CW renews Whose Line
With the shows' success they have ordered 24 episodes for next year. From the news release:
Only two weeks into its revival, Whose Line Is It Anyway? not only has proven to be a hit for The CW, but it's also revived the broadcast network's hopes to program actual sitcoms and other comedy series on its dial.
The CW announced late Monday it had ordered a second season of Whose Line with Aisha Tyler as host, with 24 new half-hour episodes coming sometime next year (dates and times to follow -- this season's episodes air at 8 p.m. Tuesdays). And network chief Mark Pedowitz told the TV Critics Association today that the success of Whose Line "gave us a strategic place for comedy," all of which means he's now open to ordering pilots and series for sitcoms in the coming year.
