Ready or not, the Kids are back.

The TV landscape tends to feel pretty dismal when “Saturday Night Live” is the only sketch comedy game in town. And often that’s the case. Over its four-plus decade run, it certainly has outlasted so many others — from “SCTV” to “In Living Color” to “MADtv” to “Key & Peele” and more — but that doesn’t make it the funniest or most creative. Just the longest standing.

And in a way they haven’t. They broke up as a group sometime after the release of their 1996 film “Brain Candy” — the intense pace their original show meant the work was no longer fun, and by that point they didn’t particularly like each other either — but sometime in the 2000s, they reconnected and started doing live shows again and their instincts as writers and chemistry as performers remains as wonderfully ridiculous as ever.

Amazon has a two-part documentary about the group as well, called “The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks,” which traces their Toronto performing origins through the show’s heyday to the collapse of their collaboration, and it pairs nicely with the show’s reboot. Four of the group’s members grew up in the suburbs.
