This week on the Richard Crouse Show we have a look at a new series on Prime Video that reunites one of Canada\u2019s favorite comedy troupes. From 1989 to 1995 the Kids in the Hall, comedians Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, bounced around the dial, with their eponymously named television show, bringing with them subversive comedy and loads of laughs.\n\nThese days there is a Kids in the Hall renaissance of a sort happening. A biography by Paul Myers titled \u201cThe Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy\u201d is available wherever fine books are sold, a two-part documentary called \u201cThe Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks\u201d will feature archival footage from the quintet's earliest years, behind-the-scenes clips from their sketch series and in-depth interviews\u2026 most excitingly, there the Kids are back together in front of a camera for a new eight-episode season on Amazon Prime, executive produced by Lorne Michaels. The revival is set to broadcast on May 13, 2022.\n\nJoining me to talk about the Kids in the Hall, past and present is co-founder Dave Foley and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet drummer Don Pyle, whose song "Having an Average Weekend", was used as the theme to original Kids TV show.
