Houston, we have a problem

[simplysly]

I'm really not sure about this. For those who don't want to bother reading the article, it's describing a new television show on NBC called "Thank God You're Here." Normally, I wouldn't care. I don't watch a bunch of t.v. anyway, and most of what I do watch I do over the internets (which is amazing, by the way). However, "Thank God You're Here" is an IMPROVISATIONAL t.v. show in which various celebrities try to wing sketches. In other words, it's Whose Line? without Colin and Ryan. It's Whose Line? with an all crappy guest star cast.

I weep.

But Dave Foley is supposed to be on it... I like Dave Foley...

But is he really worth all the stars who think they can do improv? And then go on to fail horribly? There were definately times while watching Whose Line? that I was so very, very glad that Colin and/or Ryan was out there with the poor guest that had no real idea what was going on.

Thank God You're Here started in Australia. Blame us.

It's not as good as Whoseline, but it is kinda fun.

Maybe Ryan and Colin will turn up on it at some point?

I would, except that it seems that the US has a nasty habit of taking decent shows from other countries and "Americanizing" them into something utterly crappy.

It would be totally awesome if Ry&Col showed up though. Unfortunately, I think they'll go for people with limited improv experience, so that they will all be on sorta the same level.
