First time I saw an episode about a movie actress impersonate a boss and an accomplice
matthew_huang8721 February 2008
The little diva star from Kid Preisdent, Ashley Blake, comes to town in this episode. A different actress who played Helen in this episode, she looks really ugly. She doesn't really look like Helen at all. After Ashley Blake comes to town, she acts all obnoxious and impersonates a boss. She suddenly tells Josh what to do because the impostor Helen made Josh become her personal assistant. When Ashley comes to Drake and Josh's house, she suddenly becomes an accomplice of Megan! She helped Megan do a prank on Drake and Josh by putting a bucket of paint on top of their room door so when they come in and open the door, the paint will eventually fall on them! When Ashley tried to get the bucket on top of the door, it fell and hit her head and made her lose consciousness! There were no witnesses when that happened. When Drake and Josh came in and found out that Ashley was unconscious, they had to call a doctor. When the doctor came in and Josh complained to the doctor about when she will recover, Josh was terrified that she will recover for a few hours and doctor thought that he hurt her. When Josh tried to explain what happened, Megan started to interfere with his complaint and told him not to hurt her again. Megan didn't tell the truth! She told a big fat lie! Megan also played innocent and pretended she had nothing to do with it, especially it happened in the other episodes: "Sheep Thrills", "Peruvian Puff Pepper" and "Alien Invasion". Its also just in that one episode from Rugrats, "Angelica Nose Best", when Angelica told 3 big fat lies and her nose got a little big. Drake and Josh could have thought of hitting her really hard as a punishment. I wish there was an episode where Drake and Josh hit her and Megan getting into trouble. But the ending was fun when there was a premiere and an after party.

Why do early 2000's show make me want to hate kid actors?
snickzella29 January 2023
I am not a toxic person; Or at least I wouldn't consider myself one. But if I do come across as mean, harsh or even unfairly cruel and judgmental, I just want everyone to know, "It's not my intention to lay blame on anyone, or wish ill upon them, or insight violence or even demand that something terrible happen to someone", it's wrong to lay blame on kid actors for a bad performance. Because kid actors are just doing what their told because their young, and their being paid in experience.

One of the worst thing's you can do to an actor is hate them for acting in a terrible written movie or show. Because it's not their fault, it's the writers.

Th biggest problem with Drake & Josh is that it is so over the top and outlandish, that just imagining that it takes place in real world, is totally insulting and anger inducing that this is what the creators want kids, (or more accurately pre-teens) to get out of reality.

This is a trend I've notice in a lot of kids and family based tv shows I've watched growing up, including (Drake & Josh), they seem to think that their audience is stupid, ugly, and cartoonishly selfish. I'm pretty sure that there are former kid actors out there that did face hardships because of these badly written shows. Because even though Drake & Josh is by design meant to be over the top, it instead becomes more of a reminder of everything (kids like me who clearly weren't like the ones on this show) hate. I'm of course talking about spoiled, precocious and annoying kid characters. Drake & Josh best exemplifies that with the character of Megan, (even though her actress Miranda Cosgrove, would go on play much better and relatable kid characters). A precocious, and annoying little sadist who isn't charming or likeable, no matter how much the writers or creators want her to be. Seeing Miranda Cosgrove play Megan, and then seeing her play another character is like night and day. Because you can clearly see when she is clearly working with better material. But on this show, (and with a lot of other ones I can list) all the kids are either cruel, sadistic, dumb, annoying, and are basically a personification of everything adults hate about children. Not all kids are like that, and it's really sad because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who like to be reminded that there are good people in elementary schools you go to or on those ground. But there is no grasp of reality what so ever to be found.

There is a scene in this episode where in a local doctor gives the "Little Diva" Ashley Blake, sleeping pills without fixing the wound on her head and then charges a ridiculous bill for it. First off: this character drugged a child, second: the title characters don't call a ambulance, three: this is so asinine and ridiculous that I can't believe people actually found this funny.
