In many ways the Front Lawn was the start of the New Zealand comedy boom - even though they were as much fringe and music as straight standup.
And now Don McGlashan and Harry Sinclair have reunited for something rather different from their Eighties satire.
Two or three decades on, Don and Harry are combining forces on a TV series aimed at pre-schoolers and their parents. Kiri and Lou boasts an all-star voice cast, and one of the world's great animators - Antony Elworthy of Coraline and Isle of Dogs fame.
But the stars of the show are Harry and Don. Simon Morris chats to them on the line from North America.
The first series of Kiri and Lou launched this week on TVNZ On Demand and on HEIHEI, while an episode plays on TVNZ 2 each weekday at 6:50am.
