How did the Drew Carey Show end?? Did he end up married or single?

McGillicuddy · 05-31-2009, 09:44 PM

The Office - Because of the dvd sets

Samantha Who? - I bought the first season dvd, now I'm disappointed its canned.

Most old shows I don't remember watching for the first time, but I do remember the first Brady Bunch I watched, the one when Marcia got braces.
I was hooked.

I was flipping channels on the Saturday Night right after Christmas last year and caught 2 episodes on my local CW station. I was immediately hooked(I never watched it in it's original run). That Monday I started watching it daily and a few days later discovered it on YouTube, where I ended up watching almost the entire series in the span of 2 weeks. I watched almost 100 episodes in 3 days alone.

Desinging Women was like that for me. The first time i saw it i was in LOVE with it. everything about it was utter perfection to me. I first saw it during it's original run in the 1980's and i have never not watched it. It was on Lifetime for nearly a decade so that's mostly where i saw it, but now thanks to internet and DVD i still get to watch it all the time.

Also, The Golden Girls and Facts Of life were like that for me too. i loved them the second i saw them.

The last episode of "The Drew Carey Show" aired on September 8, 2004 (All Season 9 episodes were pushed back until the summer of 2004 because ABC obviously didn't care about the show by that time). In that last episode, Drew married Kellie Newmark, and she gave birth to a boy that very same day! (They named him Drew Jr.)

Adamantium · 06-01-2009, 07:44 AM

NewsRadio - I watched the very first episode when it first aired and I became a fan instantly. My sister was taping the show at the time, so I was able to watch each episode a bunch of times waiting for the next episode to air. This is the reason I know the first season by heart, lol.

Good question. Actually, I didn't watch it in the last couple of seasons. I liked it best when it was just centred around the immediate "gang". It started to get a bit outlandish for me after about the 3rd season or so.
