Ask anyone who was growing up in the 2000s what their favorite show was and you're guaranteed to get plenty of people to say "Drake & Josh". And with such a huge fan base you'd expect every episode to be easily viewable, right?
Well, Drake & Josh is no stranger to banned episodes, in fact, the drama starts as far back as before the show even initially premiered. The original pilot for Drake & Josh was reshot and the original pilot was never released in it's entirety.
As for the pilot episode that DID release, well, yeah, that one's entirely banned from streaming / purchase online. It seems Nickelodeon really does not want you seeing the very first episode of Drake & Josh. So today, we're going to take a look back at the lost pilot as well as the banned pilot and set the record straight once and for all.
