Review of Huff

Huff (2004–2006)
10/10
I love Huff!
28 August 2006
I love this program! Then, last night when Blythe Danner deservedly won the Emmy for best-supporting actress announced there would be no more Huff, I was mightily disappointed. That was an amazing cast, excellent writing (though at times it had you jumping a bit), had me falling on the floor laughing one minute, crying my eyes out the next. What more could you ask from a Comedy/Drama? Seriously. And how could Showtime leave its devoted fans up in the air like that with so many unanswered questions? I honestly do not believe HBO would have done that to its fans. Showtime, make amends! Give us back Huff!!! Give us back the lovely Blythe Danner as the amazing, funny, crazy Izzy, the strangely endearing, chaotic Oliver Platt as Russel, and Swoosie Kurtz -- I've missed her so much! And, of course, Hank Azaria was perfect as Huff, even though I wanted to throttle him (or the writers, because I don't think Huff is that calloused) when he gave in so easily with a prostitute. And Andy Comeau was fabulous as Teddy. I'll never know what happened to him. Anton Yelchin played a wonderful Byrd, though I have a bit of a bone to pick with the writers of his part. I don't think you warned us quite enough what he was turning into. It didn't feel real somehow. But I forgive you. And kudos to the rest of the cast. Excellent work! Someone somewhere pick up this wonderful show. Please, keep it on the air. Huff deserves to be seen. And it deserved to be nominated for several Emmys.
