Why is it that he's never able to write a leading "straight-man"? I've noticed that. Every show he's had centering around a dude there's always been a giant character flaw.
Drake: egotist and dimwitted
Josh: Neurotic, overdramatic, socially awkward
Kenan: Mischevious troublemaker
Kel: Dumb
Meanwhile when it comes to his shows with female leadsthe main role's always the down to earth straight-guy (Carly, Zoey, Tori). I've always wondered why he writes his girl leads as so much more respectable then the boys
