Frequenty Asked Questions
-------------------------

1.01)  What is The Kids in the Hall?

  The Kids in the Hall (aka KITH, aka KitH) is a sketch comedy TV show. 
  KITH is known for its off-beat irreverant comedy and hilariously
  accurate and subtle characterizations of both men *and* women (all of
  the Kids are male).  If you have never seen KITH you are missing out! 
  Check it out!

1.02)  Where can I find the KITH FAQ?  How often is it posted?

1.03)  Who are The Kids in the Hall?

  The Kids in the Hall are Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, 
  Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson.  Also appearing occasionally are
  Paul Bellini, Brian Hartt, Norm Hiscock.

1.04)  Where can I watch KITH?  What day/time/channel?

  USA:
  In the USA, the easiest place to watch KITH is Comedy Central, a cable
  network.  Comedy Central shows KITH reruns approximately daily at several 
  different times, including (Eastern times) 1:30pm, 11:00pm, and often late
  at night or early in the morning.  Comedy Central is not available
  in all areas; pester your local cable operator if you do not have it.
  Other cable systems make Comedy Central share one channel with another
  cable network, so you may have Comedy Central only during certain times
  of the day.  If this is the case, you still may be able to catch KITH
  since it is shown so often.  Comedy Central changes its schedule very
  often, so this information may no longer be accurate.  Check your local 
  listings (or check alt.tv.kids-in-hall) for the latest info.  
  
  Every Father's Day, Comedy Central has a "Father's Day with the Kids"
  KITH marathon that lasts up to 12 hours!  Other marathons on Comedy
  Central (for example, "Canada Day" (July 1) and "The Joy of Sketch")
  also feature KITH sketches, but generally not entire shows.  There are
  occasionally other KITH-only marathons on CC, though, so keep an eye out.
  
  [ ???? Is KITH still on CBS ???? ] 
  The broadcast network CBS showed KITH episodes late Fridays or Saturdays.  
  CBS shows two episodes separated by a short sketch that explains that 
  another show is coming up next.  So CBS episodes are in fact an hour long.  
  Note that it is up to each local CBS affiliate station to decide when to 
  show KITH.  Some show it very late at night and some don't show it at all.  
  You may have two or more CBS affiliates in your area; if it is not on one, 
  it might be on another.  Check your local listings.
  
  The premium cable network HBO used to show premiere, uncensored KITH
  episodes, but once KITH moved from HBO to CBS there were no more
  HBO episodes.
  
  Canada:
  In Canada, KITH is on CBC Monday nights at 9:00pm.     
  
  UK:
  In the UK, KITH is no longer being aired.
  
  Satellite:
  ???? anyone have any info ????
  
  Elsewhere:
  
  The Netherlands: channel Nederland 3, Tuesdays 8:00pm
  Greece: channel Seven-X, weekdays 8:00pm
  
  ???? anyone have any more info ????

1.05)  Is KITH censored?  Where can I watch uncensored shows?

  The Kids in the Hall is censored on Comedy Central and CBS to remove
  adult language and (very) occasional nudity. (On CBS in the early days
  there was much less censorship than today for some reason.)  There are
  also apparently some sketches that have never been aired by either
  Comedy Central or CBS because of language and/or content.  HBO, CBC and
  UK shows are/were uncensored.  However, some HBO sketches have not
  appeared on CBC or were changed.  Currently in the USA there is no
  network to watch uncensored shows on.
  
  Keep in mind that the uncensored lines appear in the closed captioning,
  so if you have a CC decoder, and the sketch is closed-captioned, you can 
  read the uncensored line if you can't figure it out from context.  
  (See "Is KITH closed-captioned?")
  
  See the Censored Lines section in Part 3 of this FAQ for more informaton
  and a list of what was actually said in various sketches.
  (See "Censored Lines")
  
  Some sketches are censored by being re-shot.  There is no way to tell if 
  a sketch has been re-shot to remove adult language except by checking 
  the Censored Lines section in Part 3 of this FAQ. 

1.06)  Is KITH closed-captioned?

  The Kids in the Hall is occasionally closed-captioned on Comedy Central.
  There is no definite pattern of which shows are closed-captioned.  In
  fact, within one show some sketches may be closed-captioned while others
  are not.  And the same show on Comedy Central may be closed captioned one
  time it is shown but uncaptioned the next time it is shown.  KITH was much 
  more regularly (perhaps always) closed captioned on HBO. 
  
  From joec@hookup.net (Joe Clark):
  
  KITH is captioned in Canada by the inept, subliterate captioners at the
  National Captioning Center (early years of the show) or the even more
  appallingly inept and subliterate captioners at Premier Subtitling
  (recent years).  On HBO the show was probably captioned by the OK
  captioners a the (U.S.) National Captioning Institute.  Comedy Central
  may be running captioned dubs from either source, or uncaptioned dubs.
  In the former case, the captions are not likely to contain the same
  censoring as the audio; that's a sophisticated detail I expect Comedy
  Central doesn't want to spend the money on. In other words, when Scott
  Thompson says "blow job," a hearing viewer with captions on could read
  it without hearing it.

1.07)  Are spellings on the closed-captioning "official"? 

  Almost definitely not.  This FAQ lists the closed-captioned spellings of
  character's names in the recurring characters list under "CC Name" as
  possible alternate spellings to consider, until "official" names are
  known.  Information from various sources about official sketch names
  and spellings will be collated and compiled into the FAQ in future
  versions.   
  
  In at least one HBO sketch the closed-captioning spelled Darryl "Doril";
  it has also been spelled "Darryl".  As an example of the fallibility of
  the closed captioning in general, in one head crusher (Mr. Tyzik) 
  sketch, the closed captioning often used the word "curse"(!) instead of
  "crush".
  
  Then again, Darryl was spelled "Derell" by Comedy Central in some promos 
  during their "Joy of Sketch" Weekend in 1993, so go figure.

1.08)  Where can I get Comedy Central info/schedules?

  There used to be a free (snail) mailing list, but it has been cancelled.  
  There is now a phone number that has some Comedy Central info, it is
  212-767-8851.  There is no specific KITH info there usually, but it
  apparently doesn't cost (except for the cost of the phone call).
  The number for Comedy Central itself is 212-767-8600.

1.09)  What's with all the crossdressing? 

  From mmr@u.washington.edu (Alexandria Kuvelinski):
  
  The Kids tried to have women in the troupe but the womens' careers took
  off too quickly and they would go solo.  Feeling that they were missing
  out on the majority of comic premises (relationships, etc) they decided
  to play the womens' parts themselves.  You will notice that some
  actresses do appear in more than one sketch when they are available. 
  The cross-dressing is not for the comedic effect of men in drag.  The
  Kids do their best to portray female characters with as much depth and
  character as any other role and try to put the focus on the characters
  and not the men in dresses.

1.10)  Are any of the Kids gay?

  Does it really matter?  But for the curious...
  
  In a January 94 _Village Voice_ article ("La Dulce Musto"), Micheal 
  Musto writes:
  
  One is gay (Scott)
  One is bi
  One is curious
  One is a prick tease
  and One is married (Dave)
  
  [Note:  actually both Dave and Kevin are now married.]

1.11)  How old are the Kids?  What are the vital statistics of the Kids?

  From suburton@u.washington.edu (M.S. Burton),
  and PBBP24A@prodigy.com (Ed Johnson-Ott) by way of HMPU35B@prodigy.com 
  (Gordon Dymowski):
  
  Foley, Dave. b. Jan. 4, 1963?  m. Tabatha (Dec. 31, 1991); 
                                 1 s. Ned (Dec. 25, 1992)
  
  Born in Toronto. Watched a lot of TV. Dropped out of a Toronto
  alternative high school and did stand-up. Met Kevin at an Improv class
  given by Second City. Worked with him as movie house ushers. At 22 was
  cast as the lead in "High Stakes" ("confusingly edited and crudely
  directed"--Toronto Globe and Mail) but did not become overnight
  success.  Now poised to become an International Hearthrob due to his
  starring role as 'Chris' in "It's Pat".
  
  McCullough, Bruce. b. 1961?
  
  Born in Edmonton, raised in Calgary. ("I was a moody kid. Now I'm a
  moody adult") Split his time between playing bass guitar in bands and
  comedy. In '81 started going to TheatreSports improv, and met Mark.
  Still plays his guitar, and has directorial ambitions.
  
  McDonald, Kevin. b. May 16, 1962. m. Tiffany (1993)
  
  Born in Montreal (1 older sister) to Hamilton and Sheila. An asthmatic
  TV watching kid. Father a dental-equiptment salesman ("oh yeah, Daddy
  drank") who was transferred to Burbank for a year or so when Kevin was
  small. The family then moved back to Toronto. Kevin was a drama major
  at Humber College, but got kicked out because he was only good at the
  comedy. ("I always thought I'd be Montgomery Clift, which is weird,
  because I was 250 pounds") Enrolled in an improv class and met Dave.
  Plays guitar, writes songs and sings occasionaly with his wife. Hoping
  to cut a record soon.
  
  [Kevin's wife is in the sketch "Girlfriends Leave the Country", where 
  Kevin and Dave party around the world.  She plays Kevin's girlfriend.]
  
  McKinney, Mark. b. June 26 (or 16?), 1961(?) (or 1960?)
  
  Son of a Candian diplomat, born in Ottawa but spent his childhood in
  Trinidad with his brother (Nick, another comedian) and sister. He went
  to Paris at 10, then Washington D.C. at 13, where he was put in
  boarding school.  Went to college, lasted two semesters before dropping
  out and in Calgary met Bruce while doing TheatreSports. It appears he
  is about to be sucked once again into the evil vortex called SNL.
  
  Thompson, Scott. b. June 12, 1959
  
  Born in North Bay, raised in Brampton. Second oldest of four
  hockey-playing boys. At 19, he got into an educational program called
  Canada World Youth and got to spent some time in the Philipines. When
  he got back he enrolled in acting at York University, but was requested
  to leave in his third year for being disruptive. Had jobs as a security
  job (fired for being found asleep in the company president's
  office...naked) waiter (fired for being mouthy), bartender (mouthy).
  Tried improv and stand up, and realized that whatever he did, he would
  have to do it on his own terms, as a gay comedian. In '84 saw the KITH.
  He sings he dances he acts he does comedy -- who knows what could
  happen.
  
  Paul Bellini's B-day:  Sep 12
  
  =====
  
  There seems to be a lot of family history explored in various Kids'
  sketches, and an almost-too-close-to-the-bone examination of their
  respective family dynamics can be found in the classic sketch "Didja
  ever beat up your dad?"

1.12)  What are the origins of KITH?

  From suburton@u.washington.edu (M.S. Burton):
  
  The chronology goes like this: Bruce and Mark met doing TheatreSports in
  Calgary & started to write/work together. Dave and Kevin met at a
  Toronto Second City Improv class, and while working as Art House movie
  ushers started to write/work together. Both pairs attempted to make it
  on their own; Bruce and Mark as "The Audience", Dave & Kevin (and
  various other comedians) as "KITH". The two pairs meet in Toronto, and
  combine forces in 1984; they work at small clubs during the year as the
  KITH when Scott (who's been trying improv and stand up) approaches
  them. He does several guest spots, and officially joins in January of
  1985. ("They sang me a little welcome song")
  
  About this time Pam Thomas, scouting for SNL, saw them and had them
  audition for Franken & Davis, and that was when Mark and Bruce got
  their stint as writers on the show. They worked SNL, Dave made his
  movie debut with "High stakes" and Scott and Kevin worked with the
  "Second City" touring group. They were re-united in '86 and started
  doing longer shows at clubs. "Lurching Seaward" with Sandra Shamus
  (later the star of her own show, "My boyfriend's back and there's gonna
  be laundry") had early versions of the analysis of comedy sketch, Clem
  @ the Barber Shop, Brad and Tiffany's (later Nina) date, and a long
  sketch/playlet about a bad comedian named Tramouth. "Grave Robbers from
  Hipsville" gave birth to the Dr. Seuss bible. It was in '86 that Lorne
  Michaels finally saw them work as a troupe, and started making plans
  for a TV show. In 1987 he sent them to NY to what was essentially
  Comedy Boot Camp (if you can make it there, etc., etc.) and in 1988
  their HBO special/pilot aired. The series began in 1989.

1.13)  What is the future of KITH?

  The last KITH show ever was taped Wednesday, July 13, 1994.  
  
  The last show was aired on Comedy Central on December 25, 1994.
  
  Mark and Bruce will be acting and/or writing for NBC's Saturday Night Live
  next season.  Bruce has been making short films for SNL.  Mark is
  now a regular cast member and appears in the opening credits.  
  
  Dave starred in the "It's Pat" movie (based on the Saturday 
  Night Live character) as Pat's lover Chris.
  
  Mark's younger brother Nick is on the sketch comedy show "The 
  Vacant Lot", which can be seen on Comedy Central and CBC. 
  
  Brian Hartt may be joining John Stewart's upcoming Paramount show as a
  writer.
  
  See also the next question about a KITH movie (Q1.14).  
  (See "Is there a KITH movie?")
  
  From lisewinter@aol.com (LiseWinter):
  
  Bruce is doing an album for Atlantic Records, featuring his musical
  pieces (probably including "Daves", but the album will be mostly new
  stuff) and his monologues, which he's so good at;  I think it'll be a
  super great album.  He's working on it with Shadowy men and Bobby
  Wiseman (Canadian musician/ex-Blue Rodeo). I think it comes out late
  this year or early next year.  Is everyone as excited about this as I
  am?
  
  Dave Foley may show up in a mid-season replacement sit com thius
  spring...apparently something w/Joe Flaherty.  Don't know anything more
  about it.
  
  Kevin is in the next Nat'L Lampoon movie...don't know the name or the plot.
  
  Bruce begins his SNL films in January,  and his album should be out
  February or March.
  
  Thought you'd be tickled by the following info:  the forthcoming Bruce
  McCulloch album features a piece ABOUT Seattle...it's called "Vigil," and
  it's quite brilliant!  Like most of the stuff on the McCulloch album, 
  it's kind of a monologue, kind of a song...it was inspired by the Kids'
  visit to Seattle in April, when their show there (unfortunately)
  co-incided with the day of the Kurt Cobain vigil...all of the Kids (except
  for Bruce) attended that vigil, by the way...Mark McKinney said that the
  meaning/somberness of the event (the vigil, that is) was somewhat
  dissipated by kids coming up to him and going "I'm crushing your head!"  
  
  From d. brykowski (c/o sportiga@uoguelph.ca (Steve Portigal)):
  
  [Bruce's album] is being recorded at the Gas Station in Toronto, produced 
  by Bob Wiseman (ex-Blue Rodeo, producer of Edie Brickell, Andrew Cash, 
  Bob Snider,...) apparently there are spoken bits, but it's predominantly 
  musical, ala Corky & the Juice Pigs, BNL, Denis Leary. the tracks are 
  pretty low-fi, so I don't know about a major label release. 
  
  From pneumedia@aol.com (Pneumedia):
  
  Here's the latest stuff on the KIDS: They just wrapped up a first draft
  of a movie screenplay tentatively called "The Drug".
  Kevin McDonald is working on a new National Lampoon movie in Toronto. Dave
  Foley moved out to LA to pursue his movie career.
  Mark McKinney is living in New York and prepping for his first season on
  SNL. Bruce just finished the tracks for his album for Atlantic Records
  which should be out in January. Scott Thompson has lying low and is
  currently not working on anything in particular. Paul Bellini just
  finished the tracks for his album and is label shopping. 
  
  From heffay@aol.com (HEFFAY):
  
  Norm Hiscock, former Head Writer of the Kids in the Hall, made his SNL
  debut in the Premiere episode of SNL's 20th Season.  
  
  During the Lexus commercial spoof, the one called the "Enigma" or
  something, about two teams of engineers designing the same car with
  completely different goals in mind and creating a car that's "fast and
  slow" "small but big"  "economical and gas guzzling" etc.   Norm Hiscock
  appeared as one of the engineers.  It wasn't a very funny bit and it went
  too long, but it made me jump up and down anyway because Norm got a fair
  amount of screen time.
  
  From barbcarr@delphi.com (Barbara A. Carr):
  
  Brian Hartt (one of the Daves that Bruce knows) seems to be a writer on 
  the Jon Stewart Show. He's also appeared in a few sketches on the show.
  
  From PBBP24A@prodigy.com (Ed Johnson-Ott):
  
  Paul Bellini is leaving for Halifax today (Dec 4) for three months to
  begin his new job as a writer for a Canadian comedy program titled "This
  Hour Has 22 Minutes."  
  
  From PBBP24A@prodigy.com (Ed Johnson-ott):
  
  Bruce's album, "Shame Based Man", is tentatively scheduled for 
  release March 14 on Atlantic Records. It will include "Door's fan" from 
  
  Today I had the treat of getting to hear Bruce McCulloch's upcoming album.
   Filled with mostly spoken word over music pieces (ala King Missile), 
  Bruce does sing occassionally. The album, tentatively titled "Shame Based 
  Man", is tentatively scheduled for release on March 14 on Atlantic. It's 
  funny, odd and a must-have! Here's a track listing, with a few notes and 
  the time for each piece.
  Track 1: Grade 8 (Bruce remembers the first time he dropped acid, track 
  time 2:56), 2: Stalking (Stalker meets and chats with stalkee-yep, it's 
  the piece from the Dec 17 SNL, time 2:10), 3: Al Miller (portrait of one 
  of Bruce's pals, 2:27), 4: Heroin Pig Radio (first in a series of very

  for anybody. 
  
  From barbcarr@delphi.com (Barbara A. Carr):
  
  Phil Hartman was on Letterman tonight [5 Jan 1995].  He said that he and 
  Dave Foley taped a pilot for NBC last month tentatively titled News Radio. 
  He also said that NBC has decided to pick it up (hopefully for the 
  fall, but he didn't really specify. It could be a mid-season replacement
  thing). But we'll get to see I guess two Kids on a regular basis (with Mark 
  on SNL), or is it two and a half (counting Bruce's short films?)
  
  From PBBP24A@prodigy.com (Edward Johnson-ott):
  
  To all,
  I've been given permission to pass on this info on the condition that I 
  don't reveal the source. The source is someone close to the troupe, and I 
  fully trust this individual. Here's the news:
  1. Scott Thompson just signed on to join the cast of The Larry Sanders 
  Show, the brilliant satire on HBO!!!!! The contracts were JUST signed and 
  he'll the cast when it returns for it's next season (the show is in 
  hiatus right now). I don't know what his role will be.
  2. Look for another KITH tour in late Spring, probably on the West Coast.
  3. Thursday, Feb 2, the entire troupe did a reading of the entire script 
  for "The Drug" in L.A. for Paramount executives. Lorne Michaels read the 
  stage directions while all five KITH members read their parts. The green 
  light hasn't been given yet, but my source was there for the reading and 
  said the script is dark, funny and overall brilliant! Mark is the focal 
  character, a Darrill-type scientist involved in giving a Prozac -like 
  drug to a depressed small town. Some of the lesser known KITH characters 
  appear in the script (no Chicken Lady, Sir Simon, etc.-lesser known 
  characters) along with new characters. This has the makings of a terrific 
  film!
  That is literally everything I know right now. I'll pass on more as I 
  learn more.

1.14)  Is there a KITH movie?

  There may be a KITH movie by Summer 1995.
  
  Shortly after the last taping, the Kids went to a retreat in Huntsville,
  Ontario, Canada for two weeks to write the script and get drunk with
  teenagers.
  
  From lisewinter@aol.com (LiseWinter):
  
  The KITH movie is going to be called "The Drug," and its (basic) plot 
  is going to revolve around Prozac.  Seriously.  It may feature familiar 
  characters, but that won't be what the thing revolves around.  It'll be 
  a linear, narrative film with a plot and everything, not a collection 
  of sketches or anything like that. 
  
  From PBBP24A@prodigy.com (Ed Johnson-Ott):
  
  Here's a little teaser about the KITH movie. A source inside the troupe
  reports the film will be about the effects of a Prozac-like drug on a
  small town. The troupe at this point plans to use only news characters for
  the film. A rough draft exists, the script will be written this fall, and
  filming is scheduled for spring.

1.15)  Is there a KITH book?

  There will be soon.  The trade paperback will be titled "Memos From AT&Love: 
  The Kids In The Hall Companion" by Ed Johnson-Ott with Barbara Carr and 
  Jennifer Gardner. It will contain an episode guide with annotations from 
  troupe members, a history of the troupe, individual profiles, sections on 
  memorable recurring characters, transcripts of censored sketches, 
  KITH on-line, trivia, etc. 

1.16)  Is there a KITH zine?

  Yes!
  
  From BARBCARR@delphi.com (Barbara Carr):
  
  MEMOS FROM A.T.&LOVE, is a Kids in the Hall fanzine that got started
  early this year [1994]. At present it only exists in paper form, but will 
  be expanding to e-journal form (and possibly a page on the Web, but not for
  a while). At present, if you are interested in getting a copy of the
  zine, e-mail me at BARBCARR@DELPHI.COM with your snail mail address.
  I'll put you on the mailing list. The zine is free, but contributions
  are accepted. Your artistic, creative contributions are even more
  graciously accepted. --Barbara Carr, editor.

1.17)  Is there a KITH videotape?

  Yes, there is a "The Best of The Kids in the Hall" two-hour videotape 
  available for rental in some areas.  This tape contains the original
  HBO pilot, which is rarely (if ever) broadcast!  It also contains a 
  first season episode and two episodes from season 3.  Here are the
  episodes from the HBO pilot on the tape [from kurts@infinet.com 
  (Kurt Schroeder)]:

      Cabbage Head:  You gonna sleep with me or what?

  new price:
  
  It is available for purchase from Movies Unlimited at 800-523-0823.

1.19)  Is there a Usenet newsgroup for discussing KITH?

  Yes.  It's "alt.tv.kids-in-hall".  (It's not alt.tv.kids-in-the-hall
  because of a 14-character limit in newsgroup hierarchy component names.)
  Not all sites carry alt.* groups.  If you are missing alt.tv.kids-in-hall, 
  contact your local news administrator.  Thanks to bsc7@kanga.ins.cwru.edu
  (Brad Corsello) for originally proposing this newsgroup!

1.20)  Where can I find KITH stuff on the Internet?

  There is a KITH WWW page by jmbell@use.usit.net (Jonathan Bell).
  Currently there is not much there, so if you have any cool
  KITH stuff (i.e. pictures, sound files, whatever) please submit them.
  The URL is:

1.21)  Is there KITH info on other online services?

  Yes.  Here is where it is:
  
  [Please correct this info if wrong and email me with new info]
  
  CompuServe:  GO EDRIVE, Library 1 (Backlot/Programs),
               or use keywords KIDS and HALL
  America Online:  ???? anyone know how ????
  Delphi:  no KITH forum; try GO ENTERTAINMENT, or access alt.tv.kids-in-hall
  Genie:  ???? anyone know how ????
  Prodigy:  <JUMP> to "COMEDY BB" [the comedy bulletin boards]
  eWorld:  ???? anyone know how ????
  ???? others ???? anyone know ????
  
  If you are not on CompuServe, you can still get (printed) copies 
  of articles written by Sarah Chauncey (a 3 part article covering the 
  history of KITH, bios of all performers and writers, birth of famous 
  sketches, etc).  Send a self-addressed stamped manila envelope to the 
  following address: Sarah Chauncey, VH-1/MTV Networks, 1515 Broadway,
  New York, NY 10019.  Include about $1.29 in postage.  

1.22)  Are there "official" names for KITH sketches?

  Official (canonical) sketch names can sometimes be found in the credits
  of the show when an alternate director credit is given.  Also, some
  sketches have "offical" names that are given at the beginning of the
  sketch (for example, "Chalet 2000").  Official sketch names are listed
  in the sketch list in Part 2 of this FAQ followed by an asterisk "*".
  All other sketch names in this version of the FAQ are made up.  However, 
  information from various sources about official sketch names and spellings 
  will be collated and compiled into future versions of this FAQ.

1.23)  Who does the opening theme for KITH?  Do they have a 
       cassette/CD?  Do they do the bumper music and other music 
       in the show as well?

  The opening theme is by the group Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet.
  Shadowy Men on A Shadowy Planet are Brian Connelly (guitar, keyboards,
  backing vocals), Reid Diamond (bass, lead vocals), and Don Pyle (drums,
  backing vocals).  Reid and Brian have known Bruce since high school;
  Reid even played in a band with Bruce at one point. Reid and Brian had
  a band in Calgary, it broke up, they came to Toronto and Reid joined a
  band (Crash Kills Five, 1 single, 1980) with Don Pyle. In 1984 the three 
  coalesced into the Men.
  
  The theme is called "Having an Average Weekend" on the release "Savvy
  Show Stoppers" (Cargo Records, 1990).  The version on "Savvy Show
  Stoppers" is NOT the exact same version as used on the show.  The 
  KITH theme on this release is not mixed as well as that heard on the 
  show; the lead guitar riff tends to fade into the background.  All but
  one of the tracks on this release are instrumentals similar to the KITH
  theme in style.  From the liner notes:  "This savory selection of
  socially irrelevant songs is a compilation of seven inch records
  released on our own Jetpac label in Canada."
  
  Brian does the artwork on the albums (and the "30 second story"
  puppets), and Don painted the Fine Ham on the cover of "Dim the
  lights..." According to Reid, the singer on "Bim Bam Baby" is "George
  from a comedy duo named Al + George".  [From Matt_D._McMillan@tvo.org 
  (Matt D. McMillan): "Al & George broke up and his full name is George 
  Westerholm he's still doing music."]
  
  SMOASP also do the bumper music (the music played right before/after
  commercials) and some of the music used in the show itself.  One can
  usually tell it's SMOASP because of their distinctive twangy guitar 
  style.  
  
  The band also has an alter-ego, the "Chateau Amen" -- a happening trio 
  available for weddings, bar mitzvahs... 1992 EP Just married (Jet Pac)
  
  Some singles and several t-shirts available at shows; or at this address:

1.24)  Is there a KITH fan club?  Where can I write the Kids?

  ???? anyone know of how ????

1.25)  Is KITH merchandise available?

  From heffay@aol.com (Heffay):
  
  If you want the order form, write to:
  
  K.I.T.H. Merchandising 
  P.O. Box 73, Station P 
  Toronto, Ontario 
  M5S 2S6
  
  If you just wanna order without the form, maybe I can help.   It looks
  like this.
  
  T-SHIRTS-- L or XL 
  Kids in Dresses or Kids with Guns 
  CAN$18.95, US$15.95
  
  BASEBALL CAPS (very high quality, btw) 
  Black or White 
  CAN$ 15.95, US$12.95
  
  Once you've got your sub-total, add shipping and handling 
  
  Ontario Residents $3.00 
  Other Canada $4.00 
  USA $3.00
  
  Then Ontario residents have to add 8% PST, Other Canadian residents add
  7% GST, and no tax for USA residents.
  
  I hope that does it.  Print that out and you can't go wrong.  I have to
  say I'm very happy with the stuff they sent me.  High quality shirts and
  hats, at a much better price than at the concerts.
  
  And there's nothing like having the supermarket checker look at your
  t-shirt and say, "What are the kids in the hall?"  And you say, "A
  comedy troupe."  And he says, "I've never heard of them.  They must be
  really good." (true story)
  
  From schen@a1.mec.mass.edu (Sarah Chen):
  
  You can also call up (24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week) for a free catalog
  and order form from K.I.T.H. Merchandise.  Their number is 
  (416) 201-6464.  They recently updated their catalog.  So, in addition to 
  the items that Heffay mentioned, they are selling:
  
  -"Logo splash" t-shirt (white shirt w/ a small KitH logo in red on the front, 
  and a bigger logo with a royal blue splash in the background on the back)

  -Embroidered t-shirts  (black shirt w/ white logo, ash grey w/ black logo, 
  purple w/ white logo, or navy w/ red logo)
  one size fits all (XL)      $16.95 US, $19.95 Can
  
  From temptanya@aol.com (TempTanya):
  
  If you read your Rolling Stone magazine you will see an ad for kids T's
  and baseball caps in the classifieds.  There are two T shirts at 15.95
  each and caps at $12 plus $3 S&H.  The address is PO box 73 Station 'P'
  Toronto M5S 2S6.  I like the Kids in Dresses T shirt personaly.  Good luck
  
  From schen@a1.mec.mass.edu (Sarah Chen):
  
  I wrote to the CBC Boutique requesting a list of KitH merchandise that is
  currently available for sale.  They basically have the same items to
  sell as K.I.T.H. Merchandising:  T-shirt with the Kids in dresses or the
  Kids with guns, plain t-shirts (in black or ash grey) with the "Kids in
  the Hall" logo embroidered (1"x3") on left of chest.  All t-shirts come
  in sizes Large or X-Large.  They cost $20 Can. or $16 U.S. each.  Also,
  they sell baseball caps (with the logo) and each costs $16 Can. or $13
  U.S.  A tax of 7% GST (for Canadian residents) will be added to the
  order.  A shipping and handling charge will be added as well.
  
  The CBC Boutique can be contacted at (416) 205-8997 bet. 10:00 am and
  6:00 pm (Toronto time), Monday through Friday.  Orders can be placed by
  using your Visa or Mastercard.

1.26)  Where and when and how often is KITH taped?

  From kurts@infinet.com (Kurt Schroeder):
  
  KITH used to be taped once a month on Wednesday and Saturdays at 
  CBC Studio 7 in Toronto.  They did two shows each night.  Since July
  13, 1994, there have been no tapings.

1.27)  Can I get tickets for a KITH taping?

  Not anymore.  There will be no more tapings, unfortunately. 
  
  But see:
  (See "Why will there be no more KITH shows?")
  (See "Are there KITH concert tours?  How can find out where/when?")
  (See "Is there a KITH movie?")
  (See "What is the future of KITH?")

1.28)  Why will there be no more KITH shows?

  From lisewinter@aol.com (LiseWinter):
  
  KITH was NOT, I repeat, NOT cancelled.  The lads voluntarily chose to stop
  taping the show after five seasons to pursue other projects, some of which
  involve the group KITH, and some of which don't.  As Scott Thompson said
  at the last taping -- when the show ended and they all come out to take a
  bow and thank the audience -- "We all thought this season was going to
  suck, but it turned out to be really good."  

1.29)  Are there KITH concert tours?  How can find out where/when?

  KITH toured the east coast of North America in December 1994.  
  
  From mmr@u.washington.edu (Alexandria Kuvelinski):
  
  YES!  I saw them in Seattle and they were fantastic.  Seeing them live
  with hundreds of other fans is an experience no one should miss.
  
  From trevor@london.myra.com (Trevor Murphy):
  
  KITH did a cross Canada tour in the late summer of 1993.  I saw them here
  in Victoria, BC.

1.30)  What other movies/TV shows/plays have the Kids been in?

  From jmbell@use.usit.net (Jonathan Bell):
  
  Someone was commenting that they thought Bruce was in one of the Trek
  movies. I saw The Wrath of Kahn a few days ago and noticed what appeared
  to be Bruce at the end saying, "Sir, the mains are back online." Neither
  he nor any of the other extras are credited. (Scotty's nephew is but
  that's because his role was butchered in editing.) 
  
  Mostly from suburton@u.washington.edu (M.S. Burton):

       as a presenter.
  
  En masse they have been on Good Morning America, the Joan Rivers show,
  Comic Relief, MTV, won several Geminis and had two Cable Ace nominations
  for series writing ('89 & '90). Both Dave and Scott have shown up on
  Conan O'Brien's show, and Scott pops up occasionally on Canadian video
  shows. He also had a chance to flirt with Coach Don Cherry on Ralph
  Benmergui's show...
  
  From neoncap@netcom.com (Tyler K. Wong):
  
  just wanted to mention that a few of the kids showed up in an snl
  sketch during the randy quaid/a. michael hall season(s).  There was
  that "you bet your finger" sketch, and a couple of the kids were
  shown as "past winners".
  
  unfor, i can't help with the exact kids used.

  For fans of Buddy, there is an independent Canadian film doing the film 
  festival circuit called "Super 8 1/2".  It's directed by Bruce LaBruce 
  and is basically about himself, a former porn star who's the subject of 
  an "art film" documentary.  "Buddy" appears in one segment, interviewed 
  as someone who has worked with Bruce in the past.  It's a hilarious bit.
  
  From davidson@mercury.interpath.net (Drew Davidson):
  
  Part of the "Odds" video video can be seen in the Beavis & Butthead 
  episode "Naked Colony".  When the Kids come on, Beavis and Butthead 
  say:
     Butthead:  These guys seem pretty cool. [referring to Mark and Kevin]
     Beavis:    Yeah!  Yeah!  Heh heh heh.  If I was, like, old enough to 
                drink, and I was in a bar and I saw these guys, I'd sit
                down next to 'em and say, "Hey how's it going man?" Heh heh.
     Butthead:  Yeah.  Huh huh huh.  And then they'd kick your ass.  Huh huh.
  
  From nirayo@csd.uwm.edu (Rob Hale)
  
  towards the end of Alex Cox's film "Repo Man" there is a shot of two guys 
  sitting by a truck talking about the book "Diaretic: The power of matter 
  over mind" if you look closely i swear that the blond guy with a 
  moustache is none other than Scott Thompson.  I didn't see a listing in 
  the credits so i can't say for sure but it really looks and sound like him.

     videotape, friend, one of the Kids, your god Spot) if possible.
  == Please indicate if you *don't* want to be quoted verbatim. 
     Submissions may be simply cut and pasted into the FAQ; please indicate
     if you don't want this to happen for some reason (you will be given
     credit of course for verbatim quotes used).
