And sure, Seinfeld was about horrible folks, however so is It’s All the time Sunny In Philadelphia, which does a a lot better job of creating certain the Gang is all the time the butt of the joke. The Drew Carey Present is refreshing in what in the present day can be thought of “clear comedy” whereas really being humorous.
The storyline of Mr. Wick (Craig Ferguson) marrying Drew to remain within the nation is even dealt with properly, and this was written again when homosexual marriage was solely authorized in Vermont. Alright, I’ll admit “dealt with properly” could also be overstating it, as by mid-season, the gag has run its course, nevertheless it manages to turn into unfunny as an alternative of offensive.
