One of the most innovative comedies on network television, The Drew Carey Show is a fast-paced half-hour series that depicts life through the eyes of comedian and author Drew Carey and his life-long gang of Cleveland friends. There are big changes in store this year, the series' eighth season. Everyman Drew gets a reality check - big time - after Kate, the girl he's always loved, announces she's getting married and moving away. Drew figures that if Kate can get married, then he can too. He chooses a date and proceeds with the wedding plans. There's just one thing missing — a bride. Will Drew be able to find a soul mate before his wedding day? He's a man with a mission. An old friend returns to the scene when Kellie (Cynthia Watros), who went to high school with Drew, moves back to Cleveland — recently divorced and desperately looking for work. Kellie always had a bit of a crush on Drew, despite the fact she was a few years behind him in school. Drew helps his old pal out by getting her a job as a waitress at The Warsaw. Her reappearance will complicate his already complex life. Things get difficult on the work front too when Winfred Louder, the department store, ceases to exist and morphs into neverendingstore.com, an internet shopping site. Drew is plunged into the fast-lane world of e-commerce, with new bosses, new co-workers and a whole new technology to contend with. Drew Carey stars as Drew, Diedrich Bader as Oswald, Kathy Kinney as Mimi Bobeck, Craig Ferguson as Nigel Wick, Ryan Stiles as Lewis, John Carroll Lynch as Steve and Cynthia Watros as Kellie. Drew Carey and Bruce Helford created The Drew Carey Show which premiered on September 13, 1995. Bruce Helford, Drew Carey, Clay Graham, Bruce Rasmussen, Deborah Oppenheimer, Les Firestein, Michael Teverbaugh, Dan O'Keefe and David Caplan are executive producers.
