Great to see the boys back at it. A true Canadian classic. Please bring them back :)

Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice are Canadian comedy heroes.

I was excited to see the boys back! I definitely think there's potential here, but I also think this special feels like a pilot, like the first ten minutes of a movie. After it was over I thought, okay, how many episodes in the series? Until I realized that was it. As a standalone product it lacks focus and drive, and there's too much squabbling without progression. Like the long argument in the apartment arguing about how Kenny is carrying Spenny. That could have been shorter, but I think it would have been stronger if it were not included at all. The arguing in the main series was in service of the larger narrative -- the competitions -- and without a strong goal in mind the narrative loses cohesion. I dont think the boys are finished yet, but I do think they should get back to what they're good at: trying to one-up and outwit each other in competitions. As I've said for years, we really need a KvS season 7.

Good. But what we really need is Kenny vs Spenny season 7, and so on :-)

What could make the mess of a year 2020 was end on a high note. Nothing else but the Kenny vs Spenny pandemic special!!!
