    Default Corner Gas

    I dunno if its just me, but i caught the reruns on The Comedy Network and I have to say it has its moments. It has some good characters. When it comes down to it I would definitly watch it if Sienfeld was not on.

    What are your thoughts on the show?

    I love the show. It's got a particular kind of humour that's not so slapstick (American style) and not so intelligent (British style). It's somewhat more mainstream than Red Green (which I like too). It's a happy medium. Apparently some friends who grew up in small towns say that it's quite reflective of what happens when there's not much to do - you end up gossiping about other people's small problems.

    Not bad at all for a home-grown show. Too bad it airs on Monday night on CTV - I can never catch it live because I'm not home till late. BTW, the new season starts on Monday.

    Two thumbs up for Brent Butt!

    Great show, especially if you have roots in Sask or probably any smaller prairie town.

    I admit it. I got suckered in by the three year old thread and deleted my post in a futile attempt to hide my mistake.

    But at least it wasn't me that bumped it!

    This show is great, it's definitely a different kind of humour! Plus, they got the Lamborghini Club Of America in one episode with some pretty sick rides.

    Sorry guys, Corner Gas sucks ass... the humour seems way too forced, kind of like disconnected "IT guy" humour.

    You want funny, watch Family Guy or Rescue Me!

    I tried really really hard to enjoy this show, as my ex was from Sask and she's just nuts about it. 2-3 episodes later, my hatred for it has not lessened. But good on you - to those who like it.

    I've caught it a time or 2 when nothing else was on, I'd never buy DVD's of it or anything, but it wasn't as stupid as I thought it was going to be..

    I just like the lady in the cafe shop... Laney or w/e her name is, even the girl cop looks so-so when she dresses up... in terms of comedy, I think it is forced, I like it

    Nothing that has meaning is easy. "Easy" doesn't enter into grown-up life... everday we live, hard its a strife... good thing right now I don't have a wife
