Granted, the show is not going for hilarity in every scene -- in fact, it's a murder mystery. Mark McKinney plays Death, who's come to a Canadian town to collect a big batch of citizens, one by one, starting with the mayor, who is bludgeoned to death with a remote control. Bruce McCulloch plays the town's most overweight resident, who investigates the case despite being unable to leave the house. Scott Thompson plays the town medical examiner, who secretly loved the mayor. Kevin McDonald plays the town's crazy pizza delivery lady. And Dave Foley plays the mayor's wife, who turns out to be a disastrous successor. Everyone also plays at least two or three other roles, of course, but those are the ones who start us off, and better and funnier characters are introduced over the course of eight episodes. If you love the Kids, watch it. If you want to get to know the Kids, watch it. You won't be sorry.

Death Comes to Town airs back-to-back episodes every Friday night at 10 pm.
