While the two have gone on to other projects, they'll forever be linked in the minds of fans. That's why it was so refreshing to see the pair reunited on the short-lived Fox series "Grandfathered." While Josh Peck was a regular on the show, Drake Bell stopped by for an episode, and several "Drake & Josh" references followed. Bell's character even mentions how Peck's character looks a lot like his stepbrother, who's currently in jail for stalking Oprah Winfrey. 

While it was a nice reunion, no doubt fans would've loved more "Drake & Josh," even if it ended up seeing the characters go to college. Dan Schneider closed out his statement: "The network already had plenty of episodes of Drake & Josh for reruns, and they were excited about the idea of me creating a new TV series for Miranda Cosgrove (which I did: iCarly)." The show's sister series, "iCarly," may yet give fans reason to hope. That show was brought back as a revival for Paramount+, which did the same for another popular Nickelodeon show, "Zoey 101."

Could more "Drake & Josh" be in the future? Who's to say at this point? But for anyone wanting to relive their childhood and see Drake and Josh perform as the Blues Brothers at the talent show again, all episodes are available on Paramount+.
