Drake & Josh Christmas Movie a Hit

According to MarketWatch, Nickelodeon's Merry Christmas Drake & Josh Ranks as the week's top cable entertainment program, raking in 8.1 Million total viewers. It has become the number one TV Telecast among kids and tweens.

I really like Drake and Josh show on Nickelodeon because it is wholesome funny. So I am happy that their movie did great! Merry Christmas Drake & Josh was aired Friday, Dec. 5, 8-10 p.m. (ET/PT). The primetime two-hour movie ranks as the most-watched live-action television movie with kids 2-11 and total viewers in Nickelodeon's history, delivering triple-digit gains over last year. The telecast also ranks as the overall number-three entertainment telecast with total viewers on cable for 2008 to date (based on NMR: live + same day delivery), according to MarketWatch. The movie delivers high-stakes comic adventure for the holiday season and features guest-stars Henry Winkler and MMA fighter Kimbo Slice who help Drake and Josh keep their Christmas promise to a family of foster kids. The brand-new, two-hour original television movie reunites the whole Drake & Josh cast of regulars -- including Drake Bell; Josh Peck; tween queen Miranda Cosgrove and Jerry Trainor, stars of Nickelodeon's iCarly.

But I am kinda worried about Drake because he has lost so much weight, and it seems he already wearing prosthesis on the show just to keep some of the body fat that he used to have. Anyway, I guess it is healthier for him (and better for his girl image) if he shed some weight, but I hope there is nothing drastic about it and it is not teenage angst that set it.

Anyway, congratulations Drake and Josh for a successful full-length Christmas movie! :-)
