And we're back! Last Season on Whose Line After a long hiatus, Whose Line is it Anyway was rebooted on the CW last summer for a 12 episode season. Since the original version's cancellation, the crew has tried and tried again to recapture the magic of Whose Line, but now, it's pretty much back. With some exceptions. The new Whose Line is filmed in the same studio, the set is basically identical, and Colin, Ryan and Wayne are back and in every episode. But we do have a new host, Aisha Tyler, who you might recognize as the voice of Lana on Archer. It's hard to complain too much about new episodes of Whose Line, but last season did have some issues. In last summer's thread, we got a lot of complaints about Aisha and her role on the show - that she doesn't quite blend in with the cast like Drew did, that the show is missing something without him, etc. Personally, I think she just needs some more time to grow on us, but it's hard to deny that something is missing without Drew. There were two major problems with last season from my perspective. The first was repetition - so many of the same games were played over and over and over again, to the point that a lot of the humor wore thin. Sideways Scene started as a great new game where the performers act out a skit while lying down. And then it was played every single episode, with basically the same kind of jokes every time. Helping Hands is a really funny, classic game, but again, it was played in well over half of the episodes. With a show so rich with different games, it was hard to see why they couldn't vary some of these episodes up. Another big problem that a lot of us complained about in the last thread was the use of special guest stars. In addition to the rotating fourth chair, almost every episode last season featured a guest star. It was kind of fun at first, but it got the point where it really interrupted the flow of the show, didn't allow the fourth chair guest any time to shine, and again, generally the same sort of humor was done with the guest every time. Usually they would always play Helping Hands with Ryan and a game of dubbing. Let's hope that this was mostly an issue of The CW wanting to bring in more viewers for Season 1, and that this problem will cool down this season. That said, from the looks of it, BOTH of tonight's episodes feature both a fourth chair and a guest star. So maybe not. Season 2 (10)! But gently caress all this negativity, Whose Line is back! Season 2 premieres tonight at 8:00 est on The CW , and this time we're on for a full 24 episodes! Tonight we have two back to back episodes, the first featuring Kat Graham from The Vampire Diaries and, more importantly, Greg Proops! The second features Olympic figure skater Tara Lipinksi and fourth chair Keegan-Michael Key.

So far, pretty great first episode. The chemistry is MUCH better between Aisha and the guys this time around.

I'm still not a fan of the guests, I know they cross promote CW shows etc but I think most of the time the show ends up weaker for it.

Oh man, didn't realize this was back until it showed up on my Tivo! Agree about having fewer guest stars, but Kat Graham in the first episode did a drat good job. If more guest stars were as into the games and as willing to go along with the shenanigans as she was, I wouldn't mind them so much. Overall, incredibly strong first episode. Great guest star, infomercials was amazing, and SFAH / Party Quirks! Very solid second episode too. KMK's Cosby was very impressive. Aisha's chemistry with the case was really strong. And SFAH may have been the creepiest I've ever seen Wayne. "Schpling-dong!"

I feel like the CW definitely listened to some of the complaints from last year. More in-between banter is shown, and we've already seen a couple games we never got to see from last season. And Greg Proops!

Tonight's episode started off with a bang. I was red in the face at literally every impression of the suitors.

I'm still honestly laughing over schlliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.............................. Donnnnnng. I've got a ton of gifs from Season 1, need to get started on 2, but most aren't under 2 megs for imgur, so this is all you get for now. Tell me if you want these removed from this post.

I don't think there was a single part of that episode that I didn't enjoy. Ryan playing a newborn baby trying to find the perfect breast to suck on and then later a fish being reeled in was hilarious  Sound Effects was great too. The sight of Verne Troyer will never not horrify me though

Verne was super into it, that was dope. Aisha seems to be gelling with the gang better this season too, so far.

Well this just snuck right up on me. Enjoying it so far, feels just like it should now with Greg Proops as the fourth. Just keep these five in permanently, bring in your random CW actors as needed, and there we are.

I had no idea the show was back! Everyone is in great form, but Wayne's singing never ceases to amaze - even if the guest usually just stands there. "I know you got the gold but tonight you get the bronze"

This was my favorite bit. These first few episodes of this season are way more on par with the classics, and it was so refreshing having Greg Proops back on there.

So I'm kind of confused as to why Ryan was absent from that episode but considering how well it went over I don't really mind. The sniping between Greg and everyone else was pretty great. Also Darren Criss only appeared for one game!

I love when they start taking cheap shots at each other. Ryan probably had to take some special time away from the show to a special fitting for some shoes.

drat, that's the first episode Ryan's missed in like 16 seasons of the show, counting all versions of Whose Line. Based on why he never participated in the Sideways game last season, I just hope his back is okay.

There were a many episodes where Ryan absolutely HATED Irish Drinking Song and Hoedown, which he would just sit down and do nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySdHEezFvXk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13wEuXLk958

Aisha just had Ryan on her podcast. Haven't listened to it yet. She also had Wayne on in 2012 and that was a good interview. EDIT: Oh and Colin was apparently the latest exclusive episode. Megazver fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Tonight was a definite classic. The return of Irish drinking song (with great ended by Colin as usual), and that Film/TV/theater styles was killer as well. If these were filmed chronologically, I see why Ryan was out last week, he still seemed a bit sick, but was funny as hell all the same.

Just watched tonight's episode. Ryan's line equating turtles mating to Ed Asner and Betty White loving was hilarious  All of Scenes From A Hat was great too. Greg Proops is the best dressed on this show. "Jugs, jugs and jugs. You a pottery fan, sir?" Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Apr 12, 2014 |

This season is really great so far. Better than the last in just about every way already. My favorite moment has to be Keegan stealing Wayne's Cosby-impression before he could do it and Wayne being visibly upset.

Thanks for this, had nearly forgotten it. It is hard to believe that this show has been on in one form or another since 1988, and it started on radio.

Wait, so Ryan doesn't miss a show in all of Whose Line's history but this month he misses 2?! When this episode started and Aisha said Ryan couldn't be here, I thought it was a rerun from a few weeks ago, but I checked Wiki and nope, new episode with Ryan not in it.
