THE GREATEST HITS OF TV’S TOP
IMPROV COMEDY SHOW ARRIVE UNCENSORED ON DVD
AS WARNER HOME VIDEO RELEASES
THE BEST OF WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? ON JUNE 9, 2009!

The 5-Time Emmy®- Nominated Comedy Comes Out With A 2-Disc
Collection of Its Funniest Episodes

Burbank, CA (March 11, 2009) – Host Drew Carey and his ever-changing cast of comedians and guests hits stores with a bang as Warner Home Video (WHV) prepares to release The Best of Whose Line is it Anyway? on DVD June 9, 2009 for $24.98 SRP. This completely uncensored 2-disc collection features ten of the most outrageous, laugh-out-loud episodes from Seasons 2-6, including a rarely seen one-hour bonus episode. Guest stars include Jerry Springer, David Hasselhoff, Richard Simmons, Florence Henderson, and more!

Whose Line is it Anyway? is the only show of its kind to cross zany improvisational comedy with a game show. During its 8 seasons on ABC, the show was watched by an average of 6.5 million viewers every week. With host Drew Carey and his rotating cast of renowned comics (Kathy Griffin, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Jeff Davis, Charles Esten, Kathryn Greenwood, Greg Proops, and Brad Sherwood), you never know whether they’ll end up being a fish on a TV dating show, singing a doo-wop tune about a girl and a tragic taxidermy accident, or re-imaging Adam and Eve’s first conversation. And now, for the first time ever, you can watch the greatest episodes of this television phenomenon without any censor bars or bleeps, so you can enjoy every bit of the delicious and daring funny business in all its glory. Uncensored means that the potential for laughter is unlimited!

“Whose Line is it Anyway? truly changed the landscape of comedy television,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV & Special Interest Marketing. “This must-have “best of” collection brings together the most hilarious moments and the funniest special guests in the history of the show. Fans of the series and anyone who enjoys great comedy will be excited to add The Best of Whose Line Anyway? to their DVD collections.”

In addition to the 10 best episodes from Seasons 2-6, The Best of Whose Line is it Anyway? contains a bonus Whose Line Is It Anyway? hour-long special episode – this clip show aired only twice, and contains highlights from the 1999-2000 season, as well as previously censored sketches and bloopers.

Re: WHV Press Release: The Best of Whose Line is It Anyway?

Not happy about this. It took forever to get both halves of the first season. Then it takes forever for the next release and it turns out to be a dreaded "best of" comp. HELLO! How about just putting out Volume One of the 2nd season ?

Re: WHV Press Release: The Best of Whose Line is It Anyway?

My guess is because sales of Season 1 may not have been very strong, so the Best Of is a test case to see if there is still life for Whose Line?.

Speaking for myself, I could never find Vol. 2 of Season 1 in stores and it just wasn't a priority among other releases, but I might spring for the Best Of. I've seen a lot of the eps on ABC Family and would love to have some of them. Honestly, the surprise is the 100th Episode not among the 10. Funny stuff.

So much TV...

So little money!

Ah, another botched DVD release from Warner. No surprise here. Oh well, I guess they don't want my money.

Re: WHV Press Release: The Best of Whose Line is It Anyway?

Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't release season one as a single complete set to start with, rather than in volumes, since season one was only 22 shows. That probably put off a lot of potential buyers right from the start.
