Drew Carey is hosting a new show on The Travel Channel called Drew Carey's Sporting Adventures. The first episode aired last month (did anybody see it?). The hook for the show is that the comedian travels the world to teach us about international sports, beer and fight songs. It also looks like he gained back that weight he lost. After seeing a promo for the show, I went to the Travel Channel's fan website to learn more about it. I discovered links to video, blogs and photos but none of them actually feature Drew Carey. The blog is from one of the producers and the behind-the-scenes video is voiced and edited by a cameraman. WTF? Where's Drew? Phoning it in. That's where he is.

Wow... before you say Drew is 'phoning it in', you should watch the show. I have watched 3 or 4 episodes where he was in Germany for the World Cup. I think it was one of the better shows I have seen on the Travel Channel.
Maybe you are 'phoning it in' on your research?

I watched the premiere of "Drew Carey's Sporting Adventures" a few weeks ago and liked it. I've always been a big Drew Carey fan and this made soccer seem almost interesting. Another thing, I've been wanting to say this for a few months now... a note to some TV Squad writers: try watching the show before you review it. I won't mention any names, but some writers here are really "phoning it in." Some of them seem like they don't know UPN from UPS.
