Awesome show... The reboot will be nothing like the original though because everyone gets offended now a days

I used to record and watch the original episodes over and over and over again. There are so many lines seared into my brain that I quote them to myself randomly without always remembering where they came from. They've become part of my internal wiring.

I jump around streaming services, so the new show will go to the queue until I get back to Prime. I refuse to cut cable, so I have to be choosy with streaming.

I didn't get from the article if the new show will be straight sketch comedy (my strong preference) or something akin to "Death Comes to Town", which I didn't care for, save for a few gags. I had a similar reaction to "Brain Candy".

I've been reading the Kids in the Hall bio, "One Dumb Guy". I'm still in the early chapters. I've had the book for awhile, but only got around to it. It's light but fun reading.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I am cautiously excited for this. A lot of potential here.

Will tune in. Not expecting much, but what the hell. So many classic sketches, so many classic characters in the original. If the new version has a tenth the entertainment value of the original, it'll still be better than 99% of what's on now.

8 episodes that pick up where the original series left off, eh? Sounds great.
I hope they recreate the whole studio audience and have Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet to play.
I'm sure they've had several new ideas for skits for their popular characters.
I don't really want to see Buddy again, but just like the original five seasons, you take the good with the bad.

 

[NyQuil]

Buddy’s great.

Jesus seeing this today makes me feel so old

 

[Burnoutboi]

Kevin McDonald aged exactly how I thought he would : evil professor or serial killer.

I'll give this a watch, but as stated above, who knows if their style of comedy will fly nowadays.

I remember reading on Wikipedia that Dave Foley said he'd probably be arrested if he returned to Canada because of apparent divorce lawsuits or something.

I guess he was either joking or, well, it's Wikipedia.

Definitely a joke. He still does standup tours here. Saw him a few years ago. A very bitter, angry, round little man.

He did previously owe a lot of back-payment in child-support I believe. I can't remember the details but his child-support payments were based off his salary when he starred on NewsRadio but when that show was cancelled his income was drastically reduced but his appeal to reduce his child-support payments was denied and he quickly fell behind. Glad it got sorted out but the Death Comes to Town miniseries was all filmed in North Bay a decade ago so it's likely been resolved for quite some time.

I just watched the documentary Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks. It was good. They promote the reboot some at the end but the majority is about their beginning and show.

Recommended for any fan.

I am offended that you said that everyone gets offended now a days. You better apologize.

30 years ago they poked fun at offending people and the calls to cancel them



Honestly the most snowflake thing that any snowflake can do is to convince themselves that people being offended is a recent development. As if people in the '60's were burning Beatles records for warmth.

I prefer the bra burning--got more warmth from that

Well. I did not expect that robbery scene in the first episode.

Wait until you see the Buddy Cole return.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

The new series is amazing, the only unfunny parts are the 'friends of kids in the hall' transition bits. pure cringe.

 

[Stylizer1]

They tried.
