Within a week, we have binged both seasons of this show. I loved the cast and the kids are great. The stories are nothing new but still funny. Overall, thisnshow should of been on at least another year or two. How shows like this die after a season or two, but How I met Your Mother and Mom lived on forever. Mom is still on somehow. Either way, give this show a chance. It is raunchy a lot but it has heart, as well. Give it a shot.
Clever writing. Good characters, Brisk pacing. No annoying laugh track. Very promising. John Doyle of the Globe and Mail" got it right on this one: "There's a lot going on and, at the same time, nothing. Seed touches lightly on gay marriage, non- traditional families and kids who are troubled by their parents and school.
If there's a theme, it's that everybody just gets along, sometimes with helpful advice from the village idiot, a character who is untainted by the neuroses of being grown-up and burdened by middle-class mores.
A lot depends on Korson (who has a lot of theatre experience and a few small TV and film roles), and he's superb as the immature Harry, who has a natural sense of right and wrong and a bizarre brand of common sense. He's in almost every scene and, in the two episodes I watched, doesn't wear out his welcome.
The series was created by newcomer Joseph Raso and developed by Raso and Mark Farrell (also a producer and writer on the show), the latter being a 22 Minutes and Corner Gas veteran. Karen Wentzell, formerly a Trailer Park Boys producer, also produces here. While the production company is Vancouver-based Force Four Entertainment, Seed was made in Halifax using a lot of local talent and it shows – there's that cheerful, expansive weirdness that characterizes Trailer Park Boys, Mr. D and other emanations from that neck of the woods. Thus, Seed is dumb and adorable, and ours."

Seed is the latest in a long line of crappy new Canadian TV comedy series. It is about a guy who ends up getting put in touch with or contacted by kids who he fathered without ever knowing them or their mothers, by being a sperm donor. It's on OK premise but nothing about this show works. The cast is the main problem, almost every cast member is terrible. The lead is unbelievable, unfunny, not even likable. Unlikeable can be really funny for a TV show character but in this case the guy is just so not funny it's infuriating. He can't deliver a joke right to save his life. Not that he has a lot to work with because the writing is also not there. The show just looks cheap and bad and the jokes are terrible and don't work. I don't know how a show like this gets made, how many people looked at this garbage and said "yes" in order for it to go through all the steps of production and actually put on the air? I still have only met 6 people who have even seen this show at all and all of them hated it as much as I do, so how is it still on the air? The IMDb page here even says "not yet released", that is how few people watch or care about this show. And I suspect the lone review here, a glowing rant, is actually written by a cast or crew member or one of their loved ones. This show stinks, stinks, stinks! Crap!
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.

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.
