Corner Gas

I admit that I didn't set out to watch this show, it was on before "American Idol" one night. But I was converted into a fan with one episode.

I really like the quirky humour and the way that the characters interact with each other. And how the characters stay true to themselves.

I'd never heard of Brent Butt, or anyone else in this show, before. Doesn't matter. They make a good ensemble.

So Canadians are capable of producing a good TV show themselves! You don't have to be from the prairies to understand the flavour of small town Canada.

I saw a re-run the other day and this show still makes me laugh. I wish they hadn't cancelled it. the corner gas movie was hilarious too. Best canadian show ever made.

A friend recommended the show, streaming on Prime presently. What a fantastic, hilarious comedy about a small town in Saskatchewan where the little cafe and gas station is the hub of small-town interactions. Like all small towns, everybody knows everybody and the characters are fun and lovable. The writing is awesome! The acting & directing super! This is a great, light, fun, hilarious show.

I happened to catch an episode of this series when I was on holiday in Canada and became an immediate fan. The series is character driven, and similar in spirit to Seinfeld as a whole lot of nothing tends to happen in the small town of Dog River. There is quite a warmth about the characters and their interplay and the humour is generally good natured, focusing on human weaknesses and relationships. I am surprised it has never been shown on TV in the UK as I think a lot of people would appreciate the humour - there seems to be a lot of similarities between Canadian and Brit approach to comedy. If you've never seen it then it's well worth checking out

I have only just discovered this brilliant programme on amazon prime (i am english and only just seen it on prime). Watched the whole series in a few days as when i started watching i couldn't stop. I loved every episode, funny, witty and down to earth, it cheered me up no end. Just wish i had known about it years ago as when i started watching it i didn't realise it was nearly 17yrs old!! Love all the actors and the characters and Canada and love the Programme!!
