Hey friends^^

Dismal Post for today, I don't if tomorrow will see an update, but for now this will do as a pseudo news and updates page.


So, how are you today? Still somewhat pissed with GSN, but I rather focus on CC or TBS picking up IAG.  Drew owns the show.  He can still promote the hell out of the show.  So, focus on that please.


Well, that will not take control over that today, Kathy has a new A-list Smack Down Stand up special on Bravo on Sept 20.  I assume it is a special, That also means it will be a "Kathy Griffin" day for Bravo, as all of her recent stand ups will be in a cute little marathon. 


Watching Worlds dumbest, Chelsea Peretti is my favorite because of her snarky style of comedy. Kinda like my way of comedy


I have some sparkly shoes but the way, It makes my little snarky heart swell when I wear them^^ 


Got my Adele CD, 21.  Love the songs on it^^


And follow my Twitter for some of my awesome tweetteries ^^ @Heather_Short17


See you later! Webagators!


Heather Short, The person inside your head right now.

News and Updates for today

Hey everyone, thought I might just give some news.


Qi starts on Sept. 9th, one of my favorite shows because I'm a smart Ass.  Also it includes Sandi Toksvig, whom is one of my favorites.  The episode is called "I Spy" and I shall watch it as soon as it hits YouTube.
This will be a fun episode right?  I wonder if the cast will wear something.  But then again it might sound a little like the "E" series episode espionage.  Wonder if they will reuse Allen's buzzer? 


Now that I got that out of the way...


For those who didn't follow twitter, all IAG fans have banded together against the wretched GSN.  I never heard of Baggage, Lingo, or any supposed more popular shows.  Yet they kick the wonderful GSN to the curb. This is bigger than any of those shows.  Drew Carey sure as hell doesn't need a network who lets down his fans, and I hope Comedy Central picks up this show. 
By the way?  Isn't GSN suffering from "Low ratings" themselves? Were they hoping that IAG will become the next Survivor?  No, this is a GAME SHOW NETWORK!!  Why watch that when there are Game shows on networks were I don't have to pay a cable company?


So all Twiiter people, join the wonderful ImprovAGanzaArmy, tend it.  You know with the little hashthings(#).  Let us prove to GSN that IAG is a lot better that the second rate stuff they renewed.


Isn't this sweet?  Yep GSN kicked this to the curb.




Okay, I think I made that point clear.  No other notable news, be sure to watch Worlds Dumbest on Thursday.  Because of what GSN did, other great comedy shows will be gone as well.  Then I shall have nothing to complain about.

From Your Friend, Heather Short!

Helping Hands- Why did they add props?

The HH were Ryan eats dirt, correctly portrays what HHs ended up as.
Helping hands is one of my favorite games, nothing says fun like getting a 42 year old man to eat dirt.


However, according to us state side folks, Helping hands was first played, without props in episode 3x01 with all four players.  However, the more common 3 player format was seen 2 episodes later.


It was cut out in the American broadcast, well I'll tell you this.  Because of the lack of props, the person doing the hands well have to resort to some, well you'll see.


After a great game of News Report, Clive introduces Helping Hands, Sandi looks ready.


Ignore Mike, he doesn't play in this game.  Jim and Paul does, and so does Sandi.  See, She is going to be the one doing Jim's hands.  For those who only watched the CC broadcast, this is new to you.


Paul gets into his Paul face.
As you can notice that Jim is standing by the step so that Sandi can  reach his midsection.
Paul's lovey expression never really changes, no matter what Sandi does.  This is one of my favorite pre-prop playings of Helping hands, well we go this one and a comb.


Sandi getting into character here...
As you can see, Sandi is ready to start some mischief.  Like I said, this will focus on her and Jim's reaction.  You can focus on Paul, but his bright, smiling face doesn't really change.

No props, but Paul slowly turns into one later.  
One thing that I love is the fact that Sandi's arms are so small, and she's wearing purple, to contrast what Jim is wearing.  Also add the fact that she is wearing nailpolish, and you can see why the included jackets to match. 
Jim plays along and allows Sandi to tug on his ear. 
The problem with this one is Sandi's size, Jim had to move around a lot just let her screw with him.  However, this gets to be really entertaining. 


Number one rule, head for the pockets.  Paul's face has yet to change.
A little tidbit, because of the cameras or Jim and Sandi's placement, you can sometimes see the expression on Sandi's face.  Rare in latter games because Josie, Ryan, Colin, Greg, and Tony are around the same height.  This can become somewhat fun if viewed multiple times.


Being a doctor, you must pretend to look healthy.
Now, random piece of info, this is the only time a women has provided the hands.  Josie has been the person whose hands are being provided, but she has never done the hands.  Both her and Sandi, as well as Kathy G. and Caroline (I can't remember if Denny played in this game) has been the normal third person.


Funny part here, she spends quite a while playing with Jim's pockets 
Now, don't worry I've got a link, I'll post it at the end.




Reason why it was cut of all American broadcasts.  You might see a blur...
Yes, that is right.  I'm more surprised that the audience never noticed this. I'm surprised Youtubers didn't noticed this.


Paul becomes a prop, with the same expression as before too
Sandi has um, the ability to make the guys take there clothes off.  Kind of amusing if you know anything about Sandi.


One of the few "mouth in finger" tricks that goes well.
Paul kind of tries to keep his head away from her hands.  Yum, nailpolish...
Although he failed, you can just see the amusement in her eyes.
My favorite picture.  You can just guess what Sandi is thinking.
Right now, the end is coming, you are thinking about Paul opening up his shirt, Sandi just having fun, and Jim trying to possibly fit all of this as a reasonable way a doctor should act.  Now, this game is about to go of the rails, into a ditch and get set on fire. Sandi's big o'smile made me laugh so hard, that is yet another hidden gem in this game.



Jim knows what's happening, and Paul is breaking into laughing, while in his Paul face
Sandi goes for the belt peoples!  Yes people that is the reason they added props and Sandi no longer does the hands.  If not Ryan would probably be on air completely naked.  What a close up on the damages?


This is the signal for Clive to just mash that buzzer.
Funny gem, Sandi holds her position, and you can here Clive telling her "Off, off, off!"

So as an experiment, how was that?  That is right, you are being used right now.  I will do this with IAG games, but those games are much longer than Helping Hands.  So for now, enjoy and comment and follow me on Twitter!

Sandi/ Jim approves this message!
See it all here!
Heather Short signing out!


Edit: Clive never buzzes them out, he just said to just "End it there".  Sorry about that.

Improv-A-Ganza: 2011's Party Show

If you don't like the title than *unfolds paper* "Man am I drunk..."
off of Cream Soda and sweet-tarts of course.


I'm going to say this, Improv-a-ganza is has one of the most loyal fanbases on GSN.  It is only natural that they invite the Drew Crew back on stage right?
Well, many old Whoser fans like myself never saw the need to expanded on cable, just to watch one show.  I have to agree in this time, no show is ever worth 95 dollars or so (Like I said, I have no clue how much it is...).  However, that is why we have the internet, even if GSN never though to put every episode on, I have to thank WTATA for that. This blog is forever in your debt.


To GSN, Lingo is a high rating show right?  I have never heard of such show, however, IAG was shoved in my face since Jan.  Not that I minded, I enjoyed the fact that Drew was doing an Improv show that fell more back on the Whose Line roots, more then Green Screen that is.  Not saying that it is a clone of Whose Line, I wouldn't like that.  


One thing I love is that the chemistry of the players.  They have all worked together before (Heather Anne Campbell was on the pilot), and they are a joy to watch.  Also, for those who skimped out on watching Green Screen, Jonathan and Sean are refreshing to watch.  Also the newcomer to the Drew Crew, Heather, surly made herself known to those of us stuck in the 90s watching Whose Line, all they way back to Ryan's first appearance.  Speaking of Whose Liners, They never fail to disappoint, as always. Last but least, player of beloved Mimi Bobeck-Carey, Kathy Kinney, rounded the beloved cast members by adding to scenes.


All I have to say this, No to Charlie Sheen.


I will never be all like "Renew this Show because I love it!" well, that is one reason.  However, this is a great show, and both Jeff and Heather (That I know of) have been agreeing with us.  GSN needs to tell us the fate of this beloved show.  As Jonathan said on Twitter "no decision has been made on Improv-a-ganza season 2."  Yep, even months after episode 40, GSN has even left the performers in the dark.  Now I don't have a TV channel, if I did, I wouldn't even have this blog, but I would tell the shows if they can expect a second season.  


This is a great show, and it will get a second season if GSN sees the massive fanbase that it has.  If you haven't signed the petition, you need to http://www.change.org/petitions/we-want-a-second-season-of-drew-careys-improv-a-ganza?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=share_petition, I have.


I told myself that if I have to do this, on a blog about COMEDY, then GSN has not done this job of even informing the cast.  It has gone far enough.  This petition has gotten to over 2000 people wanting to watch this  show once more.  Tell us, why would you want to cancel a show that has gained a reputation, only ruined by Cable.  That is right, I'm not blaming GSN, I'm blaming cable providers.

What is with Tall people?

Aw, the tiny girl from Oklahoma finally comes across a reason to use the title.
Sod off...


I'm here to tell you guys, that TV people, are Frickin Giants.
Remember Whose Line and they are pulling people from the audience? I think to myself,"Why do they always pick short people"  -_-


Ryan is very tall, around 6'6" or something, Wayne, Greg, and Chip are 6 feet, Colin is 6'2"(or Something) and Brad is 6'4", even Kathy and Denny are tall!  Kathy is 5'7" (Well to me she's tall) and Denny is 5'9".  


Caroline and Karen seems to advert this, being 5'4" and 5'5" respectively.  Josie is 5'10", or 5'9".  One of the two, seems like websites can't agree on how tall she is.  


Sandi is 4'11", the only performer who I am taller than.  Seems like almost everyone on this show are taller than average people, (To me that is 5'6").  In fact, a lot of people are tall.  Whose Line shows us that.  Heck, Tony was called short, he is 5'11"!  Sure when he shares the stage with 6'4"(or something) Mike, he tend to be dwarfed.  


It's not anyone's fault, people tend to look smaller on TV, unless you have one of those TVs that you have to take apart to fit in your living room that is.  They look even smaller if you tend to put them with people north of 6 feet.  I though Sandi was shorter than 4'11" just because of Mike.  


Yes I'm 5'2", same height as Halley Williams, I hope I spelled her name right, last thing I need is a bunch of Pissed of Paramore fans.  I was watching CMT's Artist of the Year, I didn't know that Taylor Swift was that tall.  Lady Antebellum (All three of them!) are known for there height, especially Charles, 6'4". 


I love my height, don't get me wrong, but calling my short is not nice.  Yes I know it's my last name, that is why I have a first name.  I'm not dissing anyone, I remembered the info used in this post of the top of my head so I have to be pretty good fans right?  I might want to say that.


Sandi is growing on me, her sharp wit on both Whose Line and QI.  Makes me want to live in the U.K.

Web Written

Well, as you all know, I'm a self proclaimed Internet Geek.  This is true that I spent over 5 hours a day on this very laptop when it is in my hands.  I feel that is a good average for people like me who has no extensible life and divides her time between Watching Whose Line clips from WTATA, and going on info binges.


Now You can do many things on the internet that deals with comedy.


You can put up screen-shots, or funny pictures.


Chip sure jumps into being a girl, even though Heather is better at it.
But that is why Deviantart is here.


I like to share my wealth of knowledge to all of you for just this moment, Remember whose liners? 
The first time Ryan was ever on Whose Line (and to a leaser extent Sandi).  He played his first game of  Freeze tag on whose line?


Now Fast forward to 2011, episode 11 of IAG, Freeze Tag.  Both Times he stared off the game by Saying: "I'm Sorry I ruined the party".  Also, Both John Seasons and Heather Anne Campbell were in the exact same position. (Heather's S. note- John was told to do just a Yoga pose, while Heather was told to do the Lotis pose.)


I think Ryan did that on Purpose.  He seams to love hamming it up for the Whole Line freaks.


Now you may all groan at the bad pun for the title. ;D

Kathy V.S. Denny. *Head Asplode*

Whose Line is it Anyway, the show has long since been canceled, but I still want a nickle every time I see Denny Siegel fans square off against Kathy Greenwood's.  It's fun to see on YouTube, on Whose Torrents, and other random chat rooms on whose better.  It is entertaining, and easy to make fun of both groups, but as a fan of BOTH of them, I'm not allowed to.


Denny, A well rounded performer who can make the fans laugh.
You see, I love everyone that has appeared on Whose Line.  Why?  They make me laugh.
That IS the reason the show existed?




Kathy had excellent chemistry and adds to jokes and gives us a middle ground. 
 Well, both women gives us moments that leaves us on the floor laughing. However, aside from that the two are pretty different.


For one, Denny has been in singing games.  You know, Hoedowns and Scene to rap, some people have said that she could go toe to toe with Wayne.  Kathy has a great voice, but her in Hoedowns have never been seen.  It is weird to me. 


Also the guessing games.  Denny is either very right, or so wrong that it is not even close. (Kooky Australian? Dating Woody Allen?)  She also makes Lets make a date seem like she would actually chose some one.
Kathy is either right, close, or wrong. I think that is the difference.  People say she is bad at guessing, and they are... well right.  However, she doesn't get as wrong as Denny's wrong answers, usually.  Well, anyone that can deal with Colin touching everyone's well... yes, should be given a middle ground.


However, as you know, they both have to deal with being on a show with all guys, sans the musicians. Denny is truly one of the guys, no fear with anything.  Kathy is not like that, but she tends to add to the guys.  The infamous Goat joke started in a song styles, as in a Wayne game.  She lets the guys lead, while Denny is one of the guys.


However, I speak great things of them, but neither of them are my favorite.
This Shirt is my favorite.  I'm in Love with Brad's Shirt

News and Updates 8/9/2011

Well, I'm Sorry.  I was supposed to do this about two days ago, but our WiFi gave me the metaphorical Middle finger and it failed.  A lot.

So To the blog, I'm doing a few things at once, so if I don't get anything posted by Thursday, then sadly it might not come until I'm finished with it.

Good news, access to Torrents now.  Thank you WTATA, I thank you guys and I love you guys for doing all of that and for letting me to do all of this.

However, all it means is that my screenies will not from Youtube.  Well, the Whose line/ Green Screen ( If I do)/ Improv a ganza ones anyways.

As a heads up, I want to do so many things for this thing, however I won't overwhelm the minds of my reads, who are probably just fellow Info-Bingers who have the attention span of an average house fly, like myself.

So Enjoy yourselves today, and tomorrow should have a new update :D
