I watched the premiere of the new NBC show “Thank God You’re Here” on Monday night. The jury is still out on this one. I like improv, when done right. I was a huge fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway, as far back as when Clive Anderson was still the host. I enjoyed the first skit done on TGYH, with Wayne Knight as a “doctor” on a morning show. (”It’s an alternative TO medicine”? Classic. “It’s a supplement TO vitamins”…had me rolling.) I didn’t think much of the other sketches, or the group one at the end. I did enjoy the scenes with the security checkpoint at the airport.

I watched the 2nd episode that aired right after the first, and though Monique was great in her The Price Is Right ripoff - especially the big about the skinny model. And I liked the taxi driver bit, but the rest of the show was a bit flat. I think that some of the actors just simply aren’t improve people. It was neat to see sitcom stars doing a show like this, but I think it shows us why Whose Line Is It Anyway had a cast of regulars to carry the show.

I will saw that the first bit, with Wayne as the doctor, made me laugh harder than I have laughed at Saturday Night Live in YEARS. I’ll probably tune in again, but I’m not sure if this show will stay on my DVR schedule.

Oh - I loved seeing Dave Foley as host too. I am a BIG Kids In The Hall fan.
