Excellent Series..groundbreaking humor
When this series was on, it was one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. So unique, stunning killer one liners, improv comics not only doing there lines but doing their own. This was a tremendously entertaining show. For this show to be hidden for so long, politics MUST be involved at the corporate level. Hugely successful, the actors in this series went on individually as well. (Just watch Scrubs, Cougar Town, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Price Is Right and others). In my area, the reruns have disappeared.For the price? It is a no brainer.In my opinion, this show racks up there with all the greats, and the show kept on getting better every year. Yet the only episodes available are the first season and a compilation. A shame. With all the other TV crap that is out there only a week after a show is cancelled, there is nothing on this show?The first season is a thrill to watch..watching the show develop and the characters get to knw each other better, what works, etc. I still laugh watching the one liners and insults between Mimi and Drew, ("your makeup looks like the backside of a Mandrill").So corporate snobs , get off your %&%$'s and release the rest. This is a 5 star show.

5 Stars for the show / 1 star for the video rendering
5 Stars for the Show and Drew Carey!, but 1 star for the video rendering. This is the worst transfer I've ever seen. It isn't even SD (480i), looks to be somewhere in the 300's. It's as if they pointed a video camera to a TV set. Some episodes are better than others, but I'm really shocked about how poor the resolution is. I have quite a collection of 60's - 90's TV shows on DVD, and this is the worst I've seen. Warner really dropped the bomb on this one. Glad I only paid $9.99 for it. What a shame Warner didn't want to invest a little more is such a classic show. I still love watching it, but the video is of bootleg quality (actually, I take that back, I've seen some bootlegs that are better quality than this).P.S.: Just to make sure I didn't get a set from a "bad batch", I purchased an episode from iTunes, downloaded it and watched it, and yes, it's the same poor resolution as the DVD (however, it looks great on small screens like your iPhone or iPad).

The Blue-Collar Everyman
Comedian Drew Carey shows the ups and downs of middle-management in the long-running ABC comedy sitcom "The Drew Carey Show". Lovable loser Drew Carey (Himself) lives his middle-life years in Cleveland, Ohio as the mild-mannered assistant director of personnel of the multinational department store chain Winfred-Louder. Drew spends much of his days dealing with his cranky cosmetics-challenged co-worker Mimi (Kathy Kinney) and hanging out with his close friends Kate (Christa Miller), Oswald (Diedrich Bader) and Lewis (Ryan Stiles) in the local tavern. "The Drew Carey Show" is the very funny comedy sitcom that debuted on the ABC network in the fall of 1995. The first season features some amusing episodes with a terrific comic cast and side-splitting laughs. Adult viewers might relate to the characters mid-life issues. The onscreen rivalry between Carey and Kinney is utterly hilarious. The first season of "The Drew Carey Show" also includes Kevin Pollack (The Usual Suspects) as Drew's sexist and unseen boss Mr. Bell, and guest appearances by David Cross, Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis and Penn & Teller.Experience again all the laughs from one of the funniest comedy shows in recent television history with "The Drew Carey Show: The Complete First Season". All 22 episodes of the first season are presented in their original full screen format. The picture quality is quite good and certainly sharper than your average television rebroadcast. Its 2.0 Dolby Digital audio is well balanced and rather enjoyable. The only extras in the 4-disc set are the 19-minute "Life inside a Cubicle" featurette and the "1-900-Mimi" parody. Though somewhat weak compared to other television DVD box sets, "The Drew Carey Show: The Complete First Season" offers hours of enjoyment and earns a "B".

Hilarious Comedy with quick delivery!
What can you say about an amazing show like the Drew Carey Show? It was at one time one of the best shows on TV and the some of the jokes and pranks they had on that show were awesome! It was disappointing to know that they did not many any other seasons on DVD, for what reason, I do not know.I order this on a wednesday and got it by the weekend which was great because I did not add on any special delivery options. The condition of the case was perfect so I am glad that I did not have to deal with any return issues.If you have never seen this show, it is very funny. The first season doesn't really show just what those actors were capable of doing because they were still getting used to the show itself but by the middle of their run, it was just one great joke after the next. Watch some of the show on YouTube and if you are so inclined to own it, pick up a copy on Amazon and be sure to let Warner Bros Home Videos know you want the rest of the seasons!

Daughter and Son-in-Law Enjoy Drew Carey's Show
I bought this for a gift for my son-in-law. My daughter told me they love it!They are excellent DVD's. I was a fan of the Drew Carey show myself. I thought it was really funny and enjoyed the cast. There was one thing that bothered me, though. It was when the woman, who worked with Drew, would constantly make fun of his weight, even though she was obese herself. That never made any sense to me. But I didn't buy it for me. So that is kind of a moot point.The seller shipped the DVD's quickly. I like the way Amazon has it set up to put in addresses so you can choose who to send gifts to rather than having to add the information each time you buy a gift for someone. It makes a transaction quick and easy.
