Quick Draw is a refreshing oasis of humor in an overly scripted and strained world of sitcoms that are either trying to hard, or not trying at all, but simply rehashing the same overused formulas that were funny at first but have grown repetitive. Quick Draw jumps out of the gate with exceptional chemistry between the cast members, who are all improvising their lines in every scene! You can tell how much they enjoy their roles by the extent to which they truly delve in their characters and bring them to life. Improv acting takes infinitely more talent than reading off a script, and it shows in the results of this fantastic series.Trust me, you'll love this show as much as I do. You'll be glad you gave it a shot!

This show is funny, silly, and everything goofy- and it's 95% Improv! YES!!! After speaking to one of the stars (John Lehr) who also writes on the show, he told us that a great majority of the show's lines are unscripted! How talented, then, is this great cast if most of it is just made up! I will watch and rewatch this show for years to come- and you do not have to watch the episodes in order to know what is going on. It's HULU Quickdraw weekend on The Ignorance Equation: Friday at 8pm eastern is Deputy Eli Brocias (Nick Brown), then Sunday at 1pm eastern is Sheriff John Henry Hoyle himself, (John Lehr).

Hands down, one of the funniest comedies on TV. Watching Quickdraw is like watching a great improv show. The cast members do an excellent job playing off each other; the script is witty, the jokes can be subtle and smart or in-your-face slapstick and silly. The show knows its audience and eagerly plays with the boundaries of adult humor set for a show not on HBO. The show takes on what could be difficult political and social issues and makes them hilarious regardless of where you are on the political spectrum. What other show on TV can successfully pull off discussing the dilemma of 'crotch rot' and the issue of women's suffrage in the same episode? Race, sexual orientation, women's rights, religion and sexual liberation are common show topics and Quickdraw deals with them all beautifully. The show is a modern classic in the making and a new reason to look forward to Thursdays.

Quickdraw is a great new original series from Hulu. The show is not an "authentic" western in any sense. It is a contemporary comedy set in the "Old West" of Great Bend, Kansas. If you like "The Office," you should like Quickdraw, as well. It has a similar feel of improvisational comedy (although The Office wasn't improvisational, it certainly had that feel to it). The comedy is quite funny, although it contains humor that may be inappropriate for younger viewers. Casting for the main characters is fantastic. The show stars John Lehr as Sheriff John Hoyle. Lehr reminds me a lot of Jason Bateman in Arrested Development. He is a Harvard graduate who has taken the job of Sheriff in the small town of Great Bend, Kansas. He is like a fish out of water, as the saying goes. His character is very "book smart" but without a lot of "street smarts." Nick Brown plays his deputy, Eli Brocias. As of the first few episodes, this character hasn't been fleshed out very well. What we do know about him is that he seems to want to have nothing really to do with enforcing the law. Apparently, being a deputy only pays the bills. He tries to avoid criminals and arresting anyone as much as possible.Allison Dunbar plays a bartender and prostitute. She is something of a love interest for Hoyle.Bob Clendenin plays the town undertaker, Vernon Shank. A brief word to the reviewer who stated that "the Kansas scenery is realistic." Uh, no, it isn't. I actually live in Great Bend, Kansas, the supposed location of this fictional series. Great Bend is located in one of the flattest areas of Kansas. There are no mountains within a three day ride by horse, let alone in the background of the town. In fact, if you had stood in the center of Great Bend when the town was just getting started, you would not have been able to see a hill, either. The sagebrush is wrong for this area. The rocks used in the series are wrong for this area. Nothing about the scenery fits the real Great Bend, Kansas. However, that doesn't distract from this charming show. It still has an "Old West" look and feel to it, even if it doesn't match reality.
