A sauce business makes Den history; a spray that packs a bang for its buck and a dress that provokes Dragon disagreement. Plus, two lifelong friends have Kevin playing to a different tune this week.
New tonight: Republic of Doyle on CBC – “The Return of the Grievous Angel”
Review: Death Comes to Town kills
From Denis McGrath at Dead Things on Sticks:
- Death Comes to Town, Parties With Mayor
“I’m happy to report that if you’re a fan of Kids in the Hall, you’re going to enjoy it very, very much. Death Comes To Town isn’t quite like their sketch series of old, but you’ll recognize riffs on many of the group’s iconic characters.” Read more.
In the news: New Kids in the Hall hit and miss
From Jaime Weinman of Maclean’s Magazine:
- Deck The Hall With Kids And Folly
“Just a reminder that tonight is the first episode of the CBC’s Kids in the Hall miniseries, Death Comes to Town. My reaction to the first episode was less rapturous than Raju Mudhar in the Star, but certainly a lot more positive than John Doyle, who hated the whole thing. It sort of resembles a TV miniseries version of Monty Python’s features: a loose story that incorporates a lot of little sketches along the way. I found the connecting story (about a soul-sniffing Grim Reaper who, as the title implies, comes to town) the weakest part, and the sketches, as they always are in these things, are uneven: some hit, some miss.” Read more.
