Corner Gas

I downloaded Corner Gas Animated which knowing nothing about it I thought was a decent funny animated show - after a few episodes I looked it up and found out it was animated version of this TV Show. Started watching it and its hilarious, love the wit and the occasional reference to things from the 70s and 80s.

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!!

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.

Well, this show has been renewed for a second season, and I couldn't be happier. We, from Saskatchewan, are proud of this show because it shows the way we live (exaggerated of course), and locals have been used for extras (a guy from the town next to my home town, but went to high school in my home town was an extra and had one line). The show doesn't make people from small towns look like retards or inbred freaks, but focuses on how we know everybody, and as a result, trust everybody.

I love the interactions that the town of Dog River had with Lacey, in the beginning. It was so true the way they were suspicious of the girl moving from the big city to this tiny town. But once she showed she was planning to stay in the town, they warmed up to her. This happened to my family when they moved to my home town. The town warmed up to my parents when they had me and my brother because they knew we were staying and not going to leave.

I also love Oscar, the old and senile man who is so easily controlled by his stable wife. Honestly, I know a few people like Oscar. I loved the episode where he kept winning the stuffed animals from the claw machine.

I can't stop laughing. In the mode of Red Green. Subtle humor delivered by some seriously good actors. And thank God, no laugh track.
