Shut the fuck up, Sanguinet!
Thanks John Hamm! Yes, it was actor John Hamm who motivated me to finally start watching Shoresy last week. I've tired a bit of podcasts, but still tune in to Amy Poehler's Good Hang from time to time. For those who have listened, Poehler always ends her interviews by asking her guests what brings them joy. What book, music, movie or television show are they currently laughing at.
Hamm's answer was the Canadian hockey comedy Shoresy. Now I've been meaning to watch Shoresy for awhile. First off, I loved Jared Keeso, and got to know his work on Letterkenny. Also, finding out that Jacob Tierney, (Heated Rivalry) was also a writer, director and executive producer on the shows first two seasons also had wanting to give it a shot.
Once again, I have to thank John Hamm. As he stated on the Good Hang podcast, (HERE:) the show is REALLY Canadian, it's also really hilarious. I've never started a sit-com that drew me in so quickly, and had me belly laughing so often. It is a hockey show, and although I love hockey, you don't have to have a passion for the game to enjoy the show.
The Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs is run by three strong willed women, led by Captain Shorsey, (Keeso) and coached by the ultra hot, and put upon Sanguinet. It's members are a mix of gritty veterans of the league and locals, (the three Jim's) that Shorsey can pull together. They're a hilarious mix of characters and although I'm still just on season 2, the three Jim jokes are still fresh and funny.
At the center, and heart of the show is Keeso's Shorsey. Although Shorsey may be beaten and battered from years playing hockey, even a blacked out tooth can't hide how hot Keeso is. He's a great lead, not to mention, writer, director and show creator. Keeso allows his supporting actors to shine, and I love the writing and the side story of Shorsey's romantic pursuit of sports writer Laura.
Although there are tons of shirtless scenes, and some brief male, (and female) nudity, Keeso thus far, has kept his hockey pants on. He has however, given us brief glimpses of his beefy butt on the Canadian comedy Letterkenny and the Canadian police drama 19-2. (see both below)
19-2
