I’ve seen so many comments saying “This better not turn into some woke crap.” The show made fun of both sides, but while Judge was working on it it was about a conservative middle age Texan learning how to broaden his views in a changing world. There’s an entire episode devoted to Dale’s dad coming out and the climax is revealing 15 years earlier he would’ve rather been caught making out with Nancy rather than a male waiter. There’s John Redcorn fighting for land owed to his tribe. It covers women's equality, immigration, etc.
It’s like when people complained the new Twilight Zone was too woke. Did they watch the original? What do they think the message of I Am The Night - Color Me Black, Monsters are Due on Maple Street, or The Shelter was about? It wasn’t all aliens and Earth All Along!!! tropes. And even when it was there was still some messaging in there.

Same as when conservatives say "back in my day..." to wail about divorce or crime or whine about LGBT or women or non-whites not knowing their place. The really think that things they didn't know about because they were sheltered kids did not actually exist. They are confusing ontology with epistemology. And then they try to replicate their childhood ignorance by banning books and threatening teachers with prison. Let's burn down the observatory so this will never happen again.
It's the flip side of liberals thinking they are more sexually kinky or broad-minded or hip or aware than their parents at their age. Twas ever thus.

Apparently yesterday was the final taping for Whose Line. I had no idea that it was still going. Loved the ABC version and caught a couple episodes of the CW edition, but that’s just not a channel that was in my regular rotation so I never kept up. Surprised it went a full ten years on its second run.

Waiting for the Snow to fly...
Yet another instance of something being around for 20-25 years and me thinking that it premiered like 10 years ago, ha ha ha...

35 years. Whose Line debuted in September 1988.
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. Imagining 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.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
The one with Robin Williams is hysterical.

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!
