Let me start by saying that I loved the Original show, the one with Drew Carey as the host. I have never laughed so hard at a show than I have to anything else and have watched each episode way more than once because the jokes just don't get old. I was one of the few people who was wishing Whose line to return somehow to TV once more, and it almost came as a dream come true when I heard news of a premiere episode coming up.
However, this show just did not feel right. Maybe, the show is just starting out, but there is a lack of chemistry between the casts. I could see Ryan, Collin, and Wayne not making jokes as they did in the original show almost as if they felt uncomfortable that the joke might be inappropriate. And there wasn't much of talk going back and forth between the casts and the host, Aisha Tyler. She felt more like an NPC just back there laughing and how the points just do not matter.
In an episode of the original series, there is Drew Carey and Greg Proops where they get into a fight where Drew said "And you will be dating Greg Proops, I don't know why that would ever happen in real life.", he replies "Yes Drew, but what's the point?" and later on he says "Hey f**k you, Drew." You could see how comfortable they were and this got dragged out to be much funnier than it had to be because the casts were the ones who made it work. After their hug, Greg says "I had Drew's ass, and now I want more" From what I saw, I don't think neither, Ryan, Wayne, Collin or any of the guests will be comfortable enough to say "F**k you Aisha" for the sake of a joke. Hell, the special guests just felt like a piece of meat. (This is another problem) Candice Accola didn't do anything for god's sake. She came, danced with Wayne, and then became a prop. If she wasn't going to say a single joke why was she even there? Yes, to advertise another TV show.
The show also feels like a huge advertising scheme. These guests they keep bringing don't contribute anything to the comedy side of the show but to advertise other TV series like the Vampire Diaries, Glee, and Walking Dead. Wayne in one of the episodes said: "I will be watching Vampire Diaries every day from now on." Really?
Just please don't ruin my favorite show.
Edit: Watched a couple of more new episodes that aired today, where Kyle Richards and US swimming (Mary & Mariya) were their star guests. The cast seemed much more comfortable with each other (kudos there), but Kyle Richards was pure cringe. It is too early for any videos to pop up, but later on, search for "Kyle Richards helping hand" and watch her stand still for three full minutes. Just get rid of this feature where you force new guests every episode, and I think we got our good quality show back.
