    The true star of this show is Wayne Brady

    Typically everyone seems to be crazy about either Ryan or Colin but the true star of this show is Wayne Brady with his hilarious songs in every episode. Songs are probably the most difficult part of the improvisation anyways and he does an amazing job.

    The only issue I have with this show is that they keep playing the same games with same people episode after episode so it gets a bit too repetitive and predictable at times. They should try a larger variety of games and different things instead of recycling the same games with a slightly different theme in 90% of the episodes.

    I'd give Wayne 10/10, Colin and Ryan 9/10 and other guests about 8/10.

    This is what you wanted. Me too.

    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.

    11 out of 10

    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 .

    Love this show!

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

    Reboot

    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.

    • Trivia
      Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie are best friends in real life.
    • Goofs
      The show is supposedly improvised but somehow when they play film dub they know what's going to happen in the film before hand. The only way they know this is if they've seen the film before therefore they've rehearsed it. Update: it has been revealed that the cast views these films before the show is recorded, but they don't know ahead of time what is involved in other games. A slight exception for Colin and Ryan is when they play some games that had the same setup as when they were played on the British version. For these games, Colin and Ryan might repeat lines, if they can remember them from 20 or so years ago.
