Hatching, Matching, & Dispatching

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.

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.

Some decent laughs. It was more a CBC comedy show for my parents than me and my friends, is a good way I would describe it. Nothing special and really basic comedy but good for what it was, a few laughs here and there and Mary Walsh is always fun.

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.

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?
