Kids In the Hall - Vol. 1

I loved Kids in the Hall back when it was on the air. It was a classic comedy show. I bought this DVD cuz I knew I'd get a good laugh. I did, but less than I thought I would. Maybe my sense of humor has changed a little, but I didn't find a lot of it as funny as I had hoped. There are some classic bits, like the Head Crusher and the Business Trappers. So, for that reason, it's a must have. But, about half of it was kinda throw away for me. The "Kids" are superb comedians when they hit the mark. Maybe Season 1 they were still ironing out some of the kinks. I recommend it, just not very highly. September 20, 2007
