The new version of whose line lives up to the original, even if it doesn't quite surpass it. I like Aisha Tyler as the host. She's much funnier than Drew was in my opinion. Drew never really seemed confident in some of his delivery but she's always confident. Don't get me wrong though, Drew was always fun.
The comedy is not quite as timeless as the original but it is still quite hysterical. It's more raunchy then the first series but I've never minded that. The presence of some of the older cast like Colin, Wayne, Greg and Ryan is fantastic. They have not skipped a beat. I also love some of the new talent. Keegan Michael Key, Johnathan Mangum and Gary Anthony Williams are so wonderfully funny and have proved that they belong on this show. The guest stars can be a bit hit and miss but every now and then you get a guest who gets the premise and does very well with it. Some new games are nice but it's at its best when they play older games like hoedown, scenes from a hat and props. No subject is off limits and I think that helps keep the show fresh. Again, it's not as great as the original, but dang it, it comes close.
The new Whose Line is a much watch for fans of wacky comedy who aren't afraid to hear some raunchy stuff. Fantastic improvers, fun games, and an immortal concept help this show stand on its own. The points might not matter, but this show does.
