Will the points matter this time? Because I meticulously keep score on each episode and I want some kinda payoff.

I was just thinking this week that it might be a good time for a Whose Line comeback.

Guess the CW agrees!

Glad that Ryan, Colin, and Wayne are returning. I hope that 4th slot includes Greg Proops and Brad Sherwood.

It won’t be the same without Drew Carey, though.

I always thought Drew was the weakest part of the show.

Really? Clive Anderson is the one I think of, though I think the show will be fine with a new host. I hope the new host does not insist on doing a sketch each show.

Evidently everything’s made up and the Drews don’t matter.

I was a _Drew’s Line_ freak! Hated that ABC Family pulled the reruns. SO looking forward to this!

He was, but that was part of his charm. He absolutely sucked at the Irish Drinking Song, among others 😃

This show only works with Clive Anderson, Tony Slattery, and Josie Lawrence.

I’ve watched much of both the UK and US versions of Whose Line, and enjoyed both.

I bet Aisha Tyler is good on the show. She has a lot of experience with stand-up, comedy, and hosting in a talk show format (The Soup, The Talk).
