Editorial Review: Description: THE KIDS IN THE HALL return to DVD for their fifth and final season of outlandish, outrageous, and totally out-there sketch comedy. What could be a sad occasion turns out to be funnier, riskier, and more brilliant than ever. THE KIDS IN THE HALL: COMPLETE SEASON 5 finds the legendary Canadian quintet pulling out all stops, leaving nothing in the closet. Spoofing the business world long before The Office and Office Space, the Kids dig up laughs in the most unexpected hallways. From fan favorites like Buddy, Kathie, and the Chicken Lady (in a skit for the ages) to new creations like the waiter with stumps for hands or the hillbilly kicked in the head by his cow, fans find themselves laughing despite themselves. Experience classic sketch comedy as it will always be remembered. DVD Features: New Audio Commentary by The Kids; Season 5 Best-of Compilation Featuring Fan-Favorite Sketches; Cast Biographies; And more... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - They jump the shark in this last seasonFewer live skits, more "movies" that seem pointless and aren't funny. The writing has gone down in quality in this last season and the freshness is lost. You can tell that they have burned out here. Stick with seasons one to four. Rating:  - "Hey, hey, hey!" This is just plain good watch'n. If you love the Kids in the Hall - even if you don't - you'll love this. It has some great bonuses that make it more than worth the price. My girlfriend and I watch a couple of episodes every Sunday in place of church. Rating:  - I cannot give this 5 stars, but it's still a good seasonFirst of all, the good: There are some classic, awesome skits in Season 5, "Penny" being a work of genius. This is definitely the season for "Bruce" fans, since you can sense a lot of his odd, offbeat humor here. Many of the skits are superbly produced, and actually look more well directed than many movies. The bad: I'd still have to say there's quite a few skits that fall short of noteworthy, which is why I can't give this an additional star. Specific gripes: Scott is hilarious in ...

Rating: - KITH - Out with a Bang!The fifth and final season of Kids in the Hall actually seems to thrive and throb on the artistic differences amongst the kids. There is a palpable creative tension between Bruce McCulloch, Scott Thompson, and David Foley, as if a behind-the-scenes power struggle rages (I guess it actually did rage), and Kevin and Mark come off as the comic glue holding the whole operation together. Scott Thompson's queer sensibility bleeds through more often than not, pushing the homophobic buttons right and left. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
