The best show I have seen. It's wonderful to see intelligence at work in a visible form. I simply cannot stop watching but binge for hours all day with my mouth open either gazing out of amazement or actually laughing out loud.
Each resident has his own specialty. Chip Esten and Brad Sherwood are excellent making up lyrics on the go. Jeff Davis is great at hosting. Greg Proops is full of humor. Ryan Stiles has quick wits on top of his drole facial expression. Colin Mochrie's hair, did he dye it, is so foxy. Jonathan Mangum is my favorite, most brilliant and energetic. Drew Carey holds court while passing the reign to others. But vibe or not, none of the guest stars can match up. A little embarrassing but it just goes to show that improvisation is not something anyone can pull off.

I was a big fan of Whose line, and i wanted badly to the show to be back.
Well, here is it. I have to say it, when i first watch it, i didn't liked it so much because it has changed so much, the good thing is that i don't abandon shows after 1-2 episodes.
What i liked about whose line pretty much has gone, like certain combos (ryan/colin) etc,though it still happen, they are uncommon, but instead we have a bigger cast. Imagine colin, ryan, jeff, brad, gregg, and drew at the same time. All those heavy weights together, certainly worth some few less games.
The game has also introduced new cast, though a bit less known, certainly good, specially Jonathan, he does an amazing job, he is certainly at the same level of chip or brad.
Since the rotation is is heavy, you never know who might be appearing except from jeff and drew. I thought Jeff was amazing in whose lie, he has more participation here, the weight of the show pretty much falls on him instead of wayne, and he does a great job.
The only drawback in the show is Kathy Kinney, she is not good at all, but fortunately, she is not a regular, and don't appear too often.
The show has more interaction with the public, not only from games like sfx or a singing game, but rather asking pretty much all of the suggestions for the games at mid game. Which makes it funny in its own way.
At the end, we get a new show, with the hearth of whose line, but very different to know that is not a carbon copy. Give this show a try, you will not regret it.

Drew Carey is a funny, funny man. However, it's sad to see how much his image has changed since he started hosting the Price is right. the goofy glasses are gone, the jolly belly is gone, and his buzz cut is no longer there. He's still funny, but even with his new show, Drew Carey's improv-a-Ganza, the humour doesn't feel genuine. Even the cast doesn't feel very exciting anymore.
Improv-a-ganza is pretty much the exact same thing as Whose line is it anyway?, but it doesn't have all the games WLIIA had and the games they do play last too long. There is the occasional laugh, but i find that the show is mostly tasteless.
The worst part was Charlie sheen's guest appearance in the last segment of the second episode. Charlie sheen should have stuck with Two and a half men cause that's the only place I can laugh at his jokes. I actually turned off the show after he said "Charlie sheen ****ing a dead hooker" 2 times because it was not funny at all.
I beg you Drew Carey, PLEASE bring back "Whose line is it anyway?" because that was so much better than this.

This is as close as we're gonna get to having Whose Line back on the air. I can see this show lasting a LONG time because of it's hilarity. It will, however need time to become such a classic and iconic show like Whose Line is, and just by watching the first few episodes, I can tell that that moment is not far off. If you don't get the GSN, try the GSN website for episodes or the Improv-a-ganza's facebook page as I've found the first episode is posted there. I have never written a review before here on IMDb, and I found Improv-a-Ganza worthy of my time to review it. It is so good to have all the guys from Whose Line back together again, even if Wayne Brady isn't a full time member (which is kind of a bummer really). Go ahead and enjoy it. I can tell this is gonna be on TV for a while so just kick back and enjoy Drew Carey's Improv-a-ganza and laugh you butt off.
WLIIA is formulaic, but it's worked since the 80's. Gave this series a six episode try and it's just not that good. The skits go on too long, and even though they share a lot of the same games, most fall flat. The hardest part is that this has the entire male cast of Whose Line involved, and somehow it just doesn't hold up. Ryan, Colin, Brad, Jeff, Jon, Greg, Wayne, Drew, they're all in it. Usually the stage is slammed with six performers. But somehow it just didn't mesh. It always feels like the show got cut short, or the previews fill up lack of time, and there seems to be some rough cuts. Almost like jump cuts. Not a whole lot of celebrity guests, unless you count Charlie Sheen right after his "WINNING" spiral post Two and a Half Men. (Remember, this was 2010-2011.) This also was the start of Drew's strange healthy transition. And it is strange. We all grew up watching the Drew Carey Show and especially early 2000's Whose Line where jovial, crew cut Drew made us smile and cringe simultaneously with his flat punchlines and occasional dead shot repartees. Here, he's like a new age hipster punching above his weight class. With a soul patch.
I'm glad things worked out and Whose Line came back with Aisha while Drew took over for Bob on Price Is Right. This was not the show to invest in. At the time of this writing CW is releasing the final season of Whose Line, but I'm sure something will come along in the same vein as this entity between projects. And I'm sure it will do better.
