Quick Draw

Found this gem while scrolling through Hulu and I'm glad that I did. Sad that it only lasted two seasons though. If you haven't seen it, I'd definitely recommend it

I can't get enough of Sheriff Hoyle and his crew of misfit characters.

John Lehr and Nancy Hower have created truly funny show that brings you back to the days of Waiting for Guffman and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Anything can happen and there's a surprise around every corner.

John Lehr's wit and timing keeps you laughing all the way through. In fact it takes more than one viewing to catch them all, they go by so fast. The whole cast riff of each other with equal abandon and have successfully created quirky characters in equally quirky situations. What comes out of there mouths is crazy and sublime. It's fun and witty and fresh all at the same time. A definite must watch.

The show still holds up. This show and Spy are the reason I subscribed to HULU. The improvisation rank up there with Second City and Reno 911. Smart, witty and hilarious. John Lehr a fan since 10 Items or Less. Allison Dunbar her homage to True Lies is brilliant. Why only 2 years? You will be asking the same question.

This has been happening a lot over the last couple years. I stumble on to a show that might still be on the air that I love and that sinking feeling begins is it still being made. This was a crushing blow. How with 8000 streaming channels with more everyday and the fact that past tv shows that were canceled are getting new life how does this not have a spot somewhere. My first thought and the one that makes the most sense is period shows like this being set in the old west are more expensive. The other thing that could happening is that calling it a improvised tv show with only an outline of the story maybe scared people off. I was completely unaware of that aspect of this show and I really can't notice it. These are very talented people with quick minds. It's really sad this is no longer being made and I can't imagine a Family Guy scenario since that revival was based on dvd sales and I don't believe those are made any longer. If you have Hulu watch this show its so good.

No idea what to expect from this, but definitely enjoyably weird.

Basically it's the humour of Curb, Spinal Tap et al transplanted to the Old West.The set up has an Ichibod Crane feel to it, urban educated sheriff brings his city ideas to the backwards west, but it really works. All the cast play it nicely, lots of sharp, deadpan lines, with the undertaker (Bob Clendenin) especially good.

The whole thing has an almost homemade quality to it, which is great. It doesn't feel like anyone tried to get them to soften the edges and it's all the better for it.

Amidst all the bland stuff out there I do hope it lasts.
