Unfortunately I can remember this show. Jeff Ltd. was a terrible show with above all a terrible performance by the lead character that is what I remember most of all about this show. The plots all involved him trying to trick people into giving him money or trying to trick women into sleeping with him or usually both of those things, all he did was con people and it always backfired because he was very bad at it and thought he was a lot smarter than everyone else when he wasn't. The ideas were only half baked and none of the jokes were funny because the performances were so bad and it was just badly written, you could see exactly where everything was going. I am glad this bad show was booted off the airwaves.
I've watched several episodes of Jeff Ltd., because it can take time for a new series to find its rhythm. Honestly, though, this show started out bad and just got worse.
On the plus side, the look of the show is very slick and professional, but that's not necessarily an asset to comedy anyway. But overall, the characters are dull, passionless, and the tone is too cool and cynical to let any of its lowbrow humour work. It's very hard to imagine a group of TV professionals sitting in a room watching this show and saying, yep, that's funny, that works. Because it really, really doesn't.

This show was garbage, I still remember when I finally realized that it was actually cancelled that I was so happy I actually did a little dance in my living room.
Jeff Limited was such a pathetic show, I just wrote a review for Comedy Inc which is probably even worse, and there are a lot of terrible Canadian comedy television shows, but Jeff Limited still stands out as one of the worst.
How do so many awful shows get made here? Jeff Ltd was on at the same time as another show called The Jane Show that was also terrible and I thought those two should just get married, and then Jeff and Jane could both get off my TV forever.
I hated this show!

I think this show is funny, smart and provocative. The humor works on many levels from exceptional clowning to very clever wordplay. It pokes fun at our culture, sexual stereotypes and politics. Each episode is a new adventure. The character Jeff is a misguided man of which there are plenty in this culture. It's funny to see that kind of character's antics, with the bad boy charm, pay for his mischief. How great to see women who can walk and talk and look hot. Canadian TV has suffered from mediocrity, copying, trying to please all with pablum. I think Jeff Ltd has an edge that makes it great and stand out.
I have noticed that negative threads about this show have been started by people with hater and devil in their user names. Named appropriately. 'More stupider' is bad grammar Mr. hater devil.

I believe this was a vanity project that was the result of people being afraid to say no. I think Jeff Seymour must have a lot of money and time because everything he touches seems to be fake and praising him for some attribute he wishes he had (check his wikipedia for example)
The "fish donuts" thing seemed to be the premise that the writers were either most proud or required to include into the script and it's incredibly cringe.
This isn't a "so bad it's good" situation either like you have with The Room, this is just straight up bad.
If you want some bad Canadian TV that's sometimes fun I suggest looking at Made In Canada (known in the US as the Industry) or The Newsroom (both these shows have other, more famous, shows with the same name)
