Because of the Olympics I'm going into withdrawal over this show. For those who haven't watch it yet, it's a new mini-series from The Kids in the Hall, but instead of a sketch show it's a bizarre murder-mystery set in the small Ontario town of Shuckton. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the dark humor. CBC had all of the episodes online, though it might not work in other countries: http://www.cbc.ca/kidsinthehall/

To help me get over the wait, I'd love to hear some theories about who the actual killer might be...

Ahoy matey! Here there be spoilers!

Marilyn seems like an obvious choice since she had reason to kill her husband (he was a jerk) and also Heather Weather once she found out about the affair. But that also seems a little too neat. The TV reporter also has reason to off Heather, but no apparent reason to kill the mayor.

Also, which Kid do you think should get MVP? Dave Foley is really great as the not-so-bereaved widow. Watching him I forget that it's Dave (or even that it's a guy) he's just so good at creating a new character (though all of the guys are good at playing their different roles).

This show is fun if you're a Kids in the Hall fan (which I am!).

But I completely miss it when it airs (besides the hilarious first episode). I'm planning on playing catch up online sometime...it's the best way to watch something like this. So I'll keep my impression on who the killer is until I watch a few more.

The best Kid? I completely underestimated Kevin McDonald's hilarity factor! Or maybe I've just forgotten because he's been off tv for so long. Nothing against Dave who's brilliant...but Kevin gets the MVP. Heck...they're all MVPs...can I do that? Yes...yes, I can!

Wow, that's amazing! I love Kids in the Hall! I used to watch them when I was little. I don't think I can play the web video here in the US, but I will have to track it down elsewhere. :D
