The Drew Carey Show is back in Cleveland and technically everywhere, as it is available to stream for the first time ever on Plex.

Plex, a free, ad-supported streaming service, will host all 233 episodes from the show's nine seasons, which ran from 1995 to 2004.

“It’s not in syndication … because of music rights and stuff,” Carey explained to TV Insider in June. “We’re going to try to change that around and get it back out there. … It’s pretty funny, and a lot of it’s kind of timeless.”

With the ’90s hit show back out there, you are able to watch Carey’s and Kate’s on-and-off relationship get a second life, or get reacquainted with Carey’s and Mimi’s dislike for each other.

Plex is available to download on Android’s Play Store, Apple’s App Store and Roku’s App Store.
