Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town

This caught me by surprise..even more so than when I was in line at the Halal stand and Flying Pig came out of nowhere saying "Wow, what a lineup. But don't worry, look at me! Hey hey!!".

It's just a blast seeing the guys doing what they do best. KITH sets the stage and introduces an array of new characters with that great humor with a dark edge. What's great about their brand of comedy is they really never held any punches. This can be seen throughout the series. The interactions really cracked me up: the Mayor and Marilyn, Marnie & Ricky, Crim & Sam Murray, Death and...everybody else! How about the Breaking News crew...Levon's facial indifference is priceless (thanks to Dave of course). And how can you beat a name like Rampop! The only downside with this is it's brief length of 8 eps...but I'm not complaining. Bruce really shines as Ricky Jarvis who's probably my fave character. Crim in his hazed out germ gel state is also a blast.

Hey KITH, keep them coming!

LMAO funny, these guys have always been good at making me laugh, and they have not lost their touch with this. Death Comes to Town is a great mini-series that I hope is not the end of Kids in the Hall now. I hope this is a restart of the wonderful comedy these guys are really good at. They have just a slew of wonderful characters in this comedy as well as few guest appearances from old favorites.This is a must watch for any fan of the show. Scott Thompson, Dave Foley, Scott Thompson, Mark McKinney, and Bruce McCulloch are all back and a bit older. I am a little upset that the only way I can watch this right now is online.

Very funny show, A little Cerebral, but not enough to push away fans of their comedy, and not their tribute movies ( "Sausages" for example). Great writing, and directing, nice to see old actors fro the show making the walk on appearances. Hopefully, we'll see more mini series from them in the future. I do have to say, it is in the vein of Pyschoville, by the League of Gentlemen. Not a bad feel either way. Again, they could have introduced a few female comedians/actresses. As the boys are getting to old to pull of the women characters. But again, to each their own. I wonder who will be next to go?? my Money is on the Orphan. Viva KiTH!

As a long time fan of the KITH, I was so excited to find their show on IFC. The writing and the characters are totally hilarious!!!!! I only wish the series could keep going. My husband goes around the house singing "got a job to do" and we have laughed so much at these characters from Death Comes to Town.

KITH should be writing comedy all the time. It is innate for them. I always have trouble trying to decide which one of these five amazing guys makes me laugh harder. Any true KITH fan will love the Death Comes to Town series. It made my Friday for those weekends the new episodes aired. Yes those episodes are taking up space on my DVR and I don't care. Please give me more KITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This isnt like The Kids In The Hall Show, this has one over arching story with the same characters all the way through.

Its very well written, the same kind of clever wit with plenty of silliness on the side.

The story is a murder mystery in a small town.

Death is played by Mark McKinney and is arguably one of the best versions of death on screen so far. (Horrible Histories Death and Monty Pythons version are still the better Deaths...)

I'm.not sure if I'd say fans of the sketch show would enjoy this, it's a completely different animal of a show.

It is worth a watch though, it's on prime right now so no excuse.

Plus.. Scott Thompson is THE kid in the Hall.
