Green Screen Show (2004–2005)
8/10
Unique, but shaky
17 October 2004
Being a huge fan of Whose Line is it Anyway (both the British and American versions), I kept counting down the days until Drew Carey's Green Screen show had its debut. When it finally was showed, I was a little disappointed with the comedy - there were many boring parts. However, the technical aspects were amazing! I absolutely loved the animation. It really looked good, especially the 3D graphics in "Zeppelin".

Something I didn't like was the way they laid out the commercial time. There would be one game, then a commercial, then a game, then a commercial and so on. The total time of the pilot episode turned out to be 20 minutes (as compared to other 30 minute shows which run around 23 minutes).

I was hoping that the second episode would show some other games that worked, but it only showed the same games, some working and some not working.

The third episode will air next Thursday, and I am going to try my best to enjoy it fully. I think that after the first season, if the show gets picked up again, they are going to have to work out the kinks. Hey - even "Whose Line" had it's bad points, and I am hoping that the Green Screen Show will fix its problems and get better.

As of now, the show is okay, but it has the potential to be so much better.
