I love the show. Especially the British version. The American one is slowly growing on me, though I still hate the "Game with Drew" segment at the end.

The American version I don't really like all that much. On their own, all those regulars are funny, but they don't mesh well as a group.

 

The British version I absolutely love. I used to make it a point to catch it on Comedy Central in the afternoons.

Yeah, in Australia they show both te British and the American version, and its all good. The episode featuring Robin Williams was pretty funny.

I love the show too.

 

Has anyone actually tried doing improv? Me and a bunch of my friends do it from time to time, to mixed results.

speaking of Drew Carey, what do you think of the Improv live show of the Drew Carey Show, that is done once a year.

They were fun at first. I heard they weren't going to do them anymore.

 

Clive Anderson is a better host than Drew. I wish some of the people from the British version would show up on the American version. People like Michael McShane and Tony Slattery. I saw Josie Lawrence was on the U.S. version once. Have any others been on?

Well if i'm not mistaken Colin was on the UK version and he's a regular on the US version.

 

The UK version is superior to the US version, but the US version can be pretty good too on occasion.

 

The only thing i don't like about the UK version are the references to UK stuff which of course i don't "get".

I love the British version as well, mainly because I can't stand Drew Carey and the line up of comedians are way funnier.

 

Ryan and Colin rule.

Colin, Ryan, Chip Esten, Greg Proops, and Wayne Brady, among others, have appeared on the original show.

 

The British version was superior. Our Whose Line has a cast that's pretty much set now for every show - Colin, Ryan, Wayne, Other. No difference. The round-robin of the old show was better, even on days when you'd end up with a REAL bad draw.

 

Greg is criminally underused these days. And Chip needs a boot to the head.

I prefer the British version. Drew Carey cackles too much, and I find him really annoying. Clive Anderson, on the other hand, is much more understated and dry, as the host of a show like that should be. Once again, the British trump the Americans when it comes to humor.

Completely agreed here. Though Mike McShane is funnier than Wayne Brady, IMO. Something about being a total fatass just makes someone funnier to me.

Uh-oh. To clarify my earlier post: Never saw the British version -- only basing my decision on Drew. I've seen it 4/5 times, and each time I sat through with a straight face (much like I do whenever watching SNL for the past 10 years or so...)

i played some improv games in drama back in high school, and it's hard. i was always good at improvising off a script & taking it in some other direction, but starting from scratch is a craft that takes years to hone. they make it look easy, but they've been doing it for a long ass time.

I actually noticed a bit of joke recycling from the UK version to the US version.

Whose Line kicks ass. Colin, Ryan, Wayne, and Greg are my favorites, though a lot of the others have had their moments. Tony Slattery from the old version could be quite funny, same with good ol Mike McShane. Drew is definately worse than Clive, but I don't find the guy offensive or anything. It's still a very good show...better than most sitcoms out there IMO.

One of my favorite shows. I like both the UK and US versions. One time, though, I was watching a UK episode on Comedy Central, and neither Ryan or Colin were on it. I was thinking, "What the hell?" It just wasn't the same.

Some of the "Clive goes to Hollywood" eps are great, as they had some actors that wouldn't normally be on the Disneyfied version such as Phil LeMarr and Debra Wilson from MadTV.

 

Then there are the disappointments. Stephen Fry was quite the letdown, Stephen Corbert(sp?) from the Daily Show wasn't all that great. Drew just isn't cut out for improv. And of course, the less said about Whoopi, the better.

 

Let's hope that Joanie Laurer's appearance is just one of those "cameos" a la Miss America. Otherwise we're in for 30 minutes of painful comedy.

Too bad they're not releasing the British version.

 

I liked that version better than the US one for some reason.

It was funnier and less repetitive. And it had Josie Lawrence. And it DIDN'T have Drew Carey.

 

She's definitely the best female they've had on either versions, just unfortunate she couldn't do the American version as well. I have no idea why Kathy Greenwood was on so much, I would have rathered Denny Siegal and Karen Maruyama.

 

Clive Anderson > Drew Carey. It was hilarious any time Proops and he would just go back and forth.

I liked the American version but that was because I thought Colin, Wayne and Ryan were gold. Mostly everyone else was garbage, except when Josie showed up everyone now and then.

 

The british version was great.

 

I HATE Nick Cannon's Wild'n Out. It's a wannabe racist version of Who's Line. It needs to be taken off the air right now.

Plus it had Tony Slattery.

 

*Remembers when he told Clive to F**k off because of a bad round of Party Quirks.
