Customer Reviews

Comedy the way comedies should be made... with intelligence
Croner Gas, now in its third season in Canada, is the story of a gas station/convenience store owner (Brent Butt, also the show's creator) and seven other main inhabitants of the small Saskatchewan town of Dog River. Unlike many US sitcoms where there is a forces laugh track and a joke or funny face that must be made every 52 1/2 seconds, Corner Gas finds its humor in the reality of life ina small, backwater town in the middle of nowhere where such things as the biggest pile of lumber in town or the town's pothole are big things to the townspeople. It also finds its humor in how people really are... characters.

This is the sort of show that a major US network would ruin if they decided to do a US version, just as they ruined Coupling a few seasons ago. Which is a pity because this is a show that deserves to be seen down here. Maybe Comedy Central will pick it up. Or, BBC America.

For those lucky enough to live in Canada or in a border town that receives CTV or Canada's Comedy Channel, you get to watch these wonderful programs weekly. For those of us in "other" places, we have to wait until the DVDs come out. Thankfully, the first two seasons are available from amazon.ca. (...)

Keeps getting better
Great family oriented comedy from the fictional town of Dog River in Canada. I enjoyed season two just as much as season one if not more. Oscar is becoming one of my favorite sitcom characters ever.
Great show!

Good Stuff, eh
Corner Gas is not for everyone!!! Having said that, let me also say that if they don't like Corner Gas then odds are great I'm not hanging around with them!
Corner Gas, like any well contrived form of entertainment is an acquired taste designed by and for people of discerning character and....oh forget it, this show is FUNNY. The way it mixes wordplay and visual imagery and spoofs every show known to man...and some women is a treat and a fantastic way to escape for about 24 and a half minutes.
The characters are charming and you really want to know what they are up to. And if all you are after is some show that will parade a bevy of beautiful bodies around then Brent Leroy AKA Brent BUTT (Let me interrupt myself and say that a show whose main writer is named BUTT has got to be good!)is not gonna make it .....BUT(T) that Lacey Burroughs is some cute northern light if you know what I mean and I believe you do. (She can produce a heat wave no matter how far north of the border you go.)
The show has sarcasm, slap-stick comedy, double entendre's, and other humor which needs to be experienced to truly begin to understand this mind we know as Brent Butt! (That name kills me.... it's just fun to say....try it....say Brent Butt three times fast and then see if you don't feel compelled to go to your computer and purchase all 5 seasons. (Hopefully the 6th one will be out soon.)
Well, gotta go watch another episode or two, eh.
