Back when the show was on ABC it was the best show on television. There were a few of the rotating cast members I found generally unfunny, but overall it was still incredible. The CW version is just a pale imitation. There is the fact that the dynamic between Aisha Tyler and the cast is not the same as it was with Drew (Carey and Stiles were both producers, Aisha does not share that with Carey), but the most insufferable issue is the non-stop use of "guest stars" with no improv ability.

I just don't see the "need" for having a celebrity guest every episode. The guys are funny on their own they really don't need a celebrity guest. I'd prefer more of these guest to be comedians. They'd add something to the show. The sexual harrasment of the female guest is going too far. It looks like they've started pulling back on that, but it needs to end all together. It's uncomfortable to watch. Love Aisha. Would love to see more diversity in the rotating seat

Whenever a "celebrity" guest is on, they only play the same small handful of games (living scenery, duet, helping hands, etc.) There's a much wider variety of games on the episodes without celebrity guests. It also seems like their purpose is to promote the rest of the CW's uninteresting lineup. Aisha can be funny, but she's way better in "Archer." If not for the original US cast, who are all still hilarious as ever, it wouldn't be worth watching at all.
