Stupid Guest Tricks

Somebody just mentioned the unseen Whose Line is it Anyway? episodes
so I checked and sure enough (stolen from http://www.colinmochrie.com) :D

June 24 2004 (start date - continuing to at least Sept. 16th)
What?: Whose Line Episodes
Where?: ABC @ 8 pm & 8:30 pm, Thursday nights
Details: According to the ABC Medianet website program schedule,
Whose Line will be airing over the summer on the main ABC channel. It
looks like they will be using the show as a summer filler and to use up the
unaired/unseen episodes that they've had sitting around since the show
stopped taping. http://www.abcmedianet.com/progcal/index.html

There's supposedly at least 20 episodes to be seen! Happily, this Friday
sees the start of taping of Drew's new improv show for the WB. I shall be
there! ;-o

Oh joy! :D

Whose Line is one of my favorite tv shows and I was bummed when ABC
canceled it. Whose Line is yet another good show that has been
overlooked and grossly undermarketed.

I was fortunate in 2001 to attend a Whose Line taping and it was a lot of
fun. I loved seeing Colin Mocherie and Ryan Stiles working together.

I wonder how the new Drew improv show will be. Does anyone know
when it will start airing?

Friday was the first tape date for Drew Carey's Green Screen Show. The
marathon taping went from 7 until 1115. The cast included Kathy Kinney,
Jeff Davis, Chip Esten, Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie. Ryan Stiles will
not appear in this new show. Unlike Whose Line which featured a more
rapid-style improv in addition to musical games, this new show features
long-form improv sketches and no musical games. The games included
Storyteller, Questions, Movie Trailer, New Choice, Montage, Sound Effects
and Sentences. They showed a little clip of how the animation will look
based on the pilot they filmed several weeks ago. The animation will
certainly bring another dimension to the comedy. The comedic high-point
of the night was the game Montage which featured the location of Isla
Marada. I'm sure they will use this, because they took it into a very funny
exercise in verbal play-on words. Brad was especially good during the
taping, as was Greg. I certainly missed the chemistry between Ryan and
Colin though. Oh, Drew is back to his bleached hair look and they let
Colin go gray. Someone asked how Drew felt about ABC and he said they
had treated him very well - but look at him now, he's on The WB!! He
made an interesting observation that not a single ABC show is on DVD...

Anyway, earlier in the day the significant other and I went to Uni to
experience the Mummy. The posted wait time was 90 minutes, although
the final wait time was closer to 2 hours. The queue on the side of the
building is hell!!!! although once the line started moving it never really
stops. The interior queue is kinda neat, but that video is something else. I
can't get "Imhotep! Imhotep!" out of my head. What's worse, it's spoken
by a woman who looks she was cast as Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars!
The load area is quite large, but as noted, you can see the final scene.
The inital scenes are well done but it will take several rides to fully take
everything in. The coaster section is fun and the switch to the backward
section is absolutely seamless. If you don't know about the backward
section, it will definetely come as a surprise. The turntable room is kinda
tacky and I'm not sure people will realize that the CO2 is supposed to be
fire. Regardless, it's a fun ride, but more rides will be needed to see how
it really stacks up. So in my opinion Tower of Terror is the hands-down
winner in the theme park attraction war this year with Mummy a distant
second and JTA third.

Be sure to look for my review after the first of July. BTW what did this
have to do with Drew Carrey's new show?

Nothing... I was just too lazy to start a new thread. I like to think of it as
an Easter Egg review. Haha.
