Watched the first episode. Have the second taped. Wayne Knight was pretty good. Bryan Cranston had a couple of moments. Jennifer Coolidge was terrible. The other guy was bad in his skit but had a good showing in the group sketch.

Best line in the show was when they did the customs skit, and they asked the last guy if he had anything to declare and he responded "Yeah Faith Hill is over rated"

The second episode wasn't as funny as the first one.

That has to be one of the most overused jokes in comedy.

I liked what I saw of both - really enjoyed Monique (?) and the woman who was Ed's secretary in Ferris Bueller.

Hope it catches on and they get to do a couple more shows!

This show is on in the US now? It has been on in Australia for quite a while. It can be funny at times but other times a bit dull. Still fun to watch though.

Australia has some neat quiz shows which would be fun to have in North America. Does anyone know why Canada doesn't have its own quiz shows?

I like the idea, but leave it to American T.V. to cheapen it. I'm sure the star actors don't know what they're getting into but everyone else definetly has a storyline to work with. If this were a little more improvised like who's line is it anyways was then it would be much better!

Canada used to. Remember Bumper Stumpers, Kid Street, Supermarket Sweep and The New Chain Reaction?

I guess "You bet your ass" on The Comedy Network qualifies as a Canadian quiz show...

I wouldn't consider any of those quiz shows, but rather game shows. It seems the only true general knowledge quiz shows currently in North America are Jeopardy! and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Australia on the other hand has four I can think of off the top of my head.

How can you list Canadian gameshows and not mention "Definition".
