Episode Oddities: First Airing VS Rerun[]

  • This episode had many differences from its first airing to its reran versions -- The reruns had a portion of Drew's opening joke cut, A line at the end of Award Show was cut. Colin says, "God bless you Buddy Ebsen!" - Esben who had passed away shortly before. The City Slickers joke from Greatest Hits was cut; and The Drew Game was different.
    • In their first airings this episode had Quick Change, while US-334's first airing had Props as the Drew game. Their Drew Games were swapped in syndication.
      • Both Episodes are present on CWSeed and HBOMax -- However they have this episode's syndicated version while US-334 is the first version. Resulting in both episodes having Props

Reviews from The Archives[]

  • Dean's guide review from The Idiotsite:
    • Best Game: If You Know What I Mean makes this a raunchy show all by it'self, especially with Brad and Ryan trying to out-raunch each other towards the end.
    • Worst Game: Awards Show is a nice idea, but it doesn't work well here... it ends up too stereotypical.
    • Drew's Best Bit: "Hey kids, why aren't you in bed right now?" after the over-the-top If You Know What I Mean.
    • Brad's Best Bit: "Nothing better than a 200 pound... snatch, if you know what I mean" and then getting embarrassed for maybe the first time ever on Whose Line.
    • Wayne's Best Bit: Somehow successfully translating the popular "Crocodile Hunter" into another language while sounding authentic.
    • Colin's Best Bit: Running all over the stage trying to get away from Ryan as the last living news team member in Weird Newscasters.
    • Ryan's Best Bit: Trying very hard to hide his red face after Brad's last line in If You Know What I Mean.
    • Credits should have been read by: Brad is very, very funny in If You Know What I Mean and also in Quick Change, which he brought to the show in the first place. And he's a close second to Greg in funny names for his co-hosts in Weird Newscasters... here it's Baldy Flapscalp for Colin.
    • Should have stayed home and joined Wendy Richard in the car park: Outside of his crocodile hunter, Wayne stays in the background this time out.
    • Overall: A solid show with two excellent games.
