Half the reason I watch TGYH is to see who sucks. The struggling, the freezing....it's great tv.

Yeah that was not so good. But Tom Arnold isn't a great choice for this anyway. I'm not that down on him as a performer in general, but I don't think improv is really his thing. They do have some people lined up (like whatshername, the tall blonde with the short hair from all the Christopher Guest movies who played the mole on Arrested Development) who are probably quite good at it.

My main complaints with the production end are that I thought it went on a little too long, and we didn't really need the Dave Foley reaction shots.

That was quite poor. The Aussie version is great, and also one of the most watched Australian programs each week(but as anyone who has seen Australian programs would know, that's not saying much)

Wow, that was pretty bad. Unfortunate really, the original aussie version is pretty damn good.
Like most improv shows it tends to have low-points, but on the whole its excellent. Look around on youtube, I'm sure there're other clips. Segments which star Frank Woodley tend to be particularly good.
Try the real thing - its much better than this remake.

This show sucks.

So, this is supposedly an adaptation of an Australian show? No matter, this looks just plain awful and I guarantee you that in a few months (if that long) you'll be saying "Thank God It's Cancelled". Anyone remember the travesty that was Drew Carrey's Green Screen Show? Man, that was just as awful.

Improve can be either really, really funny or really, really bad. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. I'll probably check out this show, but I am not expecting much.

It was that and the questions. If you've done any type of improv you know that asking questions is bad form because you relying on the answerer to provide somthing funny. If that doesn't happen then the scene rapidly goes down from that point. Having said that, Tom did seem to get a bit better as the scene went on.

You know it's bad improv when you say "Yes" as your only response to things for the first two minutes. That was painful, even Whose Line isn't that bad.

wow, that was painful. I couldn't even watch more than a minute.

I hope this is not indicative of the whole thing since I feel the concept has potential.
