Moving People: Ryan is a store detective who spots Colin putting something in his coat pocket. I love the ending of Kyle and Christina hastily shoving Ryan and Colin towards the other side of the stage, after each other. Overall: We end S8 with another patented Season 8 mixed bag.
One game bombed, that being Number of Words. Worst Performer: Denny sadly foreshadowed her S2 self here. Best Game: Sound Effects was a triumph. Very funny. Worst Game: Number of Words.
Just…not good at all. Should This Have Aired in S1? This is the natural extension of S10 of the Clive run, and I mean that as a compliment. Worst Episode: E One gigantic shrug from the editors, in lieu of material from a more worthy taping. A lot of fun improv moments hiding in here, and a lot of underrated games. Least Necessary Inclusion: E Literally only Quick Change was worthy of air. Everything else was completely unnecessary. Best Regular: Colin Mochrie, for having 8 show wins and dominating another season.
Best Fourth Seater: Greg Proops, for coming off insanely well in his shows, and notching 3 show wins along the way. Well…that was the Drew Carey era of Whose Line. It was big, bad, hysterical, and worthy of a several-years-long fandom. However, I cannot do that. In doing this watchdown, part of my job is to tell the story of how this show evolved, how it accumulated personnel, and how it became what it is now. And I cannot do that without going into the short-lived projects that happened between the end of the ABC era and the beginning of the CW era.
Oh no. It goes on for a bit. This show utilized different regulars, new pairings, and a brief emphasis on longer form improv that just teases what could have been. This show has become improv folklore to Whose Line fans, directly influences the CW era, and I am really excited to get to cover it. Weird Newscasters: Denny anchors, Colin, Awkward teenager on his first date with the anchor, co-anchors, Wayne, Richard Simmons, does sports while Ryan, Attached to the anchor by a strong rubber band, does weather.
Ryan wipes his brow in relief. A really good Weird Newscasters. Denny did a good job corralling all these personalities, and I love the ending with Ryan and Colin converging on her. Her personality is right up there with the other 3. James Brown is another impression Wayne can do in his sleep, and he has the energy and pomp to him, as this is one of the first times he does it on the show. Shelley obviously loves it. A really damn good number from Wayne. A lot of good lyrics, a great impression, and some more energy and mastery from Wayne.
Very clever. Colin bowls without looking and dances around, confidently. A really strong Greatest Hits. Somehow they got out of there without breaking Wayne, and all the songs and setups were really good. Once Colin finishes, He takes a moment. Drew is still recovering. More pain for Drew. Drew: [smiles]. I know I was prepped for chaos this season, and while there has been some, this is another really good one that belonged in Season 1. Wayne, however, dominated the most games he was in, so I had to give it to him.
Worst Performer: Denny, who was good tonight but not edited well. Best Game: Greatest Hits. Worst Game: Dead Bodies was silly more than all else, even if it was still alright. Should it Have Aired in S1? And for some reason, this S1 taping gets a third episode!
Okay so once again, the audience drowns out Denny. As Ryan poses, for a good 7 seconds, Denny is absolutely silent. Honestly one of the better games of this. A lot of funny things they figured out how to make sexy, and a lot of good moments from all 4.
For gangster movie style, Ryan beats Colin over the head with something, and Ryan just prolongs the sound of the bang by like 5 extra seconds, which is a very goofy move. Ryan ends the Slasher style by jumping in the shower, but when Drew changes to surfer film, he gets Colin to come in with him and surf in the shower, which is a fun move. An alright SFX. Again, most of the big moments were pretty broad, but they had fun with it, especially at the end.
As Wayne starts his verse, Ryan enters. Oh, look…a little cat. A surprisingly really nice playing of this, with a cohesive plot and funny jokes coming from all 4. Colin and Ryan enter by axing down the door, which is a hysterical contrast to the calm scene Denny just established. Then, as Ryan realizes Wayne still has something in his mouth, he gets him on the ground and gives him mouth to mouth, spitting out pieces.
This is so damn good. An insanely good OJNJ. Wayne was also great at playing up his discomfort. I love the detail that as Colin explains that the cookies are laced with truth serum, Ryan just throws them away one by one. I had already fallen for that three times today. I wish this one had aired in S1. Worst Performer: I had to really separate all 4, because all 4 were great, but Denny sadly lands here again for taking more backseat roles tonight.
Worst Game: Hats came and went. Should This Have Aired in S8? A lot of games tonight had more emphasis on improv skills than on broad comedic things, and audiences could have used that. The last season of the Drew Carey era of Whose Line, and the season where the demand for new material officially outdoes the supply. The majority of this season is made up of material from Season 1 tapings, compiled due to the WB people working on the official Season 1 DVD releases in , as well as a few stragglers from S Are these the best choices for new content?
Not exactly. But the mandate coming down was that we needed more Whose Line, and the easiest stuff to work on was the stuff directly in front of these editors. My opinion on Denny has soured after her S2 material, but I always liked her stuff in Season 1.
Here should be no exception, I hope. Peggy indicated to Don that after the interview that she didn't even believe that he was They had no intention of hiring him, expressed to Roger after an inquiry about when he would start. Peggy confronted Don the following week, telling him that something had to be done to make this right. Don brought Danny back into the office and tried to pay him for the idea, though Danny would take nothing short of a full time position. Much to Peggy's surprise, Don introduced Danny as a new copywriter for the company.
Joey jokingly remarks that "although I am paid less, I am still not a janitor" before shrugging and walking off, leaving Danny and Stan to clean up the mess. Later in the day both Stan and Danny take off before Don or Peggy can keep them late in the office and miss the Ali vs.
