Why you should watch Seed

From Anne T. Donahue of Yahoo:

Why you should be watching ‘Seed’
“Seed,” the Canadian-produced unorthodox family comedy, premiered on Citytv on Feb. 4, but it’s not too late to begin watching. Starring Adam Korson (“Two Broke Girls”), “Seed” celebrates a new type of modern family: one that’s formed at the, er, hands of a sperm donor — and in this case, a sperm donor whose children attempt to include him in their existing familial set-ups. Sentimental? Absolutely. But unlike “The New Normal,” viewers aren’t hit over the head with a life lesson at the end of every episode. From the get-go, “Seed” treats its audience like adults; like they’re in on the joke. Read more.

Plus, Harry and Rose (Carrie-Lynn Neales) square off about the future of Rose’s potential child.

What made Seed sag?

From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family:

Getting to the root of Seed’s slow start
The one that really seems, if you’ll pardon the pun, inconceivable: the soft opening of Seed Monday night on City. According to the overnight estimates, it drew 344,000 viewers across Canada–about half what I would have predicted. The network gave the Halifax-based comedy plenty of on-air promotion. The timeslot seemed like a perfect fit, hammocked between two of City’s top import comedies, How I Met Your Mother (which scored 890,000 viewers with a Canadian-themed episode) and this year’s biggest U.S. comedy hit, 2 Broke Girls (1,039,000).

Seed takes comedy gold to the bank

From Brad Oswald of the Winnipeg Free Press:

  • You can take comedy gold to the bank
    YOU know how it is with banks these days — you keep making deposits, but the rate of return is so low that you feel like you’re not producing any positive results. Harry doesn’t have that problem. Of course, that might have something to do with the kind of banking Harry does. Read more.
