The Kids in the Hall is a Canadian sketch comedy group formed in 1984, consisting of comedians Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson. Their eponymous television show ran from 1989 to 1995 on CBC in Canada, and CBS, HBO, and Comedy Central in the United States. The theme song for the show was the instrumental "Having an Average Weekend" by the Canadian band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. These five government-bankrolled cross-dressers weren’t afraid to crush heads, wear squirrel fur or orgasm in a mad puff of feathers. We love the Kids both because they were the natural inheritors of CODCO and SCTV, and even more because they were the last time the CBC did anything risky.
