    I'm so glad Sean told us how scary San Andreas is because now I don't have to watch it and get scared myself.

    Welcome Witty Llama. And thank you for showing restraint and not just doing another celebrity smash-up name (i.e. Emma Stone Cold Steve Austin) although if you wanted to do a smash-up of YOUR user name may I suggest Kendrick Llamar or Secret Life of Walter Witty?

    I had just listened to the episode they did for the premiere of CBB TV (with Tim Heidecker, Andy Daly and Reggie Watts) and the Scott-Reggie dynamic was pretty much the exact same as it was here. Reggie is always emotionally detached and unprepared, and Scott's always jabbing him about it.

    I don't know a lot about improv outside the UCB, because if I'm being perfectly honest I4H was my first exposure to the long-form improv world. It's literally changed my life; my whole perspective on comedy and what I want to do has been changed because of this show.

    So, obviously I'm going to get defensive about anyone slamming UCB. First off, like Matt said, even just within Improv4Humans there's so much variety and variation. Adam McKay, for example, brings a completely different dynamic to the show when he's on (he's Second City, right?). In fact his hilariously-descriptive scene transitions had an obvious impact on the way Matt transitions scenes thereafter. The Canadian improv group Matt had on the show had a really different sensibility than the LA comedians he typically has on, but it was still improv. Any episode with Neil Campbell or Paul Rust has a different vibe...saying it's all the same is ignorant.

    I guess to me, even with my very limited knowledge of the form, coming out and bashing another school--especially another highly influential, respected school--seems antithetical to the very idea of improv. Improv is all about playing together. I'm sure different schools have different approaches and techniques, but at the end of the day you're still playing the same game. The fact that he said "I don't get it"...that's so old-fogey. You're honestly trying to attract new students to your school by acting like an old dude who "doesn't get" the hippest comedy scene in town? Boo.

    I tried the first ep of Reality Show Show after I'd caught up on my HH binge and needed a fix, but I know nothing about reality TV and had a hard time following it. But the comments above are my own personal "ehhh, wrong" clarion call to give it another shot.

    There's a point in the show where they're clearly sick of the premise and it basically just becomes hollywood handbook. Check out episode 6 to start with. Lotta good talk about baked poh-tay-duhs

    Wow, see the table read was what I thought was awful about the episode. I enjoyed Hayes and Sean during the interview portion, and I think that was still a lot of their shtick rather than general CBB randomness, but it completely devolved in that table read. It felt like a situation that could come up on a normal CBB episode and be done very well but to me it was completely forgettable, the 2 extra players gave me nothing memorable. Would have been very into it if I stopped listening when that started

    More like Sham Sit-not-so-well if you ask me
