Hatching, Matching, & Dispatching

I've never written a review before, but after watching 'Hatching, Matching and Dispatching' on Amazon Prime I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this wonderful, Canadian gem! Mary Walsh is superb ,(as usual), and Susan Kent as 'Darlene' was excellent! If you're not averse to foul language, un-PC, and sometimes crude-humour, give this show a try. I had a lazy day, all by myself, and binge-watched on the weekend; I genuinely laughed right out-loud every episode.

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.

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.

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.

HMD is (was) one of the funniest shows I've had the pleasure of watching. Perhaps my view is a little distorted as I am from Newfoundland. Nevertheless I started watching this show with the expectation that it was going to be terrible as I generally do not enjoy the comedy of Mary Walsh. I was shocked at how outlandishly funny and refreshing the show was. It was clearly a distorted representation of what Newfoundland life is all about – and it is a monster hit in my opinion. This is hands down high tier (albeit low brow) Canadian comedy show compared to classics like Kids in the Hall and This Hour has 22 Minutes.

How can CBC cancel a show like this, but push on with the dribble such as Corner Gas?
