"New York and Queens" was seen by an estimated 11.4 million viewers, finishing in 18th place in the ratings the week it aired. The episode received mixed to positive reviews from television critics.

The award makes Drew feel like he has wasted his life and he convinces his friends Kate (Christa Miller), Lewis (Ryan Stiles) and Oswald (Diedrich Bader) to take a trip to New York City in the Buzz Beer delivery truck, so they can watch a baseball game. Once they make it to the city, the gang become stuck in a large traffic jam. While waiting, they meet Donald Trump, who, upon learning they are visiting from Cleveland, gives them free tickets to his box at Yankee Stadium. The gang become annoyed when somebody repeatedly rams their truck from behind and Drew soon discovers that it is Carol Channing. Once the traffic clears, the gang realise the truck is out of fuel. To make some quick money, Drew and Lewis sell two cases of beer to a local store clerk (Luis Antonio Ramos). An ice cream cart vendor (Peter Iacangelo) begins hitting the truck, as he thinks the gang are trying to take over his territory, and Drew argues with him. A Detective (Nicholas Turturro) arrives on the scene and arrests the gang for selling alcohol without a license. After returning home to Cleveland, Drew convinces Kate, Lewis and Oswald to go watch a midnight screening of ''The Rocky Horror Picture Show''. As they arrive at the theater, they are surprised to see that their film has been replaced with ''The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'', which Drew's enemy Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney), Mr. Wick and other office workers have come to see. The gang argue with the Priscilla fans about which film is better and a dance-off ensues. The police break it up and arrest Drew and Mimi. Back at Drew's house, Kate questions why they keep getting sucked into big dance numbers and Drew gets up to sing and dance again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New York and Queens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
