    I had no idea it ran through 1998, and had absolutely no clue there had been an American version.

    Anderson, Stiles, Proops, and Mochrie should get their own Rushmore.

    edit: apparently, two American versions. Were they any good? They had Mochrie so maybe they were, though I can't imagine not having the others. Imagine Drew Carey involved makes me "hurrh" a bit.

    You entirely missed the Drew Carey version?

    I loved that one. Some people weren’t fans of it because of Drew but I never felt he was too out of place. Especially since Stiles hammered on Drew almost every show it became a great running joke.

    The Aisha Tyler one didn’t have quite the same chemistry in the couple episodes I saw, but I did see some of the first episodes. I’m assuming it got better because it lasted ten years and others said that Aisha was better than Drew.

      Literally never heard about it. What was it on?

      TBH, unless a show is advertised on Adult Swim or TCM or during a Mets game, I am never going to know it exists.

      • ABC...it was when Drew had his sitcom (with Ryan Styles) so he basically owned the network.

        I loved the original UK version but Styles and Mochrie really crushed on ABC and that was where Wayne Brady became a thing.

            I've seen Williams do that stuff and he is amazing. You can see him going through forty ideas in his head in 4 seconds and picking the one that is (1) the hardest and (2) the most unexpected. The dude was brilliant at his art and very, very, very self-aware.

              Part of my skepticism is I viscerally hate Drew Carey. The only comedian I have ever seen compared to whom Jay Leno is funny.

              The only time I ever saw Wayne Brady was on Chapelle and I don't know if he was good or just the writers.

              • I don’t think I’ve seen any actual Drew Carey stand up, but his sitcom was great. That’s a show that will never end up streaming due to licensing hell. I think the only place to find it these days are one of those standard def sub channels via antenna.

                He’s completely mailed it in on Price is Right, though.

                    Yeah it used to be on TBS for years but something went wrong with the rights which sucks! The live episodes where they did improv games and viewer contests randomly were way ahead of their time!

                          Try to find The Starlost, a 70s British SF about an ark ship. I remember watching it when I was about 13 and getting drawn into it.

                          Edit: Canadian, not British. Huh, TIL. Found it.

                          • Episode 3 of The Last of Us has been review bombed. Bet you can't guess why.

                            The unequivocal quality of the episode has not stopped trolls from going after it on IMDB, where 30,468 people have given it 1 star reviews, creating a familiar “review bomb split” where a hugely disproportionate number of 1 stars, 28.4% of reviews in this case. By contrast, the first two episodes had 1.4% and 1.6% 1 star reviews instead.
