"While some considered the 2nd season to be perhaps as funny but slightly less daring than the 1st, this time around everything seems to work perfectly. The concepts are as bold as ever, the insights at times are biting and cynical, the concepts are hilariously absurd yet often executed with nuance (a tough feat) and the boys just seem to have found the perfect chemistry. Their intelligent brand of oddball sketch comedy is now fully mastered coming off smoother than before while thankfully never losing the raw edge of the earlier work.
The 4-disc format of the package remains exactly the same as the first 2 seasons with the actor commentary, compilations of favorite sketches, rare never-seen performances from the Rivoli Theater and cast bios alongside all of the episodes. It's a very solid set of added material though not a total home run in terms of extras; however it's what we've come to expect for the series at this point and the consistency is fine.
Obviously this is a must for fans and I think you'll find this to be the most enjoyable of the 3 sets so far. For newcomers I think this is an easier place to dip into the weird world of KITH since the entire act is a bit more polished."
Kids are Klassy

"There really isn't much that needs saying. The Kids in the Hall are best ensemble comedy group to ever come out of North America. It's a real treat to see the shows as they were originally broadcast in Canada. Aside from the regular episodes there are two "best of " compilations on disk four, both with very interesting and amusing commentary from the performers. There is also footage of a live performance that pre dates their television program.
Any Kids fan will want to own this and every other Season Set."
Kids will be Kids.

"Back when I used to watch the Comedy Channel in the by-gone days of the 90's I had two favorite shows. One was MST3k. The other was The Kids in the Hall. Season three was when they really started to get it right. I've found almost all of my favorite sketches on this collection so far and I couldn't be happier about it! Highly recommended."
They were in the zone

"I forgot how much good material they turned out...in particular, the 2nd season would have to rate as their best for me, so if you only buy one of their seasons, go with Season 2...By Seasons 4 & 5 they were getting more experimental and expanding the logic and length of their pieces, which is more toward's Bruce's writing (sausages, wigs, etc.)...less funny, but more cinematic in nature...Season 1 was basically sketches in front of a live studio audience, and not much planned in a television-show sort of mentality...I know these thoughts are somewhat random in order, but hey, that's how I watched the boxed set..."
As fresh as ever!!!
