Reviews

Ed Yes, the British version was perhaps better and Drew isn't Clive but he's not bad. But I also thought Greg vs. Clive was among the highlights of the British series. Everyone vs. Drew is also funny at times, especially when Drew gets that look when he knows what's coming, but somehow the British-American repartee works better in my opinion.Except for Drew, the cast members at the end of the British version were pretty much the same as the American version.I never cared much for the "three-headed" singing but Wayne's song improv is quite brilliant. (I suspect the music part is somewhat rehearsed and the words improvised to the music. I would imagine several musical styles might be prepared in advance.) I think the game where they sing to an audience member is a bit embarrassing and I only hope they give their permission to be "picked" beforehand.
Chris Horry Take 4 very talented comedians. Give them a skit to do completely unrehearsed. Sit back, and enjoy. Truly one of the best shows on television. I've tried to do improv myself in amateur dramatics and the people on this show make it look far easier than it really is!A US version exists, but the original UK show is marginally funnier than the American version. Tell Drew Carey to stop trying to do improv, bring some of the UK castmembers in and the US version will be just as funny. Both shows are currently being repeated on Comedy Central and ABC Family respectively.
lowerexpo The best thing about this show was Tony Slattery. He was the best improviser on the show, ever since he did he first show. He brought unpredictability to the show. He even did crazy impersonations, funny dances, and was not afraid to do anything. He even comes up with the best hoedowns.Yes, Ryan and Colin are classic performers, but Tony was the real deal. He made me laugh the most. He defined Whose Line. Some word of advice to ABC: BRING TONY BACK.
DontMochMe The god of comedy that is. I would give this show, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), a...10000000(etc) If you have not seen this show, a crime in some states, you absolutely MUST see it! Besides being a British comedy fan overall, the contestants are hilarious! Dare I say you've heard of the mighty Proopdog, Greg Proops, or King of Innuendo, Tony Slattery, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Josie Lawrence...Somebody stop me, I could go on forever! Why are they so great? you dare ask... Well, for starters, they make everything up on the spot aka IMPROV! Can you do that...As good as they can? Of course not! Once, I laughed so hard I began choking on the Twiglets I was eating. (To my fellow Americans: A Twiglet is a British pretzel/bisquit type thing.) With all the games they play (all improv mind you) you'll be thanking me for recommending you to this wonderful show. Oh, yes, if I haven't mentioned it before, Clive Anderson is a comical genius (he's the host). So, you know what to do! Stop reading this and go watch it! GO! Well, the channel would help...Comedy Central, (9:30 and 2:00, but that is central) Ciao!
