I never thought this would happen. But like Cabbage Head, you can’t keep these five guys down. The KiTH are working on a new series for CBC, this time not a sketch show but a sort of mini-series (eight episodes) with a narrative arc. Dave Foley calls it similar, ideawise, to _The League of Gentleman_. (But hopefully funny, heh. In fairness, I only sat through one LoG episode, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to try again.) Could be brilliant, could be awful, but I’m sure it’ll be worth checking out.

[Here’s the article from TheStar.com](http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/546727).

BTW, they might be interested in doing another film. In the above article, Dave mentions one important caveat: they’s probably have to wait until everyone who saw _Brain Candy_ is dead.

Awesome. Hopefully it’ll get shown down here too somehow. And I loved Brain Candy and I’m sure all their fans did too so hopefully they won’t wait too long to do the movie.

I saw their stage show a few months ago. It was life-changing.

Ehhhhhhksellent!

btw, I own _Brain Candy_ on DVD, and saw it in the theatre 2x. That shit cracks me up!

“Where’s your father?”  
“Upstairs masturbating to gay porn again.”  
(from upstairs) “I am not!”
