New Kids in the Hall DEATH COMES TO TOWN trailer

A new trailer is online for Death Comes to Town, the upcoming 8-part series from Canada's answer to Monty Python, the Kids in the Hall. It's longer than the last one, and gives us more of an idea of what to expect.

Also, I was surprised to see that there are more KITH sketches that were posted online around the time that the troupe was doing its last tour. I've never seen them before, and I'm going to assume at least a few of you haven't either. In one, the boys come up with a potentially controversial idea for how to open the stage show. In another, Buddy Cole decides to adopt a child. (Also, if you've missed it, the Car Bangers sketch is some bigtime evil fun.)

All of these bits are very dark and not safe for work, just the way fans would hope for. And it's great to see that the Kids seem to have picked up right where they left off, these bits work well. But while the Kids have always excelled at shock comedy, there's one shock you need to prepare yourself for, before you click: it's been almost two decades since the TV show ended, and the Kids have aged accordingly. (At this point, maybe they should change their names to the Dads in the Hall.)
