well I live in Saskatchewan and literally 30 minutes away from where this crap was made. I find the show totally laugh free TV with acting at the same depth of junior high interpretation. the lead is bland, the actors playing his parents are just horrid. the local idiot is dumber than dirt, the ethnically diversed male officer is a sterotype. this show is what is wrong with Canadian produced shows at their worse no talent, no style and no clue. the only thing that keeps it from being a 0 rating is at least the two young ladies in the show are decent eye candy but again talent challenged. any time watching this show is time stolen from me and I have watched two episodes so I wish to get that hour back.

I first saw this show on WGN a few years ago. They stopped showing it but just recently I bought the whole series. I love the show, the characters are sarcastically funny. The writing is great and the acting supports the writing. I think Hank looks like a clone of Radar from Mash. Brent's parents are a treat, Wanda is a sarcastic, manipulative, over educated tool who is very funny. I don't know how the cops in small towns are in Canada but the two here are what I would expect in a small town and are hilarious as rural area cops that will let things slide. Lacey is the cafe owner from the big city and the one who tries to uplift everyone by starting book clubs and other high brow activities. Brent is a classic, understated funny character.

corner gas is about a small town the hub of the town being the gas station/coffee shop diner.the main characters a couple police,2 gas station attendance,a diner owner,the gas station attendance's parents and a goof off with no job.i watched the first 3 seasons with pleasure.i found the show was exactly like the small Saskatchewan town i grew up in. it was witty and very accurate in the portrayal of small town life. but i believe the show has run its course and is losing momentum. I'm finding the story lines to be boring and uninteresting. its getting boring watching them try and come up with things to do in a gas station/diner.

Corner Gas is Intelligent, witty, down to earth & silly. It has more plots per episode, and no transparent social agenda. Has it really been since Cheers? The show is not as sophisticated and consistently polished as most Hollywood work, partly because it's packed so tight with content, and because it takes risks. And did I say it's down to earth? Corner Gas is the first show in a long time that both my wife and I look forward to watching. Having recently found the greatly improved picture quality of off the air digital TV channels, I was ready to dump my cable subscription until I stumbled upon Corner Gas on WGN. I guess Comcast will get their money for a few more months.
