Product Description:
Drew Carey the character is a lot like you and me: a smarter-than-he-looks average guy with an underwhelming job some unfulfilled dreams and the support of great friends. And it just so happens that he's played by the very funny Drew Carey who's also the co-creator and occasional writer of The Drew Carey Show. This complete Season One DVD Set reminds us why we laughed along with Drew for nine smash-hit seasons. We meet Drew and his buddies Oswald Lewis and Kate. Drew meets Mimi the cosmetics-challenged co-worker from hell. And everybody meets jobs instead of careers lumpy bods instead of supermodel sleek and Cleveland instead of Manhattan. It's like real life. Just a whole lot funnier.Running Time: 489 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 012569801608 Manufacturer No: 80160

After the release of a six-episode Television Favorites sampler, The Drew Carey Show has earned a well-deserved promotion, DVD-wise, with this complete first-season set. Few television workplace comedies so keenly or hilariously captured the mind-numbing drudgery and soul-crushing despair of cubicle culture as The Drew Carey Show, a kindred spirit to the "Dilbert" comic strip. The pilot episode introduces the bespectacled, buzz-coiffed Everyman, a "go-getter" in his seventh year as the assistant director of personnel in a Cleveland department store, a position, he notes, "of indirect respect and oblique power." The giddy delights of The Drew Carey Show are many, from the smile-inducing theme song, "Moon Over Parma" ("We're going bowlin' / So don't lose her in Solin") to one of TV's most likeable ensembles: Ryan Stiles as goofy Lewis (or, as Jason Alexander joked on Comedy Central's Drew Carey roast, "Kramer-lite"), Diedrich Bader as Oswald (less of a doofus here than in later seasons), Christa Miller as tomboyish Kate, Drew's lifelong platonic friend and unrequited crush, Kathy Kinney as Mimi, Drew's office nemesis, who is Bluto to his Popeye. The appealing Katy Selverstone is also featured as Lisa, with whom Drew has a secret inter-office romance that will last but this one season.
After the enormously telegenic Friends cast, Drew and company are "a cold little splash of reality," portraying relatable, regular people. In this first season, the series is still finding its feet (enjoy them while you can: Drew's hillbilly neighbors, and the voice of Kevin Pollack as Drew's abusive boss, Mr. Bell). But by season's end, as guest star Jamie Lee Curtis (as Drew's hard-partying barber) polkas with Mimi in the hilarious episode "Playing the Unified Field," the series has established its spontaneous, off-center niche. While there are no episode commentaries, this set puts in some valuable overtime with "Life Inside a Cubicle," a retrospective in which cast and series creators reflect on the series' rocky beginnings. --Donald Liebenson

Last Monday, September 15, 2008, The Home Theater Forum had Warner Brothers home video (T.V. and Animation Divisions only) on their chat line. Questions about a release for the 2nd season of Drew Carey Show were asked and Warner Brothers flatly said "no plans". I think this is a disgrace!!! Drew Carey is one of the best Comedy shows of the 90's!! We need to write to Warner Brothers and bombard them with emails and letters to get this show on DVD!!! Fans of the series Knots Landing did just that, ... Read More

Warner Brothers, please do your damn job and release these dvd's before I'm forced to go buy a bootleg copy. I love this show and have patiently awaited the release of the next 8 seasons. I say we all bombard their webpage with emails requesting this awesome series to finally get the release it deserves.

Classic show. One of the great, great sitcoms of the 90's and 2000's. Right up there with Seinfeld, Home Improvement, King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond. So c'mon Warner Bros. stop dragging your #@!&* heels and get with the program! Season 2 please! It's been over a year, what are you waiting for??!! It never ceases to amaze me. Some of the garbage that these studios release on DVD. TV shows that lasted one or two seasons and got canceled because they stunk (like Fox releasing Pamela Sue Anderson's ... Read More

Have been trying to pace myself watching only a few episodes at a time. While many of the very early episodes were a little lame, they set up the storyline and characters quite well. There's two bonuses, an interview with several characters, which was nice, and the 1-888-Mimi, which is a take off on those sex-talk phone lines is a bit silly. Overall, a perfect addition to my classic television collection. Bring on more seasons, please....
