This show rocked.I found it irritating at first but then one day I actually sat down and watched it and found it very funny.It's a great show about two childhood freinds who go through life from some type of mishap to another.I think the cast was well selected and have a great rapport with each other. And the episodes are priceless too like the santa claus episode and the classic kel the dog episode too.This show is very funny and the intro of keenan and kel hanging out with coolio to them introducing the show in the theatre is cool.It's obvious that some Laurel and Hardy routines with a mix of the old Abbott and Costello show has influenced some aspects of the show as well.It's a great show for kids teens and adults who don't wanna grow up alike.
