How to watch

Drake Parker is the cool, girl-crazy musician. Josh Nichols is the anxious, overachieving nerd. When their parents marry, the two become stepbrothers and roommates, with little sister Megan pranking them at every turn. Created by Dan Schneider, the sitcom ran for four seasons and added three TV movies that are still fan favorites.
