Drew Carey Show: Cleveland Rocks

A thread for fans of the show... ...and also, for the dirty bitches in the Roseanne thread that suggested Drew was a bad, bad boy and gave ABC some headaches during the show's run. Spill, bitches!

• About the only time I laughed at Drew Carey was this scene.

• Drew was notorious for hooker and cocaine.

• [quote] Drew was notorious for hooker and cocaine. Just one hooker? No wonder he was so sad. Hooker and Cocaine sounds like a really fun law office TV show.

• bump

• There were rumors here that Drew was gay and that he was heavy into German-style S&M but that's just Datalounge scuttlebutt. One of my favorite musical bits from the show:

• Wow, I totally forgot that both Christa Miller and Ian Gomez were in that together before Cougar Town.

• Thank you, I needed a laugh.

• My other favorite musical number, Rocky Horror vs. Priscilla (Craig Ferguson looks FIERCE!):

• God, I hated this show.

• They did some really creative things. Another comedy where the first 4-5 years were great and then bam, suck city.

• He's fucking painful to watch on The Price is Right. It seems like every time they roll a game out it's the first he's ever fucking heard of that game.

• Margaret Cho was mad because all the stuff from her set ended up on Drew Carey.

• I always enjoyed this episode

• Christa Miller was apparently annoyed by how popular the "Mimi" character became, feeling it stole focus from her. Craig Ferguson has said that while he was delighted with the pay cheque, it was a boring show to film.

• I'm jealous of Christa Miller - her husband (the dude that created Scrubs and Cougar Town) is a hot piece of ass.

• [quote]Christa Miller But she was around a lot, in non-Mimi guise. I enjoyed all her work.

• Christa had to have her husband make a show and create a character for her. By the end of the show (Scrubs) she had had so much shitty work done that she really was a caricature just like Jordan was supposed to be.

• I meant without Mimi's guise. Her Scrubs character was great

• Mimi was the definitely the "break out" character on the show. I believe that at one time, they came out with an officially licensed Mimi mask for Halloween.

• Why was Kathy Kinney never nominated for an Emmy for her work as Mimi? She was a riot. Even people who didn't like the show thought she was funny.

• Kathy Kinney was good playing the cartoon character, Mimi. But her great performance was playing a human being in Parting Glances.

• Margaret Cho was mad because they pressured her into losing weight at an unhealthy rate, then cancelled her show and replaced her with fattie Carey.

• I saw Drew Carey live last weekend in San Francisco. He really trashed some of the prizes on The Price is Right. He joked about people winning things that weren't "cash, cars, or vacations". He said he tells people who win things like hot tubs that they should just sell it for cash because the show doesn't pay for installation. He's lost a lot of weight and looked great. Overall, it was a fun show.

• It was not the best show in the world, for a few years it could be funny. Like a lot of sitcoms it went on too long and the characters got more and more stupid and one dimensional. Drew was a guest host on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me not too long ago, and I thought he did a decent job.

• Christa'a mother on the show was played by her real life aunt, Susan St James. Perfect casting because they really do look alike. Diedrich Bader, who played Oswald Lee Harvey, was so hot to me. Almost like a new Max Gail. Here are the boys doing a strip routine.

• Diedrich Bader is a handsome man. He looks like he has sizemeat.

• I used to know Drew, I do know he is into kinky S&M porn, but unlike most people I do not equate what one likes in porn to be what one likes in real life. He was one of the first men I knew to get his nipples pierced. He used to be quite good looking and with a great body when early 20's and right out of the marines... the problem was those tiny short teeth that kind of ruined his looks.... he had gone through some stuff I was not aware of until I read his book, and I wish I had been a bit kinder to him back then. I wish I had been a lot more compassionate to a lot of people back then as a matter of fact

• That was kind of awesome R8. I'd forgotten about that.
