I didn't see anything on idiotsite, nor did I see a release on ABC's media site.

But I DID see WLiiA on the schedule in the "Future Airdates" section, and it appears to be on every Thursday through Sept. 23.

Heck, there might even be a week or two in there with Green Screen on Wednesday and WLiiA on Thursday!

YESSSSSSSS!!!! I was worried the show had been cancelled- it wasn't on ABC at all during the spring 2004 schedule, so I'm extremely happy that it hasn't been dropped. Is Whose Line still being done in L.A.? Because if it is, I'll definitely go to a WL session in the spring semester. :D

They've had a whole bunch of unaired episodes in the can for more than a year.

That's what we're going to be seeing. There won't be any new tapings. After this three-month stint, it'll be relegated to ABC Family in reruns.

WLIIA? was one of my favourite shows (both the British and American versions). It'll be nice to see some more episodes of them, just so long as I can remember when they're on.

Even if you cant attend a taping of WL?, there's still Green Screen which is begining production.

I've never heard of this GREEN SCREEN show until just now. I'm assuming it's a show in the WLIIA style, focusing on their "green screen" game where they send a reporter out into the field (it usually ended up being Colin, if I recall) and he has to guess his surroundings. That was always one of my favourites, personally. Now, how to alter it enough to centre a whole series around it is yet to be seen. Sounds intriguing, though. :)

I think it was one of the latter games on the UK version, along with Let's Make a Date and Weird Newscasters.

AFAIK, "Green Screen" will include many more games than just Green Screen. It's just that they're all going to be played in front of a green screen then, afterwards, appropriate animation will be added behind the performers. That will make it more like a skit instead of an improv game reliant solely on the dialogue and the performers' actions.

Just imagine a game of "Film, TV and Theater Styles" or "Party Quirks" with something in the background.
