Watching Drew Carey on Plex, been a long time. Just on season 1 and within the 1st few episodes there’s a multi-episode arc around Drew getting in trouble for harassment. Back then, arcs in sitcoms were fairly rare, Seinfeld season 4 was one of first substantial ones just a year or two earlier,but to have an arc in the 1st season seems crazy to me. Unlike Seinfeld, Carey must have had a full season order and no risk of being canceled to take a risk like that. Are there other examples of sitcoms having arcs in the 1st season.
