Whose Line Is It Anyway?

This is exactly what lovers of the original Drew-hosted Whose Line want: More Whose Line.

There's not a whole lot to say other than address the main negative comment from viewers:

"No Drew Carrey, and not-so-funny-host now." Well... boo hoo. I did notice that Aisha Tyler hasn't made me laugh as much as Drew might have, but that was because she isn't telling enough Points-Don't-Matter jokes, and jokes in general. She seems to be more or less the announcer no one truly looks forward to. But she's okay, honestly. I've never known her until Whose Line, and she's a fun person who reacts to the guys in ways that make you wanna laugh too. Drew Carrey was pretty much there for the same thing, and fat jokes. And he's no longer fat. (in short, he wasn't a particularly funny guy either, at least alone) I like Aisha. She might need to tell more jokes though, and they don't have to be original.

More positive criticism: I enjoy how they leave one seat open for a guest player to participate in. Having one seat open--while Colin, Ryan, and Wayne are planted on the show--allows for many different folks from various areas in the world of comedy to sit in. Back in the day, Steven Colbert was on the show, and it was awesome. Perhaps he can reunite and be in the second chair again.

Another note which is up for debate is about how Whose Line is now on the CW.22, and a lot of guest stars are stars from CW shows. Whose Line is becoming promotional for the Dramas comedy lovers wouldn't normally care about. I only watch CW for Whose Line. But if someone might be interested in something different while watching it, they also might love the show that Whose Line promoted, so... it's debatable.

Lastly, Whose Line is genuinely funny, not 'again' but 'still.' Wayne, Colin, and Ryan are all themselves still, and the show so far has made me laugh as much as the original, at a similar show intake of course. I don't expect EVERYTHING to be the same, and to those that think the show isn't the same any more...

Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady. Laura Hall, Linda Taylor. "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" "The points don't matter," along with a bundle of the classic games that were played...

So shut up.

I'm excited to sit down every Tuesday for this show. Potential is no longer the story; this show is freaking funny as hell... and that's all that should matter.

I LOVED the old Whose Line, the U.S version with Drew Carry. My brother and I just watched the first two episodes and to be honest we were skeptical at first, but we cracked up. The new host is a little annoying, but I'm just not used to her and it's very hard to beat Drew but she's not too awful, I'm we can get used to her. As for other aspects of the show, Wayne, Colin, and Ryan are still as funny as ever (though they look a bit older) their comedy is still as fresh as ever. The outline of the show has almost not been touched even when the commercials come on are almost the same, which to me is great. They added a few games, which were hilarious actually so overall I think that this is a start to another great show and I'm very excited to watch more.

Folks reviewing here seem to be unaware that the ORIGINAL Whose Line Is It Anyway? was created in Britain in the late 1980s.

Aisha does fine, she's growing into it. Drew Carey wasn't all that great in the first couple of seasons of the US version either - bottom line here is that it's the same folks we loved from the US version playing the same games, and are just as funny as they were back then. Will we get a repeat of Captain Hair, "The Cat", or any of the other classic bits from the Drew Carey hosted show? Probably not .. give them a chance, though, and perhaps they'll create some new memories :)

They also have brought some new talent into the fold, which is nice - I could do without the comedic challenged "guest stars" from the CW shows that they bring in from time to time. And lose the ubiquitous hashtags on the screen constantly!

I never watched the original British verson, but I liked the Drew Carey one, and also the current Aisha Tyler one. Sometimes I wonder if Drew will make a guest appearance in this reboot.

The jokes are somewhat more adult in this version, and I guess that's the way things are in comedy.

This show can ALWAYS make me laugh, even on my saddest, toughest days. My absolute favorite game is Scenes from a Hat!
