I was really worried when I heard of ABC/Drew carey doing the show,
especially since they advertised it as a 'game show' before it came on.
But I was pleasantly surprised that the format was essentially unchanged
and even included a lot of the regulars from the old show.  Drew Carey
is like a Megablok in the middle of a fine Lego creation.  But he's a
red 2x2 Megablok so he doesn't detract from the model :)

I'll always prefer Clive Anderson to Drew Carey.  Clive is a real "2x4
kinda guy."

In a typical US network move, because they have no imagination, it's been repackaged with a US host, Drew Carey. Not the first show, not the last. I used to watch the UK show that was morphed into "Three's Company". Way better than the US version. (...) (28 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
