Storyline

Seed is a single-camera, half-hour comedy following Harry, a likable bachelor and bartender whose previous foray into sperm donation has resulted in offspring he was unaware of - until now. This ill-equipped bachelor finds himself entangled in the lives of his newfound children and their less-than-thrilled families - a lesbian couple and their 9-year-old oddball son, an up-tight, upper-class husband and wife and their rebellious teenage daughter, and an impulsive single woman with a ticking biological clock... pregnant with his child - with whom he'll come to share more than just his DNA.

User Reviews

Promising fresh comedy

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."
