WLIIA is formulaic, but it's worked since the 80's. Gave this series a six episode try and it's just not that good. The skits go on too long, and even though they share a lot of the same games, most fall flat. The hardest part is that this has the entire male cast of Whose Line involved, and somehow it just doesn't hold up. Ryan, Colin, Brad, Jeff, Jon, Greg, Wayne, Drew, they're all in it. Usually the stage is slammed with six performers. But somehow it just didn't mesh. It always feels like the show got cut short, or the previews fill up lack of time, and there seems to be some rough cuts. Almost like jump cuts. Not a whole lot of celebrity guests, unless you count Charlie Sheen right after his "WINNING" spiral post Two and a Half Men. (Remember, this was 2010-2011.) This also was the start of Drew's strange healthy transition. And it is strange. We all grew up watching the Drew Carey Show and especially early 2000's Whose Line where jovial, crew cut Drew made us smile and cringe simultaneously with his flat punchlines and occasional dead shot repartees. Here, he's like a new age hipster punching above his weight class. With a soul patch.
I'm glad things worked out and Whose Line came back with Aisha while Drew took over for Bob on Price Is Right. This was not the show to invest in. At the time of this writing CW is releasing the final season of Whose Line, but I'm sure something will come along in the same vein as this entity between projects. And I'm sure it will do better.
