Editorial Reviews
Volume 1 If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it just might be Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the hilarious series where gifted comics devise sketches, impersonations and songs based on suggestions, props and inspired goofiness from off-beat and off-the-wall host Drew Carey and an equally playful audience. Ever wonder what an excitable dog would do on a Let's Make a Date TV show? Or an astronaut with an alien inside him? And what would a newscast be like if the anchors were smart-aleck school kids showing off in class? Join Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady and other stars in one hilariously hot-wired situation after another from 2 delicious discs worth of the complete, first 10 episodes of Season One, plus Uncensored, Adult Versions of the Special Features. It's daring. It's delirious. It's comedy without a net. There is, however, a website: whoselineisitanywaydvd.com. Volume 2 Make it up. Make it quick. Make it funny. You'll find the makings of great comedy fun in this 2-disc set featuring Season One's final 10 episodes of the hilarious improvisational series. Drew Carey is host, court jester and provocateur of this collection of unrehearsed and unhinged situations in which talented series tars and guests create weird newscasters (here's a special report...underwater!), a rap song about an avalanche (coin' at ya - word!), a public-information film about camping (smother them flames!) and much more. Watch. Laugh. Pause. Repeat. Improv your mind with Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Great Show - But the First Season isn't as Good as the Later Seasons
December 2, 2007
By A. Courie
Drew Carey hosts the hilarious "Whose Line is it Anyway" (adapted from a British show of the same name). In this show, four actor/comedians (usually Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles, and a "wildcard") act out improvisational comedy skits.
These skits are hilarious! My wife and I will sometimes be in tears laughing at these incredibly skilled actors who can do amazing improvisational comedy. They also have a great rapport with each other, which is probably the key to the show.
That being said, the first season doesn't quite live up to the later seasons. Some of the skits ("games") were a bit lame and not that funny - it's as if the writers were still searching for the best ideas for the show. And don't get excited about the "Uncensored" label, because little if anything in this season was actually censored, so you won't see anything that you haven't already seen.
Still, it's a side-splittingly funny show with a fabulous cast and should be must-buy for anyone.

I got this for my son's 13th birthday. I was a little worried about it being "Uncensored" but it is the same as what they show on television. If you're okay with what they show on tv, the uncensored is going to be fine. Would have been nice if they could put the whole season on one DVD. Also, can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out.

I grew up watching this series, and the only part about it that disappointed me is that there were not more seasons available apart from season one. The best sketch is watching Ryan in "Party Quirks" be a "Foal being born". Excellent for anyone who wants a good belly laugh.

I am a middle school teacher and wanted to SHOW my kids what the best improvisation looked like. When I first started teaching I would give my students bonus points for taping 'Who's Line' so that our class could watch a couple of shows before we tried improv games for ourselves. Of course the tapes were in pretty BAD shape when I found the first season available on-line.
These shows are GREAT for my classroom as I olny have to fast forward through a few scenes, and of course no commercials! I totally understand what some of the reviewers mean about wanting the later episodes, but for educational purposes the first season is PERFECT!

A Kid's Review
I enjoyed the series. The videos were alright. The later shows were the best. I really enjoyed the extras. I was hoping to see the episodes uncut. I was hoping to see more of the bloopers, that I know had to happen on the show. I was also disappointed not to be able to see the episodes unedited. I know that some people cannot tolerate the strong language but that is what I was looking for. I am waiting for them to release some footage from later on in the series.

Bought this for my kids and they loved it so that's why I am giving this the top rating. What else can I say?

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. Very funny! He loves it! Too bad it still isn't on TV.
Whose Line is a great show and this collection, while overpriced, contains some really funny stuff. The "Uncensored" label is misleading though. Only the special features are really uncensored, and even with those, about 25% are things the censors were just being overly politically correct with. You could tell the talent wasn't very happy with the censors at times and I don't blame them. I think most of the "uncensored" stuff are things that would be aired normally on a channel like Comedy Central, but since the show was basically owned by Disney at the time, they considered very mild things as controversial.
Anyway, I highly recommend this to any fan of improv. I just wanted to clarify the "uncensored" label.

Another gift for son and daughter-in-law. They love comedy stuff a whole bunch. They were as excited about this one as they were about Gabriel Iglesias DVD.
