The Drew Carey Show was a perfect sitcom. Okay so if you look at my profile picture you can tell that I am the world's biggest fan of the Drew Carey Show so obviously I'm going to say that, but I can't think of many people who did not like it.
Drew Carey was a great character who always did the right thing for his bosses, fellow employees, friends and family, but he always ended up being beaten down. He was a "loser" who deserved a lot better than what he got.
His friends and co-stars were also great characters. The creepy, weird Ryan Stiles. The also weird but sweet-natured and even more gullible Oswald. And the sexy tomboy Kate. The show actually suffered when she left the cast.
The supporting cast of the big, brash, makeup covered Mimi, Drew's lecherous boss from England and his cross-dressing brother were also great.
It's also the only sitcom I can think of that pushed the envelope so much creatively. They had live shows, shows with pop-ups showing mistakes that were happening (these were actually contests and the first time the episodes aired the viewers had to catch the mistakes themselves and send them in), full musical episodes, improvised episodes and even more.
The show also had a fantastic theme song and treated viewers to new credits numbers every season.
I loved The Drew Carey Show!
