"Thirty Helens agree" that the Canadian comedy troupe THE KIDS IN THE HALL set a new standard in sketch comedy with their cult television series produced by Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels. Week after week, the five Canadians--Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson--created edgy, experimental comedy populated by unique characters and hysterical forays into the bizarre (often in drag). Revisit the exploits of Cabbage Head, Chicken Lady, Cathy and Kathie, Buddy Cole, Head Crusher, and Hecubus with this 4-volume set that includes all 20 episodes from The Kids' debut season. Features the classic skits "Womyn," "Death Row," "Salty Ham," "The Banker Doesn't Like Us," "Skoora," and many more.
