TV: Whose Line is it Anyway?

[TootooTrain]

Love this show. Was just re-watching a couple of old episodes which almost made me wet my pants.

It got me thinking, would it be possible to re-boot the show with new comedians/actors? Now ofcourse the show I know and love is a re-boot itself. The original was based in the UK with Clive Anderson as the host. Some say improv comedy is out of style, what do you think, could it work?

great show

I'd watch it. Whether it worked or not would probably mostly depend on the personalities. Though you can say that and then think about the other similar shows that were on the air which flopped quickly, even though most of the same comedians were showcased.

Having Richard Simmons as a special guest would make it instantly funnier, too!

One of my all-time favourite shows.
The things those guys could come up with blew my mind.

I was just watching some clips on youtube yesterday.

Love the show. Ryan and Colin would have to be on any new version. I would actually prefer the same comics be on (except Wayne who I thought was painfully unfunny).

 

[Belamorte]

Fun show

All the episodes free.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Every time Colin and Ryan would have that banter as infomercial guys it would be an instant comedy classic.



"Hey Colin, how much would you pay for a 2-CD set like this?"

"Oh, I dunno, $39?"

"... Unfortunately it's $69.95..."

Great show, last year GSN showed a similar show where after Drew did his stand up in Vegas they would do a Whose Line type show, not sure if they are still doing new episodes, or if it's even on anymore?

It's not on anymore. It was horrible, not like Whose Line at all.

Amazing show. I'm sad that ABC Family replaced with the Fresh Prince (also a great show in its own right) in the 12-1am block.

 

[Unholy]

I miss this show.

I was watching something on Youtube and this was somehow related to it:

I enjoyed the re-vamped American version, but the original British version with Clive Anderson as the host was much, much better

 

[redwings85]

Such a good show, loved watching both versions.

 

[Whiplash27]

Best show ever, I used to love watching it. I think I'm going to have to go through every episode at some point.

 

[HisIceness]

Foreign film dub was great. The Canadian one was hilarious.

Also, loved this

 

[Frankie Spankie]

Never saw the British version although I always wanted to. Whose Line is an amazing TV show. I have all the episodes and will watch them completely at random. Still gets me in tears every time.

 

[Penguins23]

Great show! I gotta start watching old episodes again. The infomercials were always great as well as the green screen.

 

[BonMorrison]

By far, the best green screen in history.

The one with Richard Simmons is just too funny

By far, the best green screen in history.

I was laughing so hard at this one. My manager walks into my office and says "what are you cracking up about"
