Fans of Improv Comedy?
 
Anyone a fan of improv comedy? Jonathan Winters is a master in this form and Who's Line Is It Anyway is fun from Drew Caray and the guys. Here is a clip of heroes related bits.

I love Whose line is it anyway?. The second season, since its return, starts this friday.

I think Ryan, Colin and Wayne are best of that group.

Yes I loved Whose Line Is It Anway? as well. The show you're referring to is similar, but it's called Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza and is definitely a lot of fun to watch. I hope I can catch it, but if not that's okay.

This is like the golden piece of improv comedy with Winter's segment with Jack Paar on his show following Tonight Show.

I don't think he's referring to Improv-a-ganza. Drew hosted the american Who's Line? during the 2000s.

GreenScreen Show, Improv-a-ganza and Trust Us wth Your Life were unofficial continuations but they were never as good, oddly.

Well Improv was good but had a horrendous amount of commercials and Trust Us was good but I assume it was cancelled after Fred Willard's legal issue.

I find the original Who's Line is it Anyway to be better than the current version, IMO

I also liked the series, Improv Heaven and Hell

Yes, I know Drew hosted the American version of Who's Line, but when he stated that it was coming back, I thought he meant Improv-A-Ganza which is similar to Who's Line.

And Candiandrome, the British version is good. Tony Slatterie was always my fave, especially in the end credits once where he had to play a drunk news reporter. That was great.

The new host Aisha Tyler does not have chemistry with the regular trio that is probably why.

There are plenty of extensive compliation clips on youtube of the Amercian incarnation if you wish to look through them.

Edit:Here is the similar enough Drew Carey's Improvaganza.

So if Who's Line is back, what channel is it on?

CW.

Anyway I don't get why so many people regard the british version as superior to the american version. Besides the host and some cultural differences its the same. Well a couple of members obviously are different but I mean the games and comedy are the same.

Sure I prefer the american version but thats just because I liked Drew Carey from his sitcom. Both versions are great.

BubblyShell22 03-21-2014 09:02 AM

Ah, I see. What time is it on?

Ah, I'm usually watching SmackDown, so I won't be watching it at all.

You can either A tape it on your DVR while you watch the other or B watch each episode streaming on the website via the permalink I posted above. So,yeah you watch it!

BubblyShell22 03-24-2014 08:34 AM

I don't have a DVR, and I don't really care about the show since people are saying it's not that good. I'll pass.

Wildcat 03-24-2014 11:25 PM

Bubblyshell22, Oh its good. I personally think its a triumphant return. Everything is the same except the host. It really doesn't bother me that the guests aren't audience members since the games they appear for are still the same.

People who say its not good are just hating because of the host and saying the guys are too old to keep doing it, Which is ridiculous. I don't really like Aisha Tyler but she really doesn't do anything anyway besides introduce stuff.

BubblyShell22 03-25-2014 08:19 AM

Whatever. I've got better things to watch, so I'll just stick with that. Screw it.
