A lot can be said about Saturday Night Live's inconsistency, but it should be remembered that Lorne Michaels produced a sketch comedy show for five seasons that was consistently brilliant: the Canadian series The Kids in the Hall. Full of ridiculously surreal characters and more cross-dressing than an episode of Monty Python, the show was arguably brilliant from beginning to end. After it ended, the Kids made one movie, Brain Candy, then dispersed to do their own projects, but they would reunite to tour, and now they've reunited to do a mini-series, which aired on Canadian television earlier this year. And while a certain amount of dread comes with any reunion of once-funny performers, the mini-series is pretty damn funny -- possibly as good as anything they've ever done.
