‘Drew Carrey’ to bid adieu to ABC viewers
MUMBAI: Does Cleaveland rock? Certainly not on ABC as the heavyweight comic protagonist Drew Carrey is reported to exit quitely from the ABC line up.
In its ninth season, once the lion of ABC’s sitcom The Drew Carrey Show, will end its series on ABC. But the loyal viewers needn’t worry just yet, as the newer season is likely to make a come back on WB (Warner Brothers).
According to media reports, it is not surprising that ABC is doing away with the show on the down low, as it has burned off the past two seasons’ worth of episodes in the summer.
But although TDCS did not deliver ratings like the oh-so-popular Friends or Frasier , but it has a sort of an old world charm about it.
In finale, titled Finale, Kellie decides to marry Drew, but then goes into early labour. Drew then tries to throw together a makeshift hospital wedding so the two can be husband and wife before the baby is born.
On the home grounds, the show is currently expected to make a comeback on Star World.

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
