Whose line is it Anyway?!

 

 

This midseason variety show debuted on ABC on Wednesday, August 5th, 1998 to great ratings. The show aired five more episodes between then and September 9th, then dissapeared from the screen for three months while ABC tested 'The Secret Live's of Men' in the timeslot. It failed, and now Whose line is back!
