A great twist on an old concept

I really liked the Green Screen Show. It was kind of shaky at first but as the shows went on and the performers (and animators) got in the groove it became really enjoyable. The lack of Ryan Styles would have been a big black eye were it not for newcomer Jeff B. Davis. That guy is hilarious. No offense to her, but Kathy Kinney is the only performer I don't like. She seems to have been thrown in there as a favor from Drew to get some work. She doesn't seem to have any real improv skills. The show does take away the raw imagination of the Whose Line is it Anyway's style but the overt goofiness of the props drawn in make up for it. With a little more polish this could become a great show....if it ever makes it back to TV.
