This and QI have got to be the cheapest TV productions this side of Faux News, and yet we in the US can't manage to cobble together half a dozen celebs who can manage to be more extemporaneously interesting than hollywood squares. It makes me laugh, but the quality gap saddens me.

There's plenty of others, of varying quality (Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and at times Never Mind the Buzzcocks are good). I was wondering the other day why all the quiz-coms (that's what our schedulers seem to want us to call them) are British. It's a simple format, get a topic (current affairs, public opinion, music, whatever), a host who's good at improvised comedy and several similarly minded guests and make sure all of them have an IQ of above 50. 8 out of 10 cats fails occasionally on the last requirement (Kelly Osbourne, for example). I don't know if it's been tried in the US or elsewhere. I can imagine American producers getting Kevin Federline and Paris Hilton as guests and then wondering why it bombs.

You have got The Big Bang Theory, which makes up for a lot.

Whos line is it anyway started your side i think, and that influenced a lot re improv.

Yeah, it did. Matter of fact, I watched the brit version of who's line is it anyway long before it became popular and came to the states (which was later remade with Drew Carey as host).

The original with Clive Anderson was better in some ways. Especially with the "helping hands" bit they did quite a lot. My favorite pair were Josie lawrence and that other guy that had the slicked back black hair. They were frequently just-raunchy-enough to keep it hilarious. The other cast members were also just as brilliant.

Drew Carey's "Who's line?" is good too, but there's nothing like the original.

Drew Carey is bloody awful and I don't understand why as host he suddenly decides to perform. It's like someone from the audience started participating.

8 out of 10 cats can be a bit uneven and wouldn't be worth watching without Sean Lock. The quality of guest isn't great but they had some young guy (Jack Whiteall I think) a few weeks ago who told a brilliant joke about Robert Mugabe and his dad. Sift that and you'll have my thanks.
