The Kids In The Hall Season 6 2022 The Kids return to TV in a new 8 episode series for Amazon Prime. It's created and written by the Kids: Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. They have some other writers: Garry Campbell, Mike Watts and Jennifer Goodhue. Mike and Jennifer join the Kids in front of the camera in some sketches. The episodes were directed by Kelly Makin and Aleysa Young. I'd just seen one of Kelly's first films, Tiger Claws, just the other night.

Many of the sketches are callbacks to past characters: The Hotel Rut with Francesca Fiore and Bruno Puntz Jones, the headcrusher, Gavin, Gordon and Fran, the Eradicator, the Police Department with a totally naked Dave and Kevin, willies a wavin'. It might be the time to get out your crushing fingers. I was pleased to see the return of Bellini in his towel, Buddy Cole, and Kathie and Cathy with their fax machine. I was quite pleased not to have seen The Chicken Lady, I watched each episode with a slight sense of dread. The sketch from the old series that introduced that character is excruciating to watch. I feel so for her unsuspecting blind date.

There are some new characters, like the restaurant staff in the Foodies sketches, Super Drunk, The Patrol, Friends of Kids In The Hall, the Doctor with the low drop average, the Doomsday DJ and more.
The guest cast includes quite a few people I recognize: Colin Mochrie, Kenneth Welsh, Mark Hammill, Jay Baruchel, Eddie Izzard, Fred Armisen, Martin Kaye, Will Forte, Kenan Thompson, Samantha Bee, Catherine O'Hara and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee.
The Kids have managed to recapture the feel of the original series fairly well. The old series always had a nice level of surrealness to it and so does the new show. Some sketches are quite funny, some are quite weird. I laughed when it was funny, occasionally out loud, and waited for something funny when it wasn't. I'll try to watch it again. If they put out a DVD I'll get one. I kind of doubt that's going to happen but you never know.
