No, it was pretty awful, in spite of having Summer Glau and Keith David in it.

[Benji]

No, it was dreadful.

The Supernatural episode that ripped off Chronicle was probably the worst episode I remember for the show. I still love the show, but the cracks have been showing for a long while.

[Hobo]

I've just started going through Archer, Season 4. The first episode has a tremendous premise.

I watched this last night and yes it does!

[MalaCloudy Black]

No, The Cape was great because of Keith David. Everything is great if it has Keith David.

He's not saying she's specifically responsible for any of them, just that the shows she's on tend to get canceled when she comes on. It's kind of a reoccurring thought with a few actors (Judy Greer is another).

Judy Greer of archer with four seasons? I don't think so.

That's not the only thing she's been in. :/

Basically any show she's been in with love in the title (Mad Love, Love Monkey, Love & Money...and well, Miss Guided) were canceled within one season.

Really enjoyed The Bridge. Hopefully it won't peter out like The Killing did in season 2.

I feel like they should have done a better job of establishing that Sonya has Asperger's, might end up being a turn off for viewers that can't catch on.

Agreed.

The way they played it, I felt like I was seeing something I wasn't supposed to be seeing.

Made me feel bad.

I think it is only ever implied in the Danish/Swedish version, as well. Maybe some of that is lost in the translation, though, but they seemed to refer to Saga as 'special'.

So, based on Wayne Brady's interview with TVLine and the pictures that come with it, apparently the guest stars on the new Whose Line Is It Anyways? aren't comedians but CW-afied actors.

[GoGo Yubari]

Ugh.

EDIT: Interview makes it sound like it's not exclusively like that, just that there are a lot of non-improv guests. Sad that there won't be any Chip Esten, though.

[livid]

Yep. I'm still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt (meaning I'll still check it out) because of the originals but it's definitely not encouraging. Though, we probably should've seen this coming with it being on The CW and all.

[TKz]

Are you guys saying you're not 100% confident in the abilities of the casts of shows such as Vampire Diaries and Arrow to be able to do improv comedy?

I for one can't wait for Stephen "Wooden McGee" Amell's episode.

[livid]

To be fair, I don't think he's doing it. I think he's too big now.

Also, it's not just CW actors because the actress of your "favorite" (think Season 4) Chuck character is gonna be apart of it too, Ticklez.

...Lauren Cohan. So we meet again, my old nemesis!

Oh. Boy.

[Ant]

Judging from the article though it doesn't sound like they stunk up the place with their performances or were inherently awful. I'm open minded about it.

[livid]

Do you really think Wayne Brady would be all "yeah, they were fucking awful man. Total shitfest but hey, you should still watch it!"?

[Ant]

No, not at all. But he did say they were a few performers that surprised him and were actually very good. Besides, in the original run did they not have Special Guests? I seem to remember Charlie Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg on an episode. Hell they had Hasselhoff on it for 2!

I'm just saying don't crap on it without even watching it first. We are seeing three of the most talented improv comedians ever pretty much on mainstream TV again, thats what you should be tuning in for and even if some guests are bad, no doubt they can make a good thing out of a bad situation.

[EddieG]

I don't remember Charlie Sheen, I remember Whoopi and Robin Williams, and erm.. that overhyped fitness dude.

But pretty much anybody that was not Colin, Ryan, Wayne, was a special guest, they just came back more often than normal guest stars on shows.
