Popular comedian Brent Butt returns to small town Saskatchewan to portray the life he would have led had he gotten a real job - pumping gas at Corner Gas. Each episode of Corner Gas delivers a half-hour of comedic voyeurism in a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. The series is set in the fictional town of Dog River Saskatchewan, and focuses on the life (or lack thereof) of gas station owner Brent LeRoy, coffee shop proprietor Lacey Burrows and the folks who populate the area. Dog River is a nice town, but far from the quaint and idyllic little burgs we're used to seeing on TV. Written by Anonymous
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.
