My favourite thing about the Kenny vs Spenny DVD's happens to be the commentary. If you have yet to listen in on one than you are seriously missing out on some laughs that are potentially funnier than the show. Season 4 lacked it, so I bought the KvsS Volume 1 from the US just for the the commentary and endure horrendous cuts of the episodes (No wonder the show failed there). Season 5 has commentary. Really really funny commentary at that. Now season 6 comes... wheres my commentary?
To be fair it comes with a FEW bonus features:
-Outtakes
-Photo gallery
-Bonus Episode (which has been available on the Showcase website for a long time)
In all this dvd is a bit lacking compared to previous releases. I feel the boys let me down, if the lack of promotion and lack of commentary is an indication of their support for the show I would say it's a safe bet we wont be seeing season 7. And that really really sucks.

As much as I love this show, I think Season Six proves the boys are running out of ideas. The premise of the show is essentially "Who is better than the other" at something. After six seasons it gets a little hard to think of fresh things to compete over. Spenny has been quite open about wanting to do something else, but staying for the money. (Check out Spenny's movie Confessions of a Porn Addict to see Spenny as a solo artist.)

Here are your episodes:

"Who's The Bigger Idiot?" - Originally a web-only release. I actually preferred it to many of the actual aired episodes this season. Spenny makes some fun retro-style videoes, recreating the most idiotic moments of his past. ****

"Who Can 69 The Longest?" - Even the crew got bored with this one. A dull season opener. All humiliation, no competition. At least Kenny got it equally bad. *

"Who Can Squeeze More Boobs?" - I found this one to be too similar to past episodes, further proof that the boys are running out of ideas. **

"Who Can Keep His Head In A Chicken Coop The Longest?" - Better than the previous two. However, once again, Kenny got bored and had to change the competition to something else, because let's face it, you can only watch a guy with a chicken coop on his head for so long. Great punishment, though. **

"Who Can Get Further With The Other Guy's Mom?" - I knew this one would be a dead-end letdown just by the title, and I was right. *

"Who Can Win a Cockfight?" - This is a little bit better. Taking a cue from shows like Robot Wars, Kenny and Spenny attach all sorts of mechanisms to their mid-sections and do battle! ***

"Who's A Better Basketball Coach?" - A classic case of who can out-think the other. I'm not a huge basketball fan so I found that aspect boring, but the competition itself keeps you guessing. ***

"Who Do Black Guys Like More? Pt. 1 and Pt. 2" - A two-parter. Part one mostly sets up the competition. As you can imagine, Kenny does everything he can to defame Spenny. I thought this one was pretty fun due to some pretty interesting guests. ***

"Who Can Have More Fun?" - I loved this episode. Obviously, Kenny's idea of fun and Spenny's idea of fun are two diametrically opposed things. Spenny comes up with some pretty strong strategies in this one. Kenny is at his destructive best. ****

"Who Can?" - This season really, really came into its own by the end. This episode is the first of four 5-star episodes in a row. Essentially, it starts off as a behind-the-scenes episode. Spenny arrives at the house (offering the first clue that the guys don't actually live there together) to find that Kenny has declared himself Emperor. The competition was supposed to be about badminton, but Kenny refuses to break character. Spenny then spends the episode trying to figure out what the actual competition is! Kenny brings out a cavalcade of characters and costumes with a climax that had me in tears. *****

"Who Can Produce The Best Commercial?" - Best episode of the season. "Frommagio Al Forno! Good thinkin', Mama!" It's episodes like this that make me wonder if Spenny really is as stupid as he appears, because he sure comes off as stupid in this one. *****

"Who Can Put On The Best Play?" - Kenny's play was offensive as ever. Spenny's made me cringe. I'm shocked he actually thought he could act. *****

"Who Can Stay On An Island The Longest?" - What a great Kenny dupe. What a way to end the season. The boys take a trip to the Carribean, to see who can stay on an island the longest. If you think this is just a simple remake of "Who Can Stay In The Woods The Longest?", think again! *****

I haven't read officially if this is the final season yet, but I feel it should be. (***NOTE: Kenny and Spenny both have solo shows coming in 2011: THE TRIUMPH OF WILL and SINGLE WHITE SPENNY.***) Kenny Vs. Spenny really peaked in the third and fourth seasons. Season six got off to a pretty slow start, only coming into its own towards the end, making it the weakest season so far. The competitions are getting more and more ridiculous and far removed from the original premise. Kenny's absurd sense of humour keeps the series watchable, but it is no longer about "Who is the best" at something. It is now about Kenny humiliating Spenny for 22 minutes.

For fans, you will need this obviously. For others, I will admit this is not the best season to own.

3 stars. Good thinkin' mama.

This is everything i could have hoped for! im almost 100% sure that there will be a season 7 indicaated by spennys facebook page. This season might not be the best but its better then most of season 5 and 1.This has my favorite episode, "Who Can Produce The Best Commercial?" but it has a really boring one, "Who is the better Basketball Coach?" skip that one. But I think anyone who likes comedy NEEDS to buy it, dont believe other people, its just a very good show and season. PLZ make Season 7! :D. so im definitly going to buy it
