 |  | Just watched the entire Season 1 again... |  |
I just spent the better part of the past weekend watching Season 1 with my best friend, who had never seen it. It was great to experience it with her. This show is amazing and it really doesn't get much better. I could listen to the opening theme song over and over.....
WHY on earth isn't the 2nd season DVD out? Who do we need to talk to?
I don't watch regular tv much....Huff and Six Feet Under.....best shows in recent history.
By the way....I canceled my subscription to Showtime when they canceled Huff.......I protested the only way I could.....if they won't stand behind a quality show....they won't get my business.
There should have been many more seasons of Huff...what a shame....
June 9, 2008its a sensational and mind bending extraordinary show.but its such a pity that it will not be aired after second season because (show time)was incapable of proper marketing.
January 10, 2008Read the other reviews. This is a brilliant perfectly executed, written, and better acted than any other show on TV. Showtime made the mistake of cancelling it so the least they can do is release season 2 on DVD, as it is well over due.

We purchased this DVD and just cracked up through the whole thing! If this show was cancelled, someone needs to bring it back! Can't wait for the 2nd season to come out on DVD!!

I watched the first episode right after I bought "Huff". I found it very dark and kind of depressing. Of course, I LOVED Blythe Danner as Huff's mother--she's the main reason I wanted to see the show--and she definitely deserved her two Emmy Awards for her wonderful performance as a woman who hides her pain with a sharp tongue. It's worth watching "Huff" just for Ms. Danner. Then a few months ago I decided to sit down and watch the second episode, which I enjoyed a lot more than the first. Then I watched a third and a fourth episode--and I fell in love with the series and all of the memorable characters: Hank Azaria as Huff has never been better, Paget Brewster as Huff's wife Beth is letter perfect, Anton Yelchin is terrific as Huff's teenage son (his relationship with the girl he tutors is a riot), Andy Comeau is quietly effective in his brief appearances in each episode as Huff's troubled brother, and Oliver Platt is outrageous and quite touching as Huff's best friend, Russel. Even the smaller roles are expertly cast with excellent actors, including Kimberly Brooks as Huff's no-nonsense office manager, Liza Lapira as Russel's no-nonsense secretary and Faith Prince as Kelly Knippers, whom Russel becomes involved with--all three of these women are outstanding! The only character I didn't care for was the Homeless Hungarian--I just didn't think he was necessary--and, fortunately, he's not around much in the later episodes. With the first season ending on a doozy of a cliffhanger, I eagerly await the second season to arrive on DVD. I have a frustrated feeling that I'll be waiting a long time for this, since I don't think Sony is in any rush to release "Huff's" second season on DVD. "Huff" is a show that will grow on you--it sneaks up on you and forces you to love it. Oh, and I almost forgot about one of my favorite actresses--Swoosie Kurtz, who plays Beth's ill mother--another great performance. "Huff" is overflowing with greatness in all departments. Is that high enough praise for you? Rent it, buy it, steal it--do whatever it takes to watch one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.
