It was a fun show when it was run (even the random rerun had its quirkiness) and there was at least two theme songs for the show that I’m aware of (the other being 5:00 World by The Vouges)
I went through and re-watched the entire series a few years back and had no recollection that there were 3 different opening songs over the years. For some reason the only one i remembered was Cleveland Rocks.
I loved the challenge shows they did. You had to find everything “off” about the episode ie. Someone dressed as the wrong character, write them all down and MAIL THEM IN!! Thats right, mail. It was always a family event that night.
I used to live just down the road from the bar they were supposed to be hanging out in. They always showed the outside from the street before cutting to the interior stage. Anyhow the bar owner in Old Brooklyn changed the sign of the bar to match what was in the show. Apparently Drew Carry’s people immediately issued a cease and desist because he had no permission. He changed it back pronto.
I remember this show. It was one of the funnier sitcoms of its time. The first few seasons were a bit hit or miss. But as the show went on, it really found a winning formula. Every time Drew Carey clashed with Mimi, it was just magical. The time she knocked him out and he woke up in China was just hilarious.
It’s sad this show is so hard to find these days. I know there some BS legal reasons for it. But it still sucks because I feel like this show has aged better than mos sitcoms.
I like drew carey. But Cleveland sucks.
That band is so underrated. Just fun rock and roll.

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM) would probably be a more accurate show intro.
This show had at least 3 opening numbers, weird.
I miss this show!!!
I loved this show growing up. It was especially fun when during band there was an arrangement we played for this for one of our concerts.
It’s sad that you cannot re-watch this entire series in HD, or even good quality SD.
You **cannot even PAY** to watch it. It had 9 seasons, **233** episodes.
Reason: Rights to the music, boring legal stuff.
I never heard anybody say ‘I’m goin to Cleveland on vacation.’
What’s so good about Cleveland?
I picked up the soundtrack album back in the day, with this as the lead track. It was a good soundtrack album.
POTUSA is one my top favorite bands of all time!

Still the best opening to any show ever. Great song. Full cast hamming it up for the camera. Just great.

Spoiler alert: Cleveland does not, in fact, rock.
Why isn’t this show in syndicated re-runs?
OHIO!!! always watched this as a kid. one of the funniest sitcom casts of all time

Id love a reboot of this show.
Side note, does anybody else get this song mixed up with “Pumped up kicks”
Hella nostalgia.

I never noticed that Drew broke into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and stole Buddy Holly’s glasses because his were broken. Fascinating.
God damn that was the best show ever!
buen video
That’s a lot of people touching your hotdog before you eat it
The Cleveland gatekeepers right?
Cleveland sucks, actually.
I always thought the woman was Drew in drag. I legit didn’t think it was different person
What other shows start off with a fun dance/musical number? [Peacemaker’s intro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mrr3UNALww) is up there as well.
