Serialised story (not sketch-oriented), slightly dark comedy. Very much Kids in the Hall style though, with the guys playing all the major roles. I think it's great.
Marathon tomorrow (Sun 9/12) on IFC, starting at something like 9:00AM or noon ... depending on what feed you get. DVR it if you can.| Promote this thread! |           | hansen9j

It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects.

Kim was worried that they would look all old and stuff, which I think sufficiently lowered her expectations such that SHE really enjoyed it as well (and she's the big KitH fan in this house). So....there you have it.

Worth seeing the once, but I didn't buy the DVD and I doubt I ever will unless I get really hung up on completing my KitH collection. |
