First,let me say there is nothing I could possibly add to the positives of The Drew Carey Show. I have to say at it's outset,I had no idea who he was,having never seen him on The Tonight Show. I wasn't crazy about the "Moon Over Parma" theme either (I thought he said Move Over Mama which made no sense of course!)
I liked the scene,in the pilot,where he coughs and at the same time tears up Mimi's application for the cosmetics department...very funny!
The whole series was great (except for the episode where he almost passes away!) until ABC moved it to Monday nights. What possessed them to do that?! I think given his success with this show and "Whose Line.." maybe ABC thought he was getting "too big" and decided to sabotage him. (Not directly accusing but that's how it seems to me.)
So poor Drew and crew get regularly pushed back to late night due to the fact that football comes first! I actually had to stay up to see a show! Since I usually had work the next day,naturally i couldn't always do that.
So I lost track. I didn't even see the final shows until this past May. At least it had a conclusion and for my money,it was worth the wait.
Nice ending,Drew once again out in the rain playing pool in his back yard,with those closest to him watching from the window...thinking he's nuts! (ha ha!) Closing with "You Can Still Rock In America" by Night Ranger.
