KITH and CBS
Steve Green
Well it looks like the Kids in the Hall and CBS have come to their
first disagreement. CBS is refusing to show the Surf Cops sketch.
This is the sketch where Scott Thompson plays an actor who finishes a
show and then goes to pick up a male prostitute. At the end of the
sketch, Scott is lying in state at his funeral and one of the mourners
says something like "I heard he died of AIDS" and the corpse answers
"It was cancer."
I'm actually kind of surprised that it took CBS this long to find a
sketch that they would not show. The other strange thing is that this
sketch is almost two years old.
What do you think?

Not the most brilliantly funny sketch, but still quite good. Can I see
why CBS doesn't like it. Certainly. However, that is TAME compared to
the other stuff out there. "Naked For Jesus", The guy who start screwing
his best friends wife on the dining table, "The Affair" (brilliant) or
any of Buddy's sketches should offend the hell out of CBS. And they are
picking on this one? Very strange.
Well, we all knew it would be an interesting marriage....now we get to
see how long it lasts.

Background
----------
_Going to Extremes_ was the short-lived ABC series created by the team of
Falsey & Brand (St. Elsewhere, Northern Exposure) with Frank South (Melrose
Place). The show made its run from September 1992 through January 1993,
when because of its poor showing in the ratings, the show was taken off the
air.
It is the story of the students and educators at Croft University medical
school, based in Jantique. Jantique is a fictitious island (really Jamaica)
located in the Caribbean. The majority of the students attend because they
were unable to obtain acceptance into a school in the U.S., so many tend to
transfer.
Cast of Characters (alphabetically by actor's name)
---------------------------------------------------
Cheryl Carter (Erika Alexander)
Cheryl is one of the new students to the school. She is one of the best
students at Croft academically, but has a hard time adjusting to living in
squalor in Jantique. Originally, she is from New York.
Dr. Alice Davis (June Chadwick)
The insatiable professor of internal medicine from Oxford who has an
unusual outlook on life. She prefers to control all her relations with men
and does not believe in love.
Dr. Henry Croft (Roy Dotrice)
The founder of Croft University. Croft is an outspoken individual who
became a multi-millionaire ($55 million) from a patent for a joint
replacement system. He has since moved to Jantique, bought a resort, and
converted it into the Croft University.
Kim Selby (Camilo Gallardo)
Kim is the "zen" character in the show. He lives at the house with the
other students, but fits in with the society very well. He can often be
found performing Tai Chi or philosophizing.
Kathleen McDermott (Joanna Going)
Kathleen is slightly older than most of the other students, having
pursued a career in journalism after college. After tiring of writing the
"advice to the lovelorn" column for the local paper, she decided to seek a
change and apply to med school. She has lost many ties with her home and
is open to the new society and embraces it quickly. She is from Minnesota.
Alex Loren (Daniel Jenkins)
Alex is the happy-go-lucky member of the group. He has come to Jantique
because he figured that if he is going to get a second rate medical
education, it might as well be on an island paradise. He is from Chicago.
Dr. Jack Van De Weghe (Charles Keating)
An Australian professor of anatomy whose charismatic ways win him the
student's respect as well as many women.
Charlie Moran (Andrew Lauer)
Charlie is the insecure student of the group who live in the house on the
shore. Though he spends most of waking hours studying (and most of his
sleeping hours worrying about it), Charlie's academic performance usually
leaves him on the verge of flunking. He is from Worcester, Massachusetts.
Dr. Michael Norris (Carl Lumbly)
A native of Jantique who has returned to the island as the Dean of
Croft U. and also a doctor of pediatrics. He graduated from Johns Hopkins
University and has an ex-wife and son (Jeffrey) living in the United
States. Dr. Norris also runs a free medical clinic where the students are
required to put in some time.
Colin Midford (Robert Duncan McNeill)
Colin is the cynical student who has been attending Croft for quite some
time. He has constantly been attempting to transfer to a state-side
school, but without any luck. He is from Vermont.
Recurring Characters
--------------------
Solomon (Stafford Ashani)
The proprietor of the local food establishment which the characters
frequent. He is a difficult person to know and is particularly callous to
outsiders.
Ben Harrison (Gil Bellows)
Ben is a rejected student who shows up one semester after our regular cast
and manages to finagle his way into the university. He is an army veteran of
Desert Storm.
Desmond (Christopher Daley)
A native boy who befriends Charlie but whose patois is rather
unintelligible.
Delia (Leonie Forbes)
The maid who comes with the house that the five students are renting.
Delia is her professional name, her given name is Cherish.
Roger (Delroy Lindo)
A native who befriends Kathleen.
Carolyn Pierson (Kathleen McNenny)
A country girl from Wisconsin who comes to Croft University and woos Alex
away from the clutches of Dr. Davis. She eventually gets her acceptance to
the University of Texas and transfers out of Croft University (and away from
Alex).
Nuey (Reginald "Jah Steve" Stephenson)
A mysterious Rasta drummer who disappeared into the jungle years ago, and
who now holds mythical status with the Jantiquans. He periodically reveals
himself to Charlie, much to Charlie's consternation.
Sarah (Pauline Stone)
The nurse at the clinic.
Beth Walters (Marina Taitt)
One of the workers in the school's library.
