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.
This is one funny sitcom! Drew Carey and his co-stars (especially Kathy Kinney as Mimi Bobeck) each have an ingenious sense of comic timing! In addition, the show itself fairly accurately portrays the plight of the normal, everyday guy who's trying to find both love and success in today's world. Plus, the show sometimes has some highly loony episode storylines and crazy sight-gags that are normally only seen in movies! I would highly recommend this TV series to any serious comedy buff!
I don't usually like shows starring stand-up comics. They end a great comics career and usually aren't acted that well. Drew Carey is different. Every part is played pitch perfect and it has good, plausible storylines.
The show went downhill after Kate and Oswald broke up, but that happens with all shows. The Mimi/Steve pairing was well-played and emotionally fulfilling. I'm not much of a fan of Drew/Kate and the show would have been better without it. Wick is the strongest character, albeit cartoonish. But the whole show is.
My favorite episode would be when they attempted to win an Emmy. It was the epitome of the show-goofy.

I just read a review of this show on this site calling the show "absolutely awful." Wrong! This show is, and always has been innovative and creative. Carey and his cast have done things never seen before and have pushed the envelope of mundane sitcoms. We should all be thanking the creators & producers of this show for giving us an alternative to the run-of-the-mill sitcom bilge that has been pumped out over the past few years. One day, this program will be regarded as one of the most influential television program of our time. Thanks Drew, for mixing things up a bit & providing us with pure entertainment.
I absolutely loved this show. One of my favorite TV shows. It's very corny and the jokes are one after another but I used to watch it every night. I find it sad you can only watch the first season. RELEASE ALL SEASONS.

- TriviaPay It Forward: When the initial ratings came back for the TV show, they were so good that the production company bought Carey a Porsche 911. Carey went back to the studio later, and shouted, "Who here has the worst car?" One of the crew said he didn't have a car. Carey threw him the keys to his Miata.
- Quotes
Drew Carey: Oh, you hate your job? Oh my god, well why didn't you say so? You know there's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY. They meet at the bar!
- Crazy creditsIn the eighth season the theme song was performed with a different musical style before each episode.
- Alternate versionsThe episode "Two Drews and the Queen of Poland Walk Into a Bar" was deemed offensive to Polish people due to its storyline where Mimi prepares to meet the king of Poland. The syndicated version of this episode cuts Mimi's storyline entirely and reuses an intro from an older episode to fit the time missing.
