I bought the first season on Amazon a while back because they had a used copy for five or six bucks, if that.

The couple of skits I had seen online were funny, so I figured I'd check out more.

Jesus Christ, I've never seen a comedy show run out of material that quickly.

I mean, by season five, the Kids in the Hall were obviously using a lot of rejected skits from years past, but they still had the occasional good one. That's season five.

This is season one. The first few episodes had some really funny stuff in them. By the sixth episode, they had run dry.

When you're reduced to making date-rape jokes and having not one but two skits in which "the fat member" dances in his underwear, you're fucked.



In other sketch comedy news, UCB season 3 is still not on DVD, but I found a torrent with VHS rips of it and we watched that. Made me remember why I love the UCB.
