According to ABCMediaNet, "Whose Line is it Anyway?" is making its return to ABC all summer long, starting on June 24th! It will air every Thursday at 8 & 8:30pm ET. It is unknown whether they will be showing the 22 unaired episodes, but that is what's expected. In the next week or two, I will be re-working the campaigns to focus on thanking ABC & asking them to make WLiiA an annual summer series, while "Drew Carey's Green Screen Show" will be airing it's first season on The WB this fall. Tickets to attend live tapings of that show are available now at TVTickets.com.

Quote:

A fan of "Whose Line?", who is also a member of the media, has gotten in touch with Lauren Tobin, WLiiA's publicist, and has posted on the WB message board again. When asked about the reasoning for bringing the show back to ABC's lineup, she said it was because the network executives couldn't ignore our continuous emails, letters, phone calls, etc. She was even bold enough to say that putting WLiiA back on the fall, midseason, or summer schedule for next year isn't out of the question if the ratings are decent and we keep showing our support. Like I said in the last update, the site will be revised with new campaigns, thanking ABC for WLiiA's return & presenting them with the possibility of making it an annual summer series over the next week or two.

Looks like fans actually made a difference, for once.

Good. I love that show!!!

Super Shy Guy · 06-14-2004, 08:18 PM

the British version is much better. Still a fun show nonetheless.

Valentine · 06-14-2004, 09:12 PM

Yea, damn British TV executives had no idea what they were cancelling.

Still, good to hear it's coming back. I wonder if it'll still have Colin and Ryan...

The Doctor · 06-15-2004, 05:32 AM

I kept forgetting what time it was on and missing it, very good show.

Tonberry2k · 06-15-2004, 01:33 PM

I think it will definately have the old people. (Ryan, Colin, Wayne, Drew) They've become central to the ratings.

**Dylan** · 06-15-2004, 01:33 PM

Yey.

Sim Kid · 06-15-2004, 09:08 PM

Yay!

**L007 is Undecided** · 06-15-2004, 09:48 PM

Rawr!

They should start remaking the Drew Carey Show, then! Muahaha!

Tonberry2k · 06-16-2004, 01:00 AM

Actually, the Drew Carey show just ended. It started to suck at the end. (When Kate left for Scrubs) I miss the good old, funny days.

Curtis Bonds · 06-16-2004, 01:06 AM

It hasn't ended yet. This is its last season.

Erdawn Il Deus · 06-16-2004, 02:28 PM

Please tell me Drew Carey isn't the host. Please.

Curtis Bonds · 06-16-2004, 02:49 PM

^The show was never officially cancelled, so I doubt he'll be going anywhere... unless he says that he wants to concentrate on that Green Screen show.

*Remembers the April Fools episode where the office turned into The Sims*

*Remembers the episode where they went into a Drug company to get Drew's dog back*

*Remembers the Easter episode where Oswald melted the chocolate bunnies and to deliver the melted chocolate-easter baskets they threw them out of the truck at the houses*

As do I. I miss the good ol' days too, that Easter Episode with the Chocolate Bunnies was almost as funny as the Chocolate Factory episode in I Love Lucy [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Yeah, the Drew Carey show was awesome until Kate left. Then it sucked.

And I think Drew makes a fine host of Who's Line...as long as he's not improving... He should stop trying to improv the last scene of every show...he just sucks at improv...-jay

Sim Kid · 06-16-2004, 10:03 PM

I didn't really like it when he improved, but it'd still be better if he didn't.

Curtis Bonds · 06-16-2004, 10:57 PM

I think you guys mean improvised. XP

(Improvs telling Curt to be quiet)

Curt, be quiet.
