Product Description

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

Great, NOW WHERE' SESON TWO? April 1, 2009
J. Jackle (In my own Universe)
I have gone thru season 1 of the Drew Carey Show a couple of times. It's funnier than I remembered. Season 2 is when they start to REALLY cook. Now, just when is #2 coming out on DVD?
One of the most under-rated shows EVER March 14, 2009

Lately I've been watching repeats of this show in syndication, and even chopped to pieces, it's STILL as HILARIOUS as it was when I watched it first-run! Why in God's name won't Warner Brothers release seasons 2-9? Of course, it was entirely overlooked by the entertainment community (no Emmy nominations? WHY?!? It certainly deserved to win for costuming alone), and now it's being overlooked by its production company. There are eight seasons unreleased. We already have entire collections of lesser shows...
And more, in second season Craig Ferguson joined the cast, and his popularity these days is certain to give Warner the sales it seems to want.
So....
BRING US THE REST OF "The Drew Carey Show"!
