Men with Brooms

This is funny stuff. Not a smutty joke to be had and it is genuinely funny. I wish they had made more episodes. The voiceover from Paul Gross only makes it even funnier. The women aren't love interests and the guys aren't obsessed with chasing women. Occasionally there is some curling too!

I think the good reviews must be by crew members or the show's stars because this show was terrible, flopped very hard and was canceled right quick. Not only was the show bad and not funny, with a terrible cringe worthy cast, it is just basically a very bad mistake to make a TV show version of a movie from like a decade earlier that also was pretty much a flop (even though it had a great cast), especially with a totally different cast (that is much worse). Huge mistake and bad show, was glad to see it go.

This show was just a terrible idea and also was terrible in how it was executed. Taking an independent Canadian movie from years ago that was not great or successful in the first place then turning it into a cheaper, even more watered down version without any of the good, big name actors, that is just an exercise in hopeless futility. This was a terrible concept that had no hope which then also was given little to no effort. Doomed to failure as it should have been.

Sorry, I've got to disagree, this is far and away the best Canadian comedy on network TV today - way better than Dan for Mayor or Hiccups *shudder*! It's fresh and amusingly funny in its portrayal of small-town Canada - which is not a lame excuse for anything, but rather a genuine pulse on the heartland. I found it neither elitist nor dumbed down, but relatably funny! By touching on social trends like vegetarianism, they're using comedy and comedic ignorance to open up public discourse and understanding - not mockery. Also, the show invites characters of different races into the fray without defining those characters by their race which is so refreshing! Every character is a character, and entertaining ones too, not playing up racial difference for cheap laughs! The cast does a solid job overall and the lead, Brendan Gall, has great comic timing. He's got a definite Seth Rogen vibe going' on. And I'm totally digging Paul Gross' narration. It improves the show much in the same way Ron Howard's did for Arrested Development. The self-conscious, self-referential asides to the audience play for some of the show's best laughs! Oh, and for the record, Paul Gross hasn't lost a step haha Love that guy!

The only thing I can say to those reading this or checking up on this series. Avoid this show like the plague and let it die out fast. This show is just sad and bad on all levels. Paul Gross does nothing but put out garbage now. Sad, cause I used to be such a big fan. The acting is low level, the voice over during the episodes are better left out as it seems to only tell me what I already am aware of making its viewers just feel dumber than they already do for having tuned in. The vegetarian jokes are very tiresome as people as a society have grown used to the fact of this fast growing lifestyle some (not me) choose. Having the Rocko Jocko meatatarian making it "gay" not in so many words is insensitive and just immature on the level lower than that of an ignorant high schooler. I found the show to have racist undertones as well as sexist ones, which when delivered tastefully could be funny, sure. But this is something they fail at miserably, making their characters look like ignorant, backwood rednecks instead. Don't give me that small-town mentality stuff either, it's a lame excuse for stupid, embarrassing behavior.
