Well, I finally managed to get my hands on this mini-series (thanks, Netflix!) and I couldn't be more pleased.I had my concerns that this would be some crappy half-hearted plot with a bunch of cameos from Kids in the Hall characters no one had seen for 15 years. Sure, a couple characters make cameos and I did roll my eyes at them, but the show still had a very fresh feel to it.There's no point in me trying to dissect the series here, to be honest. If you're a KITH fan and you just found out this thing even existed (especially if you're in the States like me and it took you 4 years to stumble across it) then you need to watch this. The guys (especially McKinney) are in their old form. While there aren't a lot of laugh-out- loud moments, I sat through 4 episodes in a viewing without getting bored or feeling like the show was wearing thin.If you've never seen KITH, you should probably watch the original show first or this might put you off. Personally, I felt the guys aged well. It didn't feel like a bunch of tired old has-beens trying to make a come back. It felt like a group of friends and talented comedians doing their best to keep putting their work out there.Kudos to the guys and here's hoping they keep making more!

Death Comes to Town is a great mini-series that I hope is not the end of Kids in the Hall now. I hope this is a restart of the wonderful comedy these guys are really good at. They have just a slew of wonderful characters in this comedy as well as few guest appearances from old favorites.This is a must watch for any fan of the show. Scott Thompson, Dave Foley, Scott Thompson, Mark McKinney, and Bruce McCulloch are all back and a bit older. I am a little upset that the only way I can watch this right now is online.
... View MoreOh, my, how sad this show is.It's the ultimate indignity when ANY entertainer doesn't know when to call it a day, but this many? Neither the cast, nor their brand of humour, have aged well.Puffy, bewildered and lost; virtually every scene made me cringe in embarrassment for the once edgy Kids. They certainly can't be accused of vanity. To see a cut of this program and say to yourself, yep, this is good, let's show it to everyone; that takes balls.Horrible beyond imagining.Dave
... View MoreJust watched the first 2 episodes, this show is hilarious. Nice to see the original KITH characters all on board for this series. Unlike their previous work, the show revolves around a small Canadian town and its residents, instead of doing random sketches. Laugh-Out-Loud comedy ensues at every corner. There are hidden jokes as well as episode long running jokes and a complete story that kept me interested for the whole episode. The story takes place with "the devil" coming to the small town to run havoc on the simple town and its people. I just hope a US network picks this up so more people can see it. Right now its just on CBC.
