I have long been a student of sketch comedy, and there has been little to be excited about in my world since Mr. Show, The State & UCB are no longer with us. Sketch Pad is the answer. It's chock full o' great sketches that push the boundaries (thank God for HBO). The sketches avoid the SNL curse of going too long, and they get great performances from the cast. My favorite was the magician sketch, and the Kids in the Hall reunion was fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing the second installment, and hope there are many more to come.
