How much fun is this opening? The choreography, the song choice, the sixties throwback references. You could tell everyone was loving life during this number.
I never watched the show...knew nothing about it; but I just did a search for this song, and up popped this video, which is hilarious. Who did the choreography for it ?
Thank you for knowing that’s the 60s. I couldn’t stand when I’d go to a 60s themed party or event and 95% of people who be lazily dressed as hippies. Woodstock, the ultimate epitome of hippie culture, wasn’t until mid August 1969. I will say the popularity of another great show, Madmen, has educated more people on what the clothing of the 1960s actually looked like.
I haven't seen any other sitcom that as frequently did live shows (let alone performing each one THREE times), musical numbers, and April Fool's Day episodes like this show did
The writers and cast had to have been big musical theater nerds. those huge musical numbers are a big undertaking for a sitcom and the show did so many of them.

@@sailbatten2056 No, this was season two. I remember it because it was premier night for the new season and all the press was on Molly Ringwald's "Townies." THEY opened with toilet humor and went downhill from there. Drew opened with THIS showing far more respect for his audience. Cleveland Rocks (also a good opening) came later.
That was a great sitcom in general, but the openings made it pretty unique. You'll never see effort like this put into an show opening again, and it sure pays off. Feels great to watch even a generation later.
@@bostonrailfan2427 I think for shows now Doing the pre intro to the actual show would be one way to do this. Not enough Streaming shows do this anymore.
Who among The Vogues would've thought their song would be used almost 30 years after it was released as an opening for a sitcom? Only Drew Carey could pull that off.
Even as a retiree and pushing on 68, this intro to 'The Drew Carey Show' still brings back my days of the end of my work day at 5 o'clock. Especially on Friday's and "Happy Hour" with my buddies from the Machine Shop. Did we ever get blasted!
Hello being a BABY BOOMER myself and 71 nothing like good clips to remind us work back in the 60's and music was worth those hours I love music and dancing Portland, or
Exciting to be a Clevelander when one of our own hit it big and who was so proud of his C-Town heritage. A great time to live on the North Coast. And a great show to boot. I remember seeing him with a pretty girl on his arm on West 9th at the height of his fame, circa 1997.
+Harry Mann Jr Yep. I've got one on right now. What I love about it is how, now and then, they will cut to Drew losing it at some funny line--stuff that other shows would have made into outtakes. Everybody's clearly having a great time.
What no one's mentioning is that this over 2 minute opening of Five O'Clock World WAS THE REAL OPENING of Drew's show at this point. Absolutely unbelievable and unheard of today. The 90's are soooo drastically different in every way now; my God!
How have I NEVER seen this opening?! 😹😹😹 I Always thought it was just a shortened 30 second version for the theme song lol. This is so awesome. The 90s were the best. And I am blessed to have been growing up during it. I probably don’t remember the opening because it was on past my bedtime lol.
Same here. They just did it because... they wanted to. Entertainers with an idea to entertain people. You don't often see spontaneity like that on the TVs. It's pretty interesting to see that all these later so many people are still uplifted by this. So...good job Drew Carey Show people.
Remember watching this when I was kid. Always brightened up my nights. Didn’t have DVR at the time so I would race to the TV to catch the intro hoping that the network didn’t shorten it. My late dad has a huge Vogues record collection.
Incredible lyrics! The last stanza really caps it:"And my 5 o clock world she waits for me, nothing else matters at all... Cause every time my baby smiles at me I know that its all worth while yeah..." The Vogues really did it on this one!
The song came out when I was a kid and it really romanticized daily life and relationships back in the early 60s. And once I married the girl of my dreams it pretty much felt that way for me too. The Vogues articulated it better than anyone could have. Just kept thinking, where would we be without our women?
One of the reasons I like Drew Carey is because he always seems to having fun in everything he does, whether it's The Price Is Right or shows like this.
I don't know what made me check this out but I'm glad I did. A pleasant look into the past. I didn't realize how happy I'd be to see Purple Dress Lady again.
Sadly it had dire consequences for the show's longevity; Drew never saw DVD coming and extensive usage of songs like this is why the show can never be released on DVD and why it's no longer in syndication.
@@tanyawieczorek6603 music licensing. Five O'Clock World is a real world song not something the show created for itself so they have to pay royalties for it's usage on all home video releases and syndication, since Carey and ABC only licensed it for the short term not long term. It was one of SEVERAL real life songs that were licensed for the show and Carey/ABC didn't think much of the consequences of using real world music as far as it costing them money that the show's owners would ultimately refuse to pay that would effectively bar it from getting DVD release let alone reruns down the line.
You can't do that and expect the sets to sell. heavily butchered sets that purge licensed music from shows tend to sell VERY VERY poorly as far as fans not wanting their show butchered.@@Trtevoorryu
Let's address the girl in the blue dress....makes her entrance at about the 1:20 mark....be still my beating heart!!! Love the choreography and love the show!!!!!!
Used to hear this song all the time on the oldies station my dad always had the car radio tuned to. And y'know what? I loved it then, and I still love it now ^_^
I come back to watch this whenever i need a pick me up and end up re-watching a few extra times. There's so many funny little moments in it like Drew trying but failing to eat the donuts or Drew and Mimi choking each other. And he moves really well for a big guy near the end.
I worked set lighting at WB and my bud ran the lighting board. He introduced me to Mimi,Kathy and being from Wisconsin, she gave me 15 minutes. I never talk to talent, but this show was different. Even outside the stage Ryan and Oswald would walk up like we were buds. I miss that show. Then there was Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton......
Always thought that this Opening intro to the show was the best they did. Love the whole dance routine which was perfect for the song, especially the ending. Katy Selverstone (Lisa) was Hot that First Season.
Best quitting time song ever. Tho Takin Care of Business is second, the lyrics in 5 o'clock world connect with more people. Very underrated song and band
Scotty Deerwood The song and the band underrated? I remember when it came out and it was at the top for a long time. And the Vogues are still performing! How can they be underrated?
From Cleveland and was only like 9 or so when the show started (my mom bought the soundtrack whenever that came out 😂) but looking back at this now…it really had no business having such a sophisticated and high quality intro. Like, not just the choreography but there is **ballet**!
***** This alone makes The Drew Carey Show a noteworthy sitcom. No shows have any real kind of opening at all anymore, let alone anything extravagant like this. The only sitcom of the 2010's I really like is 'The Middle' but has no real 'opening'. The CSI's use the same song by 'The Who' and the unwatchably bad 2010-? Hawaii 5-0 uses a very cutdown version of the original. Still nothing original like in the '80s like 'MacGyver', 'The Fall Guy' and 'TJ Hooker'. We live in a time of near nothingness now, so what we don't have anymore goes along with it.
+Bob Pierce Back in the 80s and early 90s, there were people who specialized in putting together opening title sequences like that. I remember hearing that the producers of "Coach" paid quite a sum just for that minute of opening montage.
@@onnapnewo I vaguely recall seeing a version where they showed a viewer homemade video replicating the woman in a cage part. I haven't seen that in at least 20 years, but I do remember seeing it during the intro to an episode.
The show began in the fall of 1995. In 2001, after six seasons, it received a 3 year contract from ABC guaranteeing its run through at least the Summer of '04. Talk about respect.
@@tonydimeo1882 Agreed. I think the show should have ended when Mimi married Steve, but when Christa Miller left, it definitely should have ended. It wasn't the same show after that.
I remember watching this in the late 90s-early 2000s. Drew ending up in china and the episode where he thinks he slept with mimi on the train were what I remember as being some of the last episodes I saw. The episode where he gets punched by multiple women for cheating was a conclusion in my memory. I wish this show was on streaming so bad.
@@Blueeyes2584A will never forget when Steve and Mimi started dating and Drew was upset that he could potentially be related to his arch-enemy Mimi--Oswald said--"Drew you shouldn't discourage their love..you should encourage it--Just think of all the funny lookng babies they could make!!" LOL!!
@@daustin8888 you don't have to be IN a war, to be a veteran, what's wrong with you?? As long as you enlist, and serve your active years, you're a veteran. Hello?
Just saw The Vogues play this live last night. Their on a 60's bands tour with The Turtles, The Grass Roots, The Association, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, and The Cowsills. Lots of hit songs. It's the Happy Together tour.
In the last season, it became the first show to have three theme songs in rotation. One week, it was Moon Over Parma, next week was Five O'clock World, and the next week was Cleveland Rocks.
Watching this intro makes me feel sad because it reminds me of the first five years of the Drew Carey Show, and how much I miss those days. It and "Home Improvement" were my favorite ABC comedy shows of the mid/late 90's; they made excellent use of "subtle humor". For a while, DCS was the nearest thing to Seinfeld-style comedy that regular TV had to offer after Seinfeld went off the air in '98 (which is not to say DCS didn't have it's own merits; just that's the style of comedy I love). Hard to believe the show is almost 20 years old! Where have the years gone? Sheesh, I sound like an old timer and I'm not even 31 yet! Anyway, I hope SOMETIME before I die, this show becomes available in its entirety on Netflix or Blu Ray. I want to "relive" my early teen years through this great show.
90 best time to be a kid .TGIF ,gigipets , Monday night wars, friends,third rock, Raymond, King of Queens, drew Carey, Seinfeld, just shoot me Simpsons and Gameboy
In it's later seasons the Drew Carey Show though abandoned subtlety and went for farce and just bizarre plot lines. Drew dying and his soul meeting his soul of his future nephew on his way to heaven was one of them.

I think this had to be the best opening number for Any sitcom!

No one had as much fun making a sitcom as Drew Carey did.

Great choreography to great music!!!
Undoubtedly, The Drew Carey Show was criminally underrated
One of the best openings ever...

This is easily one of the best show openings ever.
I agree, especially @ 2:07 when they all raise their hands in time to the word " heh," love it.
Absolutely
Oh hell, yes.
It's the best show opening ever!
Only thing that can top this is the "Cleveland Rocks" opening.
The most relatable line in music history: "Tradin' my time for the pay I get; livin' on the money that I ain't made yet."
You got that right.
Absolutely! ❤❤❤

The Drew Carey show and northern exposure were two of the best Juke boxes in television.
I love that Drew Carey always worked big musical numbers into the show. This was truly a special sitcom

I miss this show
I was in my 20's and life was a party. Damn I miss the 80's and 90's.
Everything was just a lot simpler and that was alright.
I was in my 20's in the 2010s. And it was shit. I guess it's not just nostalgia.

Only one sort of still doing this is or was the Simpsons before Disney bought the Show off Fox and kind of stopped the show after the 32 or 33 season.

it was the first use of it, they cut it back afterwards but kept it for the rest of the season
Marvelous Ms. Maisel does some kind of similar things in some episodes
Wasn’t normal back then at all. This show was cutting its own path.

Drew Carey got it right using "Five O'Clock World," one of the great hits of all time.
Sadly it had dire consequences for the show's longevity; Drew never saw DVD coming and extensive usage of songs like this is why the show can never be released on DVD and why it's no longer in syndication.

Five O'Clock World is a real world song not something the show created for itself so they have to pay royalties for it's usage on all home video releases and syndication, since Carey and ABC only licensed it for the short term not long term. It was one of SEVERAL real life songs that were licensed for the show and Carey/ABC didn't think much of the consequences of using real world music as far as it costing them money that the show's owners would ultimately refuse to pay that would effectively bar it from getting DVD release let alone reruns down the line.

Wish I could wake up like this every morning!
Joyous!
One of the best shows of all times!
Couldn't agree more!
Now you can see him on the price is right on cbs everyday, & He has a great sense of humor!
Vance Dance
Absolutely. It was quality.
Just started watching this on Laff network .
Man, I miss this show.
In the last season, it became the first show to have three theme songs in rotation. One week, it was Moon Over Parma, next week was Five O'clock World, and the next week was Cleveland Rocks.
I'd love to dance wuth drew carey
It always seemed they enjoyed making that show. Good feelings. Their 60s homage was spot on.
Great show, miss it much.
This Is My Favorite Theam Song From The Whole Series. I love The Show. But This Was Just Awesome.
Mine too, wish that it would have stayed throughout the run of the entire series instead of changing to "Cleveland Rocks"!
The people/dancers receiving their paychecks was so cool 👍👌😀
Watching this intro makes me feel sad because it reminds me of the first five years of the Drew Carey Show, and how much I miss those days. It and "Home Improvement" were my favorite ABC comedy shows of the mid/late 90's; they made excellent use of "subtle humor". For a while, DCS was the nearest thing to Seinfeld-style comedy that regular TV had to offer after Seinfeld went off the air in '98 (which is not to say DCS didn't have it's own merits; just that's the style of comedy I love). Hard to believe the show is almost 20 years old! Where have the years gone?
Sheesh, I sound like an old timer and I'm not even 31 yet! Anyway, I hope SOMETIME before I die, this show becomes available in its entirety on Netflix or Blu Ray. I want to "relive" my early teen years through this great show.
You sound like a cool dude. Enjoy your next twenty years. They go by fast, brother.
90 best time to be a kid .TGIF ,gigipets , Monday night wars, friends,third rock, Raymond, King of Queens, drew Carey, Seinfeld, just shoot me Simpsons and Gameboy
In it's later seasons the Drew Carey Show though abandoned subtlety and went for farce and just bizarre plot lines. Drew dying and his soul meeting his soul of his future nephew on his way to heaven was one of them.
@@bigjohn08865 they did have a season where drew Carey and his buddies head to drugco and find some bizarre things
That show and theme song were both great.
