This is my favorite show. I love the new and old versions, and my favorite parts are the hoedowns, the Irish drinking songs, and anything musical. I also love the props game, the six o'clock news, and the commercial games.
Drew Carey is his usual half-comedian, half-straight man self, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie are hilarious, and Wayne Brady is brilliant. I think Brady is the best improviser on the show. I've never once seen him draw a blank, and everything he thinks of never fails to make me laugh out loud. I especially like the game where Stiles and Mochrie make up songs for him to sing (usually bizarre and impossible) and he pulls it off perfectly.
It didn't surprise me to read that Stiles and Mochrie have known each other for twenty years. They have great chemistry on the show, and even for an improvised show that's important, because they're usually cast together. Like Wayne Brady, I've never seen Colin Mochrie draw a blank, although sometimes you get the feeling Stiles is trying to screw him (by thinking of something really crazy) and he has to pause for half a second. I like the episode where he has to act like a gerbil. Ryan Stiles is priceless, and even though I saw him draw a blank once (during a hoedown, but Drew Carey thought of something really fast and sang it behind him), he usually makes me laugh, too. Especially the episode that he did this hoedown: I'm so ugly, I'll never get a lover/When I go outside all the dogs run for cover/I'm wide and I'm round and my back is all hairy/Yes! You guessed it--my name is Drew Carey! But my favorite episode is the one where Ryan and Colin were cast as Noah and his wife, and they had to kiss.
Despite some mature jokes, this show is great for the whole family. My rating for it is 11/10 and ******/*****.
