Previous thread (since I don't have the Gmail, nor do I have the old messages in my email) - https://groups.google.com/g/tvornottv/c/wXWA0iM0od4/m/S9EZ2fGiBgAJ I've watched the first two episodes of the U.S. edition of "Would I Lie to You?" via the CW's online streaming - which will still mess up a browser on occasion. The TL;DR of it is if you like the British version, this could make a fair substitute whenever you've caught up on all the British episodes. If you're not familiar with the British version and like to watch people try to BS each other with low-stakes stories, this is a good way to spend 30 minutes (with commercials). Again, only two episodes have aired, so things could easily change. My basic thoughts: I think both Adam and Carlton's observations about the UK version (and the Australian one in Carlton's case) made earlier bear out. There was only one non-comedian in the two episodes so far (a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of NY - Preet Bharara) and he ended up not participating as much as I'd have liked. The shorter time (20 minutes without commercials) can make the stories seem rushed. They do four an episode.
I wouldn't be surprised to see an episode cobbled together from the stories that were cut from episodes (bits of which are shown over the credits). The one guest who seemed to grasp the concept and run with it the best was Richard Kind. If the show decides to have some regulars, I wouldn't be surprised to see him come back.
