From the Chicken Lady, to the Head Crusher, to the 2 Cathys, to Francesa Fiore, from These are the Daves I Know to Terriers, from checking navel depth to Ladies of the night using sock puppets, from Satan playing guitar to the Jerry sisters, Mister Cabbagehead to Gavin, this is the most fun you can have in a box.

....who dress as ladies.

Ok, this fantastic gem of a series came out of my home town of Toronto, where 5 sketch comedy writers were very determined to MAKE IT in show biz. Thank goodness they did. Thank goodness Lorne Michaels of SNL fame came home and spotted them. Thank goodness they didn't let 'real life' interfere with their determination. They are way too weird to not get noticed anyway.

I like to describe this series as a wonderful new drug for the mind. I literally became addicted to watching their comedy sketches and that need to see them doesn't wear off until the series ends. Their concepts for sketches are out there, they do and say anything that they think they can get away with, and somehow the CBC let them. Nothing compares to this kind of humour, both before and now.

It's weird, wonderful and silly, and they don't expect you to take them seriously. You'll start to wonder why you're not more funny.

So stop taking yourself seriously and buy the first season (like I did), realize that you want all the seasons (like I did), then stop hunting around and come right to this page and buy the Megaset because this is best deal you're going to find for this series. That way you'll know it'll come quickly, so you know there's no waiting for that next wonderful hit to the cerebral cortex.

Bought the set when it went on sale. Great deal for all 5 seasons. Have only watched one DVD so far and am satisfied with the quality. Good feel of nostalgia while watching as well. I highly recommend if you are a fan of the show.

Many of the K I T H skits weather the test of time well. Their female impersonations are great and the surprise endings of many skits speak to the originality of the writers

Fantastic collection!
My only complaint is season five, which seems to be censored....which begs the question...is the included season five the original season five aired in Canada, or the censored version aired in the United States?
If it's the United States version, then are there also skits missing and/or edited as was the case when it started airing on HBO?

Great boxed set, Great price, Fast and Free Shipping, what more could I ask for. This is one of the best sketch comedy troups around. If you like Monty Python you'll love Kids In The Hall.

Thanks Amazon.ca

For $90, getting 5 seasons of a hilarious series is definately worth it. Plus the bonus features are a fantastic, well, bonus. The commentary is the funniest DVD commentary I've ever heard, and the interviews are in depth. I absolutely recomment this item.

The product arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was in very good condition. I'd buy from them again.

Kids in the hall are the best reference of comedy from Canada, but DHL makes this item not worth buying through Amazon, Amazon sends the package and knows this company charges lots of money in countries that protects their internal markets.
Since they claim ya signed DHL and agree to their rules when ya checked out they are the once to do as your customs brokers. therefor charging you whatever they want.
Mine was USD126 and the product was USD116, Well done DHL!!! Good biz!
In Argentina a regular Salary is 3000 pesos, the set of DVD i bought costs 860 Pesos.
So I'll never buy from Amazon with DHL.
All and all a great Show, Go Canada!
cheers
