Even though ABC has a contract for a couple more years, when do you think it'll end? It's not doing so well these days and I wouldn't be surprised to see it moved from the Wed. 9pm timeslot next season because of it.

I'd say it's dead. It's just not funny any more. Even Oswad and Lewis can't save it now.

If ABC loves the show so much, why did they move it to Friday night?
Sounds like they want it to fall even further in the ratings, so they can have an excuse for cancelling it.

"Drew" was once a great show, but I think it's time they pack it in. I think they should start gearing up for a grand finale this May...

If you looked at what I posted a while back, ABC has set Drew for another season-it's 9th. So the final isn't here yet

Well, that's really generous of ABC to let Drew stay on foe another year, even though the ratings have slipped.
It's too bad other networks weren't more generous to their long running shows.

I just don't get ABC. Why bury a show on Fridays and then renew it for another year? Drew Carey has definitely become "one of those shows" that have stayed long past their welcome.

ABC need to kill this show, the reason it is getting low ratings is because it just isn't funny anymore.
