I can't wait until this set comes out.

The episodes included are, for the most part, big time favorites of mine. However, I hope this isn't a cop out for the studio to release a "Best of" and be done with it instead of releasing the rest of the seasons. There are too many classic moments of this show which haven't been released yet and won't be in this set. Still, I will be buying this one. As a dedicated WLIIA fan, I can't pass it up.

This has been the funniest dvd my family & I have enjoyed ever. We laughed so much our faces hurt!
A great Saturday night entertainment for the 3 of us to enjoy and laugh at together.

Several great episodes of this hilarious show.

My only disappointment is that they seemed to select a number of episodes based on the fact that they had special guests. And while I'm not opposed to Richard Simmons or David Hasselhoff, when a famous guest gets involved it takes away from the simple genius that is improv and places the focus instead on the guest star.

I would be willing to pay more to buy each season in its entirety. But, any way you slice it, it's still hilarious!!!

The funniest video on the market today. When they say the best of they are not kidding. This is truly a classic. Each of the 10 episodes are certainly some of the funniest I've ever seen and left me in tears. If you need a good laugh this video will certainly tickle your funny bone and then some. AAA+++ for pure comedic insanity. It is uncensored so parental guidance is advised.

It's pretty disappointing that Warner Brothers has not decided to continue releasing "Whose Line" seasonally for the time being, a decision I (and many other fans I know) hope is temporary. That said, the casual fan looking for a quick ten episode fix or a selection of episodes to show friends who have never seen the show will get what they need from this set.

Many classic episodes abound, and while the focus seems to be on special guest stars (the two best of which are Richard Simmons and Florence Henderson), there are also several classic spots with just the "Whose Line" regulars, such as the infamous episode of Party Quirks where Ryan has a close encounter with a neon light or Colin's break dance video with Wayne in Greatest Hits. The inclusion of the hour-long "Best of" special is a nice little bonus, as it only aired twice, but it would have also been cool to see some more bloopers as featured in the first two volumes. There also seems to be a lack of season two episodes...perhaps that set is in the works? We can only hope.

In short, it's a worthy collection of episodes for a "Best of Whose Line" set, but the die-hard Whosers will still want to keep their fingers crossed for those seasonal releases.

I love the special guest stars that appear in this DVD. You never know what's going to happen. The outtakes are so funny you'll fall out of your chair! Be sure to catch the show with Richard Simmons! Absolutely wonderful! Again, mature audiences only.

This show is great. Drew Carey leads a cast in a game show improv type setting. Each performer must adlib to the task set. The different games are Weird newscaster, lets make a date, Hollywood director and more. You can tell they are all having fun which makes it even funnier. Wayne Brady, Colin Mockerie and Ryan Stiles are the regulars and have great chemistry together. Fun for the whole family

Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. The show is unparalleled in the amount of laughs it can deliver. Ryan, Colin, and the rest of the crew are fantastic comedians and can make you believe any and all of the crazy scenarios they are called upon to create. Definitely worth watching again, and again!!! If we could give 10 stars, we would!!!!

This improvised skit comedy show is the only show on television that routinely made me laugh out loud. By contrast sitcoms these days are just sad strings of extremely forced unfunny one-liners (hence the need to insert canned laughter). Very few stand-up comedians today garner more than a wry smile. Most other so-called "comedy" shows on TV are overly focused on testicular injury, as portrayed in "Idiocracy." That's why I'm so glad to finally see out on DVD some of these truly inspired spontaneous bits from these hugely gifted, clever and smart comedic performers. I laughed as hard and frequently as I did when the series first ran -- and I didn't have trouble sitting down afterward.
