This is funny stuff. Not a smutty joke to be had and it is genuinely funny. I wish they had made more episodes. The voiceover from Paul Gross only makes it even funnier. The women aren't love interests and the guys aren't obsessed with chasing women. Occasionally there is some curling too!

I think the good reviews must be by crew members or the show's stars because this show was terrible, flopped very hard and was canceled right quick. Not only was the show bad and not funny, with a terrible cringe worthy cast, it is just basically a very bad mistake to make a TV show version of a movie from like a decade earlier that also was pretty much a flop (even though it had a great cast), especially with a totally different cast (that is much worse). Huge mistake and bad show, was glad to see it go.

Much better than the movie with the same title. The comedy, although sometimes a little dry, was fantastic. Being a curler and a fan of comedy shows, I really enjoyed this and am saddened that it is so difficult to find or view episodes in the US. The comedy and entertainment value, to me, was a curlers comedy version of somewhere in the middle of "Friends" and "Joey". I honestly thought it would last at least 2-3 seasons. One season was just not enough...So, I am just looking forward to someone letting me know that there will be a DVD release of this show in the near future. Someone, please...

Sorry, I've got to disagree, this is far and away the best Canadian comedy on network TV today - way better than Dan for Mayor or Hiccups *shudder*! It's fresh and amusingly funny in its portrayal of small-town Canada - which is not a lame excuse for anything, but rather a genuine pulse on the heartland. I found it neither elitist nor dumbed down, but relatably funny! By touching on social trends like vegetarianism, they're using comedy and comedic ignorance to open up public discourse and understanding - not mockery. Also, the show invites characters of different races into the fray without defining those characters by their race which is so refreshing! Every character is a character, and entertaining ones too, not playing up racial difference for cheap laughs! The cast does a solid job overall and the lead, Brendan Gall, has great comic timing. He's got a definite Seth Rogen vibe going' on. And I'm totally digging Paul Gross' narration. It improves the show much in the same way Ron Howard's did for Arrested Development. The self-conscious, self-referential asides to the audience play for some of the show's best laughs! Oh, and for the record, Paul Gross hasn't lost a step haha Love that guy!
