The Drew Carey Show (1995–2004)
8/10
A comedy hit, like the comedian himself
27 February 2013
First clicking onto this show in late 2007, wow! what I had been missing in comedy world. I love Drew Carey in this, basically adding a few notches up to his character of.... Drew Carey. He works as personnel in one of these top floors at a department store. Lewis cracks me up, as the no hoper with women, larrikin character. Oswald is something of a laugh too, if an oddity as Lewis's best friend. He reminds me of someone I went to high school with. Mimi, Drew's nemeses with that loud blue eye shadow, spouting that famous three letter word that's constantly projected at Drew, is another quirky character, who deep down, really has the hots for Drew I'm sure. Drew, quick witted genius he is, is good as dishing it back at her. We have the pretty Kate, Lewis brother who falls for Oswald and Drew. What a strange world. But the real acting force is Craig Ferguson who does us one solid, as Carey's boss, Mr Wick, who's firing of people is a daily occurrence, as much as it is a warmth of satisfaction. Ferguson, off camera, has proved to be more quick witted than Carey as judged by his late night show, which for me, replaced Letterman as my favorite host show. I fell in love with this show, and I could of smashed my head against the wall many times, for not watching it, when it first came out. I suggest you watch this comedy classic too.... "Yeah pig." Footnote: On the top of my head, I loved all of the opening themes, where they used 4-5 different, that were very original. A truly memorable show, that surely won't die for ages.
