters on the show. Here are my top 4 favorite moments of good ol' Walter.

1. The time he wore a dress

After getting caught with fake ID's, Drake and Josh are sent to a police sponsored "steered-straight" program to hopefully correct their behavior. When it comes time to break the news to them, he is unfortunately in the middle of trying on a prom dress for a family member. The scene is filled with poor timing and creative usage of grapefruits.

2. The time he was full of great ideas

Walter forgets his wife's birthday and gives Drake and Josh $200 to go buy a last-minute gift for her. When asked what they should buy, he thinks of some... interesting choices. I don't know what kind of household you were raised in Walter, but I hope you ALL were always using toothpaste.

3. The time he was reminded of his arch-nemesis

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, Bruce Winchell is the other weatherman on the show, as well as Walter's arch nemesis. Winchell wins the hearts of all women who see him with his great hair, and he always beats Walter in the annual Best Weatherman awards.

4. The time he was Winston from New Girl

Walter had many interests that were unconventional, but we can all agree that we all share his love of fancy cats.... right?

A Review of "Josh is Done"

Image
Season 4, Episode 12 Now that this blog has reviewed the majority of the major characters of Drake and Josh, it's time to dive into some of my favorite episodes the show has released. The first of which is "Josh is Done", which is the highest rated episode of the series on imdb.com (9.4/10) and for good reason. It broke away from the goofy, lighthearted humor that the show normally used (although there was still plenty of that) and added an element of deep emotion that was very uncommon to Producer Dan Schneider's style. It was a turning point for the show that sent a powerful message to treat others with respect, no matter what your social status may be.  The intro to the episode explains that both Drake and Josh have a huge chemistry exam coming up. Each brother prepared for the test exactly how you would expect them to: Josh studied all night every night for a week, and Drake played a lot of ping pong. The morning of the test, Drake leaves Josh beh

Best Crazy Steve Moments

A Drake and Josh blog would not be complete without a post about Crazy Steve. One of the minor characters on the show, Crazy Steve was an employee of the Premier movie theater with Josh (and for a brief time, Drake as well). He had a short temper and overreacted to the smallest of things that would happen to him. Although the humor related to this character was more towards the corny side geared towards younger teens, it was still a blast to look back on my favorite moments of his. Hope you enjoy! 1.The time Josh ate his enchilada   If you're familiar with the show, you can probably recall the time Josh ate Crazy Steve's enchilada at work. When Steve initially finds out this devastating news, he remains surprisingly calm because his therapist only allowed him to have a certain amount of outbursts per day and it was "not the time". At the end of the scene, an alarm on his watch goes off and he proceeds to chase Josh around the theater. As a big fan of Me

A Review of "Josh Runs into Oprah"

Season 4, Episode 1. Josh loves Oprah. He knows it, Drake knows it, we all know it. This episode has to be included in my blogs because it is certainly one of my favorites in the series. As the title suggests, this episode isn't really that joyful for Josh. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, let's start from the beginning! It's Josh's birthday, and Drake forgets all about it. He tells Josh to meet him at The Premiere later in the day, something Josh believes is a surprise party for him. When he arrives to the theater, he finds out Drake threw a surprise party for his new girlfriend instead. When he finally realizes Drake actually forgot his birthday, he gets upset and storms out. Shortly after, Helen breaks it to Drake that it's Josh's birthday too, and Drake then makes it his mission to make it up to Josh. He rushes home to tell Josh he got them both tickets to a live recording of the Oprah show with backstage passes from one of his band members&
