Most KITH fans agree that there seemed to be a swoon in Season 4 driven by a lack of creative spark. I would have to concur. While the troupe have rounded out their performances by this season, the material itself drops off. Still there are high points and I think the idea was that they were hoping to be more daring as shown but their lack of reliance on the old standby characters. Many of the recurring sketches are new, such as the socially edgy "Steps" featuring a group of gay men hanging out on the steps shooting the breeze.

The format is well-established by now: 4 discs; 3 of epsiodes; 1 of "Best Of", commentary, rare performances and everything else to which we've grown accustomed.

Personally I think it's worth owning. If you have the other 3 sets then why not just keep completing the collection?

I love Kids in the Hall and had seasons 1-3 for a long time. I wanted to complete the series, so I bought the last two season. While watching the last two seasons, I noticed the show got boring. I didnt laugh as much in season four and I was very disappointed by it. Im happy to see that other reviewers fell the same way about it. Still a few laughs, but not as good as earlier seasons.

The other reviews are correct; the Kids in the Hall are great (and are quite relevant to Sausage lovers). This video, however, contains only two episodes and as such, is of questionable value.

There are a few classics in this DVD series, but they pretty much can be seen in the "best of" disc. The remaining skits...eh...well...how does one say this...but it seemed like they were running out of steam in this season. WAAAAY too many skits are forgettable or (ack) just overall not very funny. & I could not bear to sit through an entire episode devoted to the Queen of England. Even 3 stars seems pretty generous.

I love Kids in the Hall, but unless you're a diehard fan, I would recommend skipping this season.

very silly very zany often kind of dark all very smart.have loved them from the beginning.

such a great comedy group, i highly recommend it for anyone who isn't a big fan of political or topical humor. it's all 100% original comedy with very little influence from the media. GREAT stuff

Loved it when it was on TV, missed it, now I got it back. Great silly comedy.

Queen Elizabeth II visits Buddy Cole at Challet 2000. Paul Bellini has breakfast with a fan at the Ottawa airport. The Chicken Lady visits her childhood home (possibly). Her long lost father recieves an anal probe from a jaded alien. Danny Husk, played by Scott Thompson, finds "one of the Thompson brats," in his car engine. Bruce connects with Small Mammal with whom He Lives a Lie. The whole cast performs "Doe, A Deer," in order to cheer up a kid who just lost his dog (played by the same dog who played Small Mammal).

These are some of my favorite sketches from Season 4 of "The Kids in the Hall" TV show. A must to any of their fans.

KITH is classic comedy. They do have some clinkers, but all excellent comedians do. If you have never seen them, buy Season One used, and go from there. You will end up with them all. I hope they release a DVD from their recent tour with new material.
