Best Show Ever!, 29 November 2005
Author: Chicken-Lady from United States

Hands-down, The Kids In The Hall is the funniest show ever! Not only are the guys adorable to look at, but the sketches are so brilliantly written by the guys themselves! The guys even accurately portray women on the show to properly act out each sketch! This show leaves your cheeks hurting and with six-pack abs from all the deep belly laughs! But wait, there's more! The guys are all best friends so the chemistry is naturally there and everything else just fits together perfectly! It's hard to find people who aren't fans of the show...no matter what age they are! Everyone one loves Kids In The Hall! GO KIDS IN THE HALL!! :)
