The Drew Carey Show (1995 - 2004)

Pressure to fill a cosmetics-counter job has Drew a shade irascible--especially after interviewing an applicant with "unusual" make-up habits.

Drew finally meets "Miss Right," only to discover she's also just right for a job he's trying to fill. Meanwhile, Mimi's back--and this time, it's personal: she's been hired as personal assistant to Drew's boss.

Drew vows to throw Kate a surprise shotgun wedding, after she laments that one of the states she never entered was that of holy matrimony. Meanwhile, a co-worker asks Drew to fire him.

Drew sends out a memo limiting employees' phone usage at work, but his attempt at levity--a risqué cartoon attached to the note--isn't well received by everybody.

Drew's painted into a corner when a female co-worker draws the wrong conclusions from a cartoon he distributed.

Drew finally gets his day in court to defend himself against sexual-harassment charges. But he lends his case little appeal when he acts as his own counsel.

Drew feels family ties tightening around his neck when he takes Lewis's sister on a date, and she falls for him--much to Lewis's (and Drew's) chagrin.

The store's owner asks Drew to be her personal assistant, but his new position soon turns compromising when her interest extends into his private life.

Drew and his buddies welcome back an old high-school friend, but Kate's up in arms about the "new guy" horning in on her territory.

Drew's dad pressures him to join his lodge, the Wildebeests, so he can make gnu, er, new business connections.

Things look ho-ho-hopeless for Drew when the store's employees--including Kate--go on strike during the holiday rush, and he's forced to hire scabs to replace them.

After hiring a criminally insane employee, Drew has to fire him without creating any bad blood--or losing any good blood.

Drew agrees to show Mr. Bell's spoiled nephew the ropes at work, but he's soon trying to give the upstart enough rope to hang himself.

A life-altering experience reawakens Drew's aspiration to spend his life behind an altar--as a minister. But his renewed devotion leads to a baptism of fire when he's called upon to dispense advice.

The good news: Drew's dream of getting a personal assistant comes true. The bad news: Mimi is it.

Drew may have to terminate his affair with Lisa or risk job termination when the store bans interoffice dating. His solution? Ask Kate's boyfriend to pretend he's dating Lisa, to throw co-workers off the track.

Drew decides to ask out his party-animal hairdresser after Lisa cuts him loose to start dating other people.

Lisa, Kate and Mimi are candidates to head the store's personal-services department, and Drew has trouble deciding among them.

Drew's in a knotty position when he tries to straighten out family ties between Kate and her mom.

Stagnated in his job, Drew takes the bull by the horns and convinces the board to use animal mascots for the store. But things turn beastly for Drew when the creatures get loose.

Drew starts his own beermaking business after learning there's trouble brewing at the store and that he could be getting canned.
