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.

After many years of begging and waiting, Whose line is back on the air. Whose line is one of the funniest shows ever made and since the talk of it coming back, people have been going crazy and their expectations of the show have skyrocketed. So lets get down with the review. Most of the cast is back; Colin, Ryan, Wayne, Laura Hall and are fun 4th seater's. The new addition is Aisha who replaced Drew Carey. The transition from Drew to Aisha will be hard for most viewers but in a few episodes she'll grow on you but the thing I don't like is that she doesn't interact with the cast but if she changes that then she could be a great host. The set has changed and resembles the UK whose line a bit which will make old fans feel a bit nostalgic. Fans will be overjoyed to see some of their favorite games return and some new clever games as well. All in all, the show is as funny as ever with the same chemistry between members, great games and some fun guest members and a new host that has a lot of potential. Excited to see how the rest of the season goes.

Yep folks, i'll give them even more that 11 out of 10 if it will matter. This is the best comedy show on the planet ! And as much as i like SNL , this one cannot be beaten . Let's put it this way : the guys know each other for eons; they all been at the improvisation school; they are talented ; they sing well ; Aisha is more articulate than Drew ; she is a stunner ; she is more snappy ; the guests are up there with the rest of the crew ; they are not afraid to try new ideas ; and much more. Me and my wife, are certain to go to a recording session when we will visit US . We have to plan that, but by God, they deserve that effort from us.

And now, ladies and gents , the main reason for why we really like the WLIIA is the fact that actors , in fact all crew, do not " burn out " ,to use Robbin Williams's expression . He , the real God of comedy, said that he himself has to take breaks from comedy cos' in the comedy , the actors do " burn out" easy. Well it seems to me that the boys and girls from the WLIIA are the eternal fire . A sincere bravo and many thanks for making my miserable life a little bit more bearable and light. My way out of insanity. LOL .

I don't want to make a final judgment on the revival yet. Don't get me wrong...I love it so far, but it could do better (if you've ever seen the original series, you'll know what I'm talking about). Here's a short list of what I think they'll need if they want to bring back the magic of the original:

1. Aisha needs to become more comfortable with the cast and tell more jokes. I know she's new so I'll cut her a break for now, but hopefully by the end of this season all the awkwardness will be gone. For me, the biggest things are her jokes. They seem flat and safe and definitely unlike Drew's from the old show (granted, he was pretty awkward in his first season too). Haven't heard a "...and the points don't matter. That's right, they're like (something that doesn't matter)." Her unscripted parts (reactions, mostly) seem to be very tame too...nothing more than playful nudges (we need full-on attacks like Carey gave us in the first series). I am a hugggge Archer fan so I know Aisha is capable of being funny.

2. Change the ending format. I know in the first few seasons (maybe just the first) of the original series they did what this series is doing now...the "winner" reads the credits. This needs to stop and they need to get the "final game with the host" going again. This will make Aisha more comfortable with the cast and give us more jokes. Also, what's up with the no "Irish Drinking Song"s? That, World's Worst and Props are always the best three to finish a show off with.

3. Stop with the lame guests and bring back Proops. Firstly, the guests are awkward and are nothing more than eye candy. OK, the Glee kid was fun, but that was the exception, not the rule. Most of them stand around, confused and shy and it just pains me to watch it. If you bring in a guest, make sure they're down like a clown Charlie Brown. Also, Greg Proops was always the funniest fourth in the original series and it will greatly sadden me if they don't use him at all in this one.

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.
