Whose Line Is It Anyway? (1998–2007)
6/10
Lose Cary & Brady
6 April 2008
This show would of been a lot lot better if it didn't have Wayne Brady showing off at every opportunity. I don't mean this spitefully - but he actually 'blocks' the other players a lot. For example - if they are all playing the dating game and Brady is No.1, Mocherie No.2 and Styles No.3 - Brady does his usual over the top (and very loud) 'I love myself routine' and then when it is the turn of No.2 - he will inevitably encroach his 'talent' into their slot and steal the laugh. I genuinely thinks he is more self motivated than team motivated and it spoilt the series. Steve Frost did similar blocking in the UK version (often Steve Frost didn't listen to what his teammates were saying/doing instead he just blurted out things he thought were funny).

The other thing is the self appointed shows' host Drew Cary. Oddly enough he likes to leave his desk and take part in the improvisation near the end of every show - which he clearly has no talent for. When ever he is involved in something he giggles and drops his comic professionalism and comes out with the lamest lines. His humour seems to revolve around sex all the time and innuendo - which is fine occasionally but 'all the time' is just cheap. I really do not see any justification for this guy being in comedy at all to be honest I cannot remember the last time he did anything funny.

Ignoring these two people - the show was always worth a look in for Styles & Mocheries very funny professionalism...thanks to hard drive recorders you can easily skip the Brady and Cary stuff --- its just a shame they take up so much of the show.
