Hatching, Matching, & Dispatching

If you can find this show on YouTube or a torrent somewhere, and you're not easily offended, I guarantee you will laugh. It makes Trailer Park Boys look like Downtown Abbey. Super-vulgar, but wonderfully inflected by a non-idiot-male, unique Newfoundland sensibility. I used to watch Codco and thought it was one of the funniest shows on TV. Mary Walsh is behind this one too, and it is OVER THE TOP.

Can't believe that this show was cancelled, I couldn't wait to see the newest episode. I was also hoping to get this released on DVD or even find some poorly ripped video on the internet but I've yet to find it. Troy (Jonny Harris) for me made the show, just seen an episode of Comedy Now with him and all I could think of was getting all the episodes of HMD.

I also ran into Shaun Majumder one night and told him how much I loved the show. He was there with another bunch of the writers and he told me how much fun that they were having making it, it was nice to see how genuine he was.

Maybe I'm a little bias but I truly enjoyed every second of the show and would love to see it again.

I can't understand how undervalued this show is. It's got all sorts of elements of other popular shows (particularly HBO ones like "Six Feet Under" and "Trailer Park Boys") and is outrageously funny. Maybe it's the Newf accents, although they have been kept down to a dull roar. I did spend some educational years in Newfoundland, so perhaps this is why I think it's so brilliant, but it doesn't seem all that impenetrable to me.

Naughtiness was everywhere and it was hilarious. Cedric and the moose literally made my insides lose all air and go giddy with glee over something so disgusting being on our national broadcaster.

Except for Sean Majumder, Mary Walsh and Mark McKinney I wasn't all that familiar with any of the other actors, but they really did such a good job of portraying that dichotomy between expected reactions and actual reactions that kept me in hysterics throughout.

I've been really sorry that this show has disappeared.

You have to appreciate the very off-kilter Newfoundland sense of humour to get this show (and if you're not used to the thick-as-molasses Newfoundland accent, turn on the captions on your TV). It helps if you're from the Rock or if you've been out there (though that's certainly not required).

Personally, I think this show is a work of genius--easily one of the best Canadian comedy creations in years. I actually have to tape it so that I can pause it every few minutes--otherwise, I miss entire sections of dialogue because I'm still laughing at something from the last scene! It's not easy to steal the show from Mary Walsh, but Susan Kent (Darlene) does it effortlessly. I personally think that Shawn Majumder (a funny, funny guy if you've ever seen him do stand-up) is underused in this show, but hey--its still early days, so who knows...

Great stuff, 'bys! More, more, more!!!

I stumbled on this show when spending an evening with my brother and his wife. It was truly hilarious. It is worth your while to watch. Friday isn't the best night for me to watch it but thanks to the miracle of PVR I don't miss a show. The Furey Family story is one I have been enjoying. There is a lot of talent in this show Mary Walsh is comedic genius. Shaun Majumder who has been on This Hour has 22 Minutes, "Royal Canadian Air Farce" "Cedric the Entertainer Presents" and he made an appearance in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. When Troy (Jonny Harris) plays the 'air guitar' version of the chicken dance I almost died laughing. I hope that this show stays on the air.
