I can't say that I watched the majority of episodes of The Drew Carey Show, but the ones I watched were quite fun, and you could tell it wasn't trying to take itself way too seriously, and it had elements of the sitcoms Friends, Roseanne, Cheers, and mixed with Drew Carey's friends. It's worth noting the friendship continued, with Drew Carey hosting Whose line is it anyway which featured Ryan Stiles, who is a very masterful improv performer. Anyway, I liked the live episodes, and also the opening song, Moon over Parma. Maybe The Drew Carey Show can be rebooted for a new audience who would this show init.
