DVD Reviews of The Kids in the Hall MegasetDVD Review: BUY THIS Summary: 5 StarsI NEVER spend this much money on DVDs. I'm so glad I bought this, though.
Some of the sketches seem a little dated (He's Cool, He's Hip, He's 45), but they're still as funny as I remembered. The episodes shown on Comedy Central had sketches cut out or censored. These DVDs will let you see everything you've missed.
DVD Review: Not as funny as I remember Summary: 3 StarsI remember catching these on Comedy Central several years ago. All the drag was done really well, but the rest of it... I found myself cringing over some of the material. I bought the whole series, but having watched a few episodes, I'm not really drawn to keep going. I'd suggest only buying one season (or better, getting it from the library) to see if it's as good as you remember.
DVD Review: Unfortunately no subtitles Summary: 4 StarsThis is the perfect Kids in the Hall megaset with lots of extra material for fans. It's good-looking from outside to inside and nothing about it feels cheap. But since there weren't any subtitles available at all and my hearing is a little bad, I'm still very disappointed. It seems as it would've been an easy thing to add and now that I'm without there's nothing I can do. But still, I'm a proud owner of 42 hours of pure fun!
DVD Review: The Kids in the Hall are EVIL! Summary: 5 StarsAt my house, we watch and re-watch these dvds, and just laugh and laugh. Just hearing the intro song makes me feel happy. Why did it have to end?
DVD Review: Hilarious sketch comdy and great bonus features Summary: 5 StarsWhere to begin...the Kids in the Hall are 5 completely different and truly brilliant comics. This set is a must-have (whether you buy it as a set or individually). The recurring characters are especially hilarious from the very first episode: Chicken Lady, Buddy Cole, Cathy and Kathy, Thirty Helens, the Headcrusher, Bellini, Simon and Hecubus, "He's Hip..", the Cops, Queen Elizabeth, and I know I forgot a ton of others. They are all priceless. One of the sketches that always cracks me up is when Scott Thompson's character decides he wants to be an Indian woman. I don't know why, it just does. Bruce McCulloch's annoying kid Gavin is awesome as are Simon and Hecubus ("EVIL!"). And the one where Kevin and Dave are trappers in an office building. I could go on and on, it is impossible to pick one favorite. Then there are their monologues...absolutely priceless! The bonus features are truly great, the new interviews show the guys still have the great sarcastic wit that made them wildly popular. Also very cool is the archival footage from the Rivoli Theater in Toronto.
Description of The Kids in the Hall MegasetFor five groundbreaking seasons, Canadian-bred comic prodigies THE KIDS IN THE HALL stretched sketch comedy to its ultimate limits with hilariously off-the-wall results. With a cast of comic creations only the brilliant--or truly twisted--could imagine, THE KIDS IN THE HALL: THE COMPLETE SERIES MEGASET presents the Kids' nearly 800 sketches from every single episode of each season in this stunning 20-disc set. From the infamous Chicken Lady and Crushing Your Head to Buddy Cole and the romantically challenged Cabbage Head, these pioneering, edgy, and ever-charming comedians always managed to land on the stranger side of funny--and look good in floral dresses while doing it. Unhinged, unprecedented, and unfailingly unpredictable, the Emmy? nominated, critically acclaimed cult favorite THE KIDS IN THE HALL is at long last available in its sidesplitting entirety. Be warned: the complete compendium of THE KIDS IN THE HALL could lead to irrepressible episodes of spontaneous head-crushing.
