Fast and Loose - Improv TV show

[Naffa]

This started a few weeks ago, and I was just wondering what people thought of it.

I watched the first episode and thought it was absolutely awful until the last part, which had choking with laughter. Last week was better, mainly due to the addition of Wayne Brady from Whose Line is it Anyway?, but but it still wasn't great. This week again, was very average in my opinion, and I wish Hugh wouldn't always say the same thing at the beginning of every episode, it's supposed to be improvised humour after all.

I was so excited about this show, as I love Whose Line is it Anyway? SO much, but it has just been an epic fail so far. Rubbish games, rubbish suggestions, and perhaps most importantly; rubbish improvisers (in most cases).

What do you think?

I haven't seen it, but if Mock The Week's improvised section is anything to go by it'll be dire.

WLIIA was only made decent by Stiles and Mochrie. That show would have failed if it weren't for them.

 

[Naffa]

The show was better before they were on it imo. It started to get stale when Ryan and Colin were on every week.

They need to take the character suggestions from WLIIA. Make them as random and bizzare as possible for at least one person, e.g. man slowly turning into a chicken.

I think it's hilarious

It's rather obvious it's another show produced by Dan Patterson though

just watched Ep3 on the iplayer, thought it was hilarious! Shame Ep1 and 2 are not on there, as I didnt catch them!

Just watched the lot off the skybox. It's not bad at all, but it's not great.

However, for me there was one shining moment each week - David Armand doing the interprative dance. The Beeb have been lovely and stuck them all on youtube too, but with the titles showing so you can't mute them and play along.

I could watch him do that for an entire show.

 

[Squark]

That was the best part of the program IMO, his actions were superb

Felt a bit like Who's Line is it Anyway, but got somewhat repetitive near the end. It's got potential...

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Like the interperative dance bit the dude doing it's a legend!

It's essentially what it is - just not quite as good.

Drew Carey *the host of WLIIA in the US* has a new show coming out soon called Improv-A-Ganza! - and it sounds exactly like it's Whose Line... Some of the people in it will be recognisable. Including Ryan Styles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops... I hope it gets shown over here.
