What Parents Need to Know
This review of Whose Line Is It Anyway? was written by Emily Ashby
Parents need to know that sly sexual innuendos are the basis of much of the series' comedy. Feigned making out, references to sizes of male and female body parts, and simulated sexual positions are common. Much fun is poked at the actors, other celebrities, and sometimes even audience members, but it's all done in humorous good taste.

What’s the Story?
Drew Carey (The Drew Carey Show) hosts improv comedy hit WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?, directing a stellar cast of comedians including Wayne Brady (The Wayne Brady Show), Ryan Stiles (The Drew Carey Show), and Colin Mochrie. Carey leads the actors through an obstacle course of comedic games as audience members keep the actors guessing with their suggestions for subject matter. The show also features the musical talents of pianist Laura Hall and guitarist Linda Taylor. The two shine as brightly as the actors in musical games like "Duet," which features two comedians who must make up lyrics as they sing together about a randomly assigned topic.
Is It Any Good?
There's no end to the fun of this show, but given the relatively high percentage of suggestive, innuendo-based jokes (although many are tame by a lot of primetime-sitcom standards), parents will probably want to preview before allowing young teens to watch.

Wonderfully hilarious.
Who's Line is one of the most hilarious things I have ever watched. :D I was watching it at age 11, and didn't think it was too inappropriate, but I didn't get some of the jokes (it was probably better that I didn't). Definitely better if you're 14 or up. :)
