Editorial Review: Description: Overwhelming audience demand brings THE KIDS IN THE HALL back on DVD with another brilliant set of sketch comedy classics! After two highly influential seasons, the comedic quintet hit their stride in THE KIDS IN THE HALL: COMPLETE SEASON THREE. Writing and performing every sketch, everyone's favorite shape-shifting Canadians offered up more uproarious, risqué, but always sweet and charming takes on life's absurdities. From familiar favorites like the Chicken Lady and Mississippi Gary to brilliant originals like "Flying Pig" and "Girl Drink Drunk," THE KIDS IN THE HALL always found their unique humor in the strangest corners. DVD Features: New Audio Commentary by the Kids; 2 Season 3 Best-of Compilations Featuring Fan-Favorite Sketches; 30 More Minutes of Never-Before-Seen-On-TV Performances from the Rivoli Theater; Slide Show; Biographies; And More… Amazon.com: With greater success comes greater confidence. Fortunately, the Kids had the talent to back it up. For their third season, the Canadian quintet upped the ante with more location work (the show is less set-bound than before), more extras (especially senior citizens and canines), and more special effects (Bruce McCulloch's Flying Pig, Kevin McDonald and his twin, Scott Thompson and his robotic double). The basic format, live sketches combined with short films, remained the same. As with their second year, the Toronto troupe brought back a number of fan favorites, while introducing a bevy of new eccentrics. Like a cartoon version of Freaks, the Chicken Lady (Mark McKinney) returns with new bosom buddy the Bearded Lady (McDonald). Better yet, she discovers scantily clad stripper Rooster Boy (Thompson). Can she handle the excitement? (Short answer: No.) Other returning characters include gabby geek Gavin (McCulloch), bitchy bar man Buddy Cole (Thompson), Jacques Tati-like Mr. Heavyfoot (Dave Foley), clueless Police Department Cops (McCulloch and McKinney), and Sir Simon Milligan (McDonald) and Satanic manservant Hecubus (Foley). Even the "It's a Fact" girl makes a reappearance, although McKinney takes her place when she demands more money ("Triple scale!"). Third year highlights include McDonald's uber-blasé Empty Promises Guy ("It slipped my mind…") and McCulloch's catchy "Terrier Song," in which he extols the virtues of the popular breed ("Give terriers a chance / Do the terrier dance"). Unlike most sketch comedies, The Kids in the Hall was never about guest stars. Nonetheless, sharp-eyed viewers are sure to recognize a pre-Party of Five Neve Campbell in "Pizzeria," in which McDonald and McKinney become gibbering idiots in her private schoolgirl presence. --Kathleen C.

 Rating:  - Still edgy after all these yearsHaving just revisited the third season of Kids In The Hall again after many years had passed, it just makes me miss these guys even more. Caught them on their most recent (and hilarious) live reunion tour as well as the previous one. Many outstanding sketches abound in this consistently funny third season and it's clear that they were at their best when they clearly pooled their resources for truly original and edgy comedy sketches that still hold up fifteen years later. Not sure we'll see the likes ...

I tried so hard to speak with a person at Amazon, and it was impossible. I contacted my bank and they said they have no idea why Amazon would claim this. So I had to give the same bank information to Amazon again and surprisingly that time they got it right and sent the dvd with no apology and my wife didn't get her present in time. I will never buy anything ... Read More Rating: - unfunnyI expected a funnier season. Most of the stories I found boring and annoying. I don't know, maybe I just get older. KITH were still young and had a lot of freedom to do any stories on any topic. That's cool when you are young. I think season 1,2 were much better. All of them are older now despite that seasons seem still fresh. I wonder if they would still do same episodes or they would cut some of them out now. Mark McKinney is my favorite kid in the hall and it's a fact (though "It's a fact girl" segments ... Read More Rating: - Kids will be Kids.Back when I used to watch the Comedy Channel in the by-gone days of the 90's I had two favorite shows. One was MST3k. The other was The Kids in the Hall. Season three was when they really started to get it right. I've found almost all of my favorite sketches on this collection so far and I couldn't be happier about it! Highly recommended. Rating: - As fresh as ever!!!The Kids in the Hall are just as good as I remember!!! A must have for fans of this series! Browse for similar items by category:
