Rating: - Great
One of the best series, in one of the best times.
At the beginning, especially in the Pilot, it is a bit shakey, but even then the comedy is still there.
John Sessions, Jose Lawrence, Paul Merton and Tony Slattery are the core of these series, and they are there at their best.
Clive Anderson, after a shakey start, moves the show along slickly but not without humour himself.
Rating: - Not The Complete Season
I was so excited to find the British series and wholly disappointed when I discovered that "The Complete Seasons 1 & 2" were not at all complete. They only show a montage of scenes from Season 2 on the last disk of the set. If you're someone who likes to get their moneys worth, don't buy this product.
Rating: - Good to see the original
For those who are fans of the American version, this may not really interest you. For those who are addicted to the British version, this is really worth investing in. While there are certainly some less-than-stellar moments, it is wonderful to see the show in it's most raw form and see it progress across the first season and into the second. This collection also features many games that were later scrapped like "Authors" which are exceedingly funny and far more intelligent than later episodes.
For the price, you can't miss. Also -- the packaging is marvelous and compact as opposed to a bundle of standard clunky large DVD cases. I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out so I can add them to my collection!
Rating: - Don't be fooled!
This collection cannot compare with the American version! The last nine or ten episodes are pretty good, as are the compilations/out-takes, but overall there is simply no comparison. Yes, there are brilliant and talented performers, and some funny moments, but it is simply not as side-splitting funny as the American version.
Rating: - Clearly the beginning stage....
Almost all great shows take a few seasons to really get rolling, and Whose Line is no exception. The British Version of the show is by far superior to the American Version, but you really can't tell from the first two seasons. I'm not sure how the sales for this set have been, but I hope that A&E will release the later seasons of the British Version, which leave the first two seasons in the dust.
Some good moments, but the show clearly isn't in its prime with this set.
