Drew Carey is a good guy, and funny. Not the same show though.


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."
