Features: DVD
For five groundbreaking seasons, Canadian-bred comic prodigies THE KIDS IN THE HALL stretched sketch comedy to its ultimate limits with hilariously off-the-wall results. With a cast of comic creations only the brilliant--or truly twisted--could imagine, THE KIDS IN THE HALL: THE COMPLETE SERIES MEGASET presents the Kids nearly 800 sketches from every single episode of each season in this stunning 20-disc set. From the infamous Chicken Lady and Crushing Your Head to Buddy Cole and the romantically challenged Cabbage Head, these pioneering, edgy, and ever-charming comedians always managed to land on the stranger side of funny--and look good in floral dresses while doing it. Unhinged, unprecedented, and unfailingly unpredictable, the Emmy nominated, critically acclaimed cult favorite THE KIDS IN THE HALL is at long last available in its sidesplitting entirety. Be warned: the complete compendium of THE KIDS IN THE HALL could lead to irrepressible episodes of spontaneous head-crushing.

Editor's Note
The Kids in the Hall, the Canadian quintet of comedians consisting of Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, delivered hilarious and surreal sketch comedy for five seasons on Comedy Central. The Kids in the Hall's dry absurdist wit, combined with their penchant for performing in drag, demonstrates a strong comic affinity with the legendary Monty Python's Flying Circus. This extensive collection of episodes from the show covers the period between 1989 and 1994.
