    Not the best episode for what anyone else thinks

    This was an ok episode. The only funny part is when Drake said "of corse you can!" when some girls at the premiere asked for his autograph instead of helping Josh from being attacked.

    And I agree what others say, Josh and the Theater Thug look nothing alike, but they still fight with Josh and call the cops for no reason. That's a false arrest which is illegal.

    This episode shouldn't have been made, and it's the creator's fault for making a garbage episode like this.

    No joke, this is one of the most hated Drake and Josh episodes in the series next to the Peruvian Puff Pepper. Why was this included on the best of season DVDs anyway?!?!

    • Trivia
      Many fans of the show consider this the worst episode of the entire show due to the cruelty and stupidity of the townsfolk and police.
    • Goofs
      Helen is shown as not being able to behave when she is in the set of "FBI's Most Wanted". However, in "Helen's Surgery" Drake and Josh visit Helen's apartment and are impressed about how rich Helen is. She then confesses it is because she was a child actress, which means she should be able to act and would be fine when in a set.
