I love this show! I prefer the UK version, but I'll sometimes watch the US show. It bugs me! Anyway, I love WL!!! I could possibly be the Whose Line Geek on Beat the Geeks. My favourite performers are Tony Slattery, Josie Lawrence, and Paul Merton. Is anyone else a fan of this great show?

I used to love it, but they don't show it over here too much any more. And if they do it's usually way past my bedtime! graemlins/sleep1.gif I think they stopped making it in the UK a few years back.

It's not on here anymore either. graemlins/cry4.gif Fortunately, I salvaged enough taped episodes to hold me over until they put it back on (hopefully!)

I don't know, I prefer the American version. The comedians seem to have a lot more fun in the US than in the UK. I like Drew Carey as the host better than stiff Clive Anderson, and I appreciate the addition of the extremely talented Wayne Brady.

However, I do think they ought to bring over more of the British comedians for appearances, especially Tony Slattery. That guy's hilarious and I'd love to see more of him!!!

My boyfriend and I are fans of the American show. We even got to see Colin Mochrie and His Canadian All-Stars in person in April. They were part of an improv show held in Chicago.

I love both shows!!! Tony Slattery was hilarious...and sex crazed! I loved him! Ryan and Colin are my two favorites now, coming up with stuff like that off the top of their heads is just so amusing...I love it. I saw Drew Carey's Improv Special on HBO and I about died laughing from it...improv is really funny.

I love this show and have tried to get tickets to go see it live, but it's so hot, it's kind of hard to get them. Like you though, I like the British version better. Only because Drew tends to annoy me to no end. My favorite regular performer is Colin Mocherie. He's such a natural. graemlins/laugh4.gif

I love both incarnations of the show, though in some ways the Amewrican show comes off as slightly scripted and it's just about doing the songs to show off Wayne Brady, the impersonation to show off Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochery. It's still hilarious but it's beginning to come off as fake.

Dude, I love this show! I watch it all the time! I prefer the American version to the British version, because I can hardly understand the host. He has to talk real slow, I'm from the south.

Colin and Ryan are my favorite, but don't get me wrong, I like Wayne too.

So, what's everyone's favorite game on Whose Line? Mine is Hoedown, Irish Drinking Song, Questionable Impressions, etc

This has got to be the only TV show that I watched regularly. They were showing reruns every week night up until Thanksgiving. Colin and Ryan are my favorites by far! Greg Proops drives me up the wall, though...as do most of the female guests. I've never seen the British version, but I remember seeing some where Tony and a British women were guests. Anyone know if ABC is planning on releasing the seasons?

My favorite game they play is "Sound Effects", when they pick audience members to do it. Usually these people do so badly, it's hysterical! Get me up there, I'd do it right. Well....maybe. graemlins/wink3.gif
"Movie Dubs" is another favorite of mine.

This show is great. Its pretty difficult to do improv comedy and i'm glad these guys are talented enough to always keep me laughing.

This show is such a panic! I love it! I prefer the US version with Drew Carey. I think he is one of the funniest people in creation and Wayne is a genius! They are masters at thinking on their feet and their song genres are the height of brilliant comedy. :thumbu2:

I love this show too, especially the US version! It's so hysterical! It's definitely one of my all-time favorite shows! :teeth1:

No, I think it's been at least 5 years since they filmed any new ones. :sad3:

I laugh until I'm wiping tears of laughter out of my eyes. This show is such a panic! I love it and I think Wayne is an ultra-talent! Colin and Ryan have me laughing so hard my rib cage hurts. It is truly comic genius and one of my all time favorite shows!

This show is so awesome!! Wayne is hilarious, but I can't stand those commercial breaks. I hate the suspense!! It definitely is hard to keep an audience entertained for an hour. This show takes the prize for accomplishing nothing but laughter and fun times.

I love this show!!! its so effing funny. I watch it almost every day on fiveUS or Dave. I love Ryan and Colin, they work soooo well together.
I remember once they were doing the props game and they had a black spikey piece of rubber and one of them put it on thier head and said something about the Beatles. I think it was something like: i am the 5th Beatle. I cant remember now :'(
