As a special
Sketch Comedy Saturday treat, I will forgo the lengthy, typed-out, text version of me humming the
Kids In The Hall theme song and get right down to business. This is one of those shows that are now considered classic sketch comedy (and Canadian comedy), so I feel silly for even having to profile them, but I am constantly surprised by the number of people whose eyes glaze over when I ask them if they've ever heard of the Kids. So ... Have you heard of the Kids?

There is no better way to get inside a character's head (without resorting to charging up some power cutting tools and laying down some newspaper) than writing in a dream sequence.
Some of them, however, try to explain too much or cover too much ground and end up becoming the kind of dreams that keeps our Paxil dosage high and GlaxoSmithKline's stock price higher.
These are those mindfreaks.

The news that
The Kids in the Hall are working on a
new Canadian TV miniseries should make comedy nerds everywhere happy. I know I'm excited, even though it might be a while until it airs in the U.S. (I'm kicking myself for not moving to Canada like I said I would after the 2004 presidential election.)
Mr. Dave Foley told the Canadian Press that all the original Kids (Foley, Bruce McCullough, Mark McKinney, Scott Thompson and Kevin McDonald) are writing an eight-ep miniseries for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the home of their original sketch comedy show. It sounds like their recent reunion tour went pretty well. The five-member troupe will star in the series, which Foley says won't be a sketch comedy, but will involve a number of comic characters.

Conservative groups like the American Family Association have been having a fit
over the alleged "homosexual agenda" of
The Book of Daniel. Well here's
another show for them to worry about, but this time, there's definitely no need for "alleged". Here!, the gay
lifestyle network,
has
announced that they plan on creating a cartoon based on the
Kids in the Hall character, Buddy Cole. In the
show, Buddy, the owner of a gay bar, suddenly becomes a parent when his orphaned niece shows up one day. He also comes
under the scrutiny of a conservative city councilman. Animated hilarity is expected to ensue.
Buddy brought
the funny as a few-minutes-long sketch on
Kids in the Hall, but will he be enough to create an entire series?
Well, I guess he's more material to work with than that "I'm crushing your head!" guy (who I still, to this
day, imitate at random intervals).

Producers for the upcoming DVD release of the third season of
Kids in the Hall are looking for fan tributes. Fans are being asked to go to the
Kids official
website and submit self-made videos or other materials for display on the site in what is being called an "online scrapbook."
So before you go over and drop in your homemade Chicken Lady video I was wondering what everyone's favorite
Kids in the Hall moment was? Some of the ones that stick out for me are the one where Dave Foley gets hooked on "girly" drinks, any of Bruce McCullough's monologue pieces and the one where Cabbage Head dies and sees God shares his unique physical characteristic.
