I missed out on this show since i was born in the United States and it was on HBO or the CBC but Great Brittian, Canada and the United States to some extent can come up with unbelievably hillarious shows. Like kids in the Hall thier are short, quirky and bizzare and unlike other sketch shows like SNL it would take a sketch 10 minutes to complete this show was shoert and straight to the point.
I missed out on this show since i was born in the United States and it was on HBO or the CBC but Great Brittian, Canada and the United States to some extent can come up with unbelievably hillarious shows.
"Death comes to Town" isn't the same, but I just about laid an egg when I saw the chicken lady make a cameo on the witness stand. Its good to see that its the whole troupe thats back and not just 3 or 4 of them with the others being sticks in the mud.
Also Brit shows like The Young Ones and New Statesman (Rik Mayall in general). Most people like Monty Python but I've got mixed feelings about it. Eddie Izzard, of course, is funny. Yep. Brits and Canadians.
I remember on sick days when I was in school I'd watch SNL (early 90s episodes) and Kids in the Hall in the afternoons. Now the only reason I watch Comedy Central is for The Daily Show and the Colbert Report, and I can watch most of that online anyway.
Love the show but the theme music always seemed kinda macabre and sad to me for a comedy show.I guess it just suited the kinda show it was;bizarre,unusual and original in itself.Toronto seemed like an anti-showbiz place which lent its vibe to it like northern exposures theme music.
Kids in the hall was kind of like Mad Tv, In Living Color, Monty Python and Saturday Night Live Candianian style but it also raised the bar to what sketch comedy could do and proved the sky is the limit like what Chapelles Show and The Whitest Kids U Know are doing right now taking even further.
Love Kids In The Hall. My new band, The Twang Tens, have new material in part inspired by Shadowy Men -- a group that although they never wanted the label, helped forge the instrumental Surf music revival in the early 90s, which is now an international underground music phenomenon.
One of my favourites belong side Monty Python.

Did they borrow SCTV's laugh track guy? The laffs were oddly placed in the opening dialogue.

I miss Kids in The Hall. Up until a few years ago you could catch reruns on Comedy Central but they have since done away with it.

Easily. I would have loved to have been there when they filmed the show live. The band would always play it live before each recording.

@VorpalTheRabbit Harcore. The song just so perfectly fits the rebellious, "this is funny and we we don't care what you think" attitude of the show.
Never was there a more badass-cool comedy troupe.

True, Bill Murray IS hilarious but he's not Canadian...Phil Hartman, on the other hand, is both hilarious and Canadian!

True,but the song "Having An Average Weekend" isn't the usual coked up yuppie excitement of SNL's theme or MadTV
VanBurenBoi 3 years ago 2
Yeah, it always seemed like a sad song to me. Most of their music isn't like that, but this and 5 American 6 Canadian stand out to me.
It always brings back good high school memories.
