Critic Reviews
Jun 11, 2013
Season 1 Review:
Carey himself is a fidgety guy. He doesn't just deliver a line — he kind of dances around it, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. At first I found this, combined with his habit of looking down and grinning fixedly when he speaks to someone, pretty annoying. But his lines are so amusing and his timing so sharp that I've come to like Carey's anti-acting style.

Season 1 Review:
"The Drew Carey Show" bucks all the prevailing sitcom trends and does it endearingly. [17 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Though Carey has friends, his show is no 'Friends'-style ensemble comedy. It's closer to a blue-collar 'Seinfeld,' a star vehicle purpose-built to exploit its star's best talents, which it does quite effectively. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
The writing, which draws heavily on Carey's stand-up act, is often funny, with wry comments about life's absurdities. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
[Carey is] a fresh and winning presence, but so strong that the show will have to work to see that the other characters hold their own. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Carey, a stand-up comedy veteran, has great timing and expression. It's easy to relate to his working-class persona. Now if someone could just make his friends a little funnier, "Drew Carey" could be a winner. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
One of the best of the new crop of sitcoms, a sort of low-rent, anti-glamour Friends, featuring a sharp-witted, likable and hilariously self-deprecating guy. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Carey is likable enough, but The Drew Carey Show needs polishing if it's going to grow on America. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Whatever Carey's trademark humor may be, it's lost in the translation to this forgettable show. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Carey always keeps you watching, although he's always threatening to be funnier than he is. But more than any other "Friends" ripoff, this show's supporting actors slow down the central character - they're set decoration. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
The crew-cut and heavy black glasses are more memorable than the series. [13 Sep 1995]

Season 1 Review:
The concept is "Seinfeld," but with "regular guys"--"regular," in this case, meaning "dull, dull, dull." [13 Sep 1995]
