Format
The style and format resembled Dan Patterson's other productions, Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Mock the Week. Each episode featured six performers plus an additional guest for one sketch. Games included Forward/Rewind, where the host calls out directions for a scenario; Interpretive dance, in which a player mimes a song while muffled participants guess it; Double Speak Game, where pairs talk in unison or alternate words as experts and interviewers; and Sideways Scene, where players act lying on the floor while the camera creates an upright illusion. Sideways Scene later appeared in the 2013 CW revival of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
