The Easter Eggs, Cameos, and Crossovers That Connect These 24 Nickelodeon Shows
From 'Drake & Josh' to 'SpongeBob,' these shows are all connected.
After spending a majority of the past 24 years watching Nickelodeon, I had a thought. Anyone who watched enough Nick noticed that characters cross over into other Nick shows. Whether it was a full blown crossover, like The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, or just a quick cameo, Nick wasn't shy about sharing characters. So I was wondering, how many of these shows can be connected together? Since I'm an unproductive member of society, I decided to graph out how these shows connect with each other. This is what I came up with.
I'll break down how each show is connected but first I'll explain what the criteria was to establish a connection. In order to link two shows they must share a common character or significant object. That means actors playing two different roles in different shows do not count. Now that that's established, let's see how these 24 shows all connect.
All That and The Amanda Show
While Amanda Bynes played a character named in Amanda in both shows, it's unclear if that's the same character so I needed another link. The character Totally Kyle was in both All That and The Amanda Show, as was Amanda's stalker Penelope Taynt.
The Amanda Show and Drake & Josh
The final scene in the Drake & Josh series finale, "Really Big Shrimp" features a flashback to a scene from The Amanda Show where Drake and Josh are fighting over shrimp. A second connection is in the Dune Buggy episode, where The Amanda Show was playing in the background.
Drake & Josh and Unfabulous
In the Drake & Josh episode "Honor Council," Megan shows a video she made called "Doing Stuff to Josh While He Sleeps." In the video, she's with the main character in Unfabulous, Addie Singer.
Drake & Josh and Game Shakers
