Seed

Unfortunately this show was not funny at all. city tv had ads all over the place and it looked like it would be good but it was a serious disappointment to me. kept trying but it didn't get any better and then was canceled fast, probably a smart move. the lead adam korson was the complete wrong choice for this role and the show just was not funny at all.

Harry Dacosta is a single slacker bartender. Nine year old Billy Jones-Krasnoff tracks down Harry as his sperm donor father. His lesbian mothers Michelle Krasnoff and Zoey Jones are over-protective and he's an odd bullied kid. He's attracted to Rose Maybely but she's on her way to the fertility clinic. Instead of paying for the expensive procedure, she tries to have sex with Harry. She discovers that Harry is a lying idiot and goes back to the sperm bank where she gets Harry's sperm anyways. Anastasia Colborne also tracks down sperm donor dad Harry. She's rebelling against her strict psychologist mother Dr. Janet Colborne and brow-beaten father Jonathan Colborne.

This is modern family in an odd way. I think the oddball connections probably throw some people off. It hits on some awkward subjects as comedic fodder. At its core, it's still a traditional family sitcom. It's a very tiny core. Adam Korson has the slacker bit but he needs more likability. The kids are fun and the family dysfunction is funny.

Why are the parents treating him as though he found the kids and infiltrated their lives? That's not what happened at all. This and this alone makes me not like the show.

Seed is a horrendous show. I can't believe it has a 6 out of 10 rating on IMDb. So many ratings of a perfect 10. Makes me suspicious that maybe the show or the network have signed up for a million fake accounts just to make it look like people actually watch and like this show. Have you ever met someone who watches and enjoys this show because I haven't. I have only sat through two full episodes and the start of the third, gave it more than enough chance to stop sucking but it is just a terribly and not funny show. Canadian TV comedies just keep getting worse. Dan for Mayor and Hiccups were awful, Satisfaction and Package Deal are awful, Seed is awful. Maybe we just should stop trying to make comedy TV shows because the networks in Canada obviously can't hack it.

It's a shame that this show was so disappointing because it was a very good idea for a show. The problem is that this show totally falls apart because first of all the acting is terrible, which is the most obvious problem with this show. The actors are very one dimensional and are terrible when it comes to getting across the jokes properly which I admit must be hard.

Working together with that to hurt the show is the bad writing. The characters are not very deep and the lines they are given are not natural sounding or believable, plus the jokes are just not very good at all.

So it is kind of a toss up between the actors not doing a great job and the writers not giving them anything really good to work with. It is one or the other or some combo of both that really hurts this television show.

Like I said it is a real shame because the idea behind this show was very exciting.
