DVD: 'Whose Line Is It Anyway? Season 1 Volume 1' (TV)

Back in 1998 a show came on to the air and it was call Whose Line is it Anyway?. Hosted by Drew Carey, with the regular cast members: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrine, and Wayne Brady also owith the other guest who switch off the spots on every episode, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood, Denny Siegel, Kathy Kinney and Karen Maruyama. With also the great music by Laura Hall.

Whose Line started during the middle of the the Drew Carey Shows, which in my opinion is a great show that ended in 2004. Whose Line is it Anyway?, has a great set of some of the best improv comedians alive today, when Drew Carey started off a a comedian, he did the Late show with Johnny Carson. Ryan Stiles come to this show also from the Drew Carey Show, he plays Drew's Friend Lewis Kiniski, Ryan. Colin Machrine and also Ryan Stiles have also stared in the UK version of Whose Line is it Anyway. Wayne Brady who I think many know from his hilarious skit on the Chappelle Show, came in to comedy as a stand up comedian and preformed at the SAC Comedy Club in Florida, before he joined the cast of Whose Line is it Anyway.

While Whose Line is it Anyway? is not on T.V anymore. Though I know the cast switched with the exception of Drew Carey, Colin Machrine, and Wayne Brady. The rest of the original Cast goes around the country and preform The Whose Line is it Anyway? tour. A couple of months ago I was lucky to get tickets to go see it, but Due to a mix up we where forced to sit in the very back of the theater complex but we got our money back. The show though was still true to the T.V Show and it was hilarious.

Overall if you've seen the show then you know that this show can make anyone laugh. Also Whose Line is it Anyway? was the most requested TV show to be put on DVD so this will most likely be a very big seller, with most places who are selling the DVD. With some of the greatest comedic and great scenarios and skits such as The Whose Line is it Anyway? most popular skit the Hoe-Down which is always a great toe tapper, and my person favorites "Greatest Hits". I very glad that this show came on DVD this is a defiantly a buy, its a must for any Library.

DVD

Whose Line is it Anyway? is presented in Standard Version that is presented in a format preserving the aspect ratio of its original television exhibition. The DVD is also presented in Dolby Digital English Surround Sound, with Spanish and French Subtitles on the Episodes only. Its in color and is 110 minutes long.

Warning: Special Features of this DVD contains mature themes and vulgar and sexually explicit language that may not be suitable for viewing by children under 17. Viewer and parental discretion are strongly advised.

The Special Features are Hilariously adult and out-there bonuses are:
  • Never before seen Out-takes (aka Deleted Scenes)
  • Gag Reels.

The DVD Special Features sections really don't look that amazing but , as like the old saying goes: 'Don't judge a book by it cover." The extras really that that to heart. The extras on the DVD has some of the Skits that were never seen except if you've been in the studio when they were shooting the scene. On the Gag Reel I was laughing the whole time on both Gag Reels both one and two. I think theses where a great set of extras which just add greatness to the DVD overall the extras just add even more reason why you should get the DVD.
