Lemme Tell Ya 'Bout White Kids
This weekend the New York Post had a piece on the return of the Kids in the Hall and their much-anticipated-at least by me-"Death Comes to Town" series. Unfortunately, the photo accompanying the article shows American sketch comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U' Know rather than their Canadian ancestors. It's an easy mistake to make, especially considering that both shows are affiliated with IFC, but still, in a time where the paper is under fire for confusing members of ethnic minorities with one another it is nice to know that they also apparently think that all white folks look alike too.
Nowhere close to the biggest mixup I've ever seen:

Damage control
As someone who downloaded each episode of Death Comes To Town as they aired in Canada, I can say your excitement is justified. And that Dave Foley still does drag better than anybody else on the planet.
It is uncanny how Dave in drag makes him a dead ringer for Isabella Rossellini.
The Halloween ep in the first season of News Radio where he puts on Lisa's dress and she's sad that he looks better in it than she does is one of my very favorite moments of teevee ever.
That's pretty much exactly what the KITH looked like, in 1989.
Needs more Scott Thompson.
McKinney, who recently created and starred in the Sundance Channel's 'Slings and Arrows'.
Huh?
Things that happen in Canada don't count.
So technically Joe Carter never hit that home run? SUH-WEEEEEEET!!!
You guys are just getting this now?! Poor sad Americans.
But you're getting it now! And oh, it is good. It is very, very good. (And naughty. I imagined CBC was blushing every time it aired.)
