The Drew Carey Show (Syndicated, TBS)
common sense media says
Mature sitcom is big on laughs, short on values.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this show's humor often relates to the love of (and need for) beer on a regular basis, the desire for more sex in the single scene, and mean-spirited jokes about body weight and appearance. Many of the characters lack ambition for much more than their daily trip to the neighborhood bar, and, as such, they find their careers and personal lives unfulfilling. The show lacks any valuable lessons and should be viewed strictly as light entertainment.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Sex and body part humor are often played for laughs, but it's mostly inexplicitly worded. Occasionally men walk around in boxers, women in bras.
Language:
"Damn," "ass," and "hell" are used infrequently.
Consumerism:
Brandless junk food and soda.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not only do the characters drink a lot at home, their favorite hangout is a bar. It's rare that any negative consequences from drinking are shown; it's treated as part of their relaxation routine. The friends brew their own concoction of beer and coffee called Buzz Beer.
