199.0. ""Kids in the Hall" (Canadian comedy)" by APLVEW::DEBRIAE (Erik de Briae (Wein, Weisswurst, und Wien Waltzen)) Thu Dec 09 1993 07:14

	Every once in a great while, we are up real late over the weekend with
	the TV on (usually doing some kind of home improvement job), when the
	fab Canadian comedy show "Kids in the Hall" comes on the air for a
	whole hour (two shows).

	I _think_ it is on CBS, I think on Saturday, and I _think_ either from
	2:00 to 3:00 AM or 3:00 to 4:00 AM.  I miss this show since it was
	dropped from HBO.  It has a _slightly_ different non-US 'spin' to it
	that I find oddly refreshing and enjoyable even when some of the skits
	turn out to be bad.  There's always one small feature each show that
	makes me laugh and stays with me (even on their worst nights).  Anyway
	I missed the show and was surprised to see it over the airwaves again.
	I've seen it on the air late weekends several times now (including
	maybe even a year ago), but have forgotten about the exact station and
	times each time morning comes around.  It also seems to be on very
	sporadically, and often has been time-shifted (like on from 2:15 to
	3:15 or so). 

	Can anyone verify the channel and show times for me? Or know how long
	it has been/will be on for? I'd like to get my VCR to catch these shows
	for more timely viewing...  can't believe I've been missing these all
	this time.

    	I seen it on Comedy Central but, I don't remember which night.
    

    
    It's on Comedy Central every weeknight at 9, and probably at least once
    during the weekend.

    	Is there a "Kids in the Hall" fan club or an address where they
    	can be reached?
    
    	I wrote to Comedy Central asking for a fan club address and
    	they sent me a very nice "Short Attention Span Theater" bumper
    	sticker and some play money, but no address.  I think they are
    	hysterical.  I've seen all the old episodes at least 4-5 times and 
    	I tune in at 9pm every night hoping for a new one.

    They can direct you to the producers.
    I think Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live had a hand in this 
    show.                                

    
    I called the CBC and got a mailing address for Kids in the Hall:
