Kids are back in the hall...

Cult Canadian comedy troupe The Kids In The Hall are returning to TV.
The five-strong sketch team, whose original series ran North America in the late Eighties and early Nineties, are to make eight new episodes for Canadian broadcaster CBC next year.
And the show, tentatively titled Death Comes to Town, has been inspired by The League of Gentlemen.
Star Dave Foley said: ‘It'll be an eight-episode arc with a narrative running through it. We will play all the characters but it won't be sketch, it'll be a single narrative mini-series.
‘Probably the closest thing to it will probably be something like The League of Gentlemen, which I think was brilliant. So I hope it will be close to that.’
The team, who have previously been compared to Monty Python, have been off the air since 1994; although they reunited this year for a live comeback tour following the success of an appearance at Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival.
The Kids are also considering a movie, despite the slating their 1996 film Brain Candy received.
‘We're still talking about doing a feature as well, but first we have to wait 'til everyone who ever saw Brain Candy is dead,’ Foley added.

I love KITH. Besides the "crushing your head" bit the first time I saw anything by them was when I saw them on tour. Thanks.

I thought Brain Candy was alright.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Loved the Kith show, not a fan of movie.

Worked with two Kathy's around the time first started watching show (think it was on HBO in US?)...a Kathy with a K and Cathy with a C...they hated me for starting that at work...flatheads.
