Product Description:
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.

Rating: - The Good, Clean, Realistic Fun Continues
No sophomore jinx here! In season two, "Corner Gas" continues to deliver more of what made it great while still in its first season. I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed every episode of the first 4 seasons of this show. I sincerely hope that WGN, which carries the series in the USA, will soon begin broadcasting the current season as they air in Canada. (Currently they only air reruns.)
I have heard this series compared to "Friends." However, to me, "Corner Gas" is much better than "Friends." ... Read More
Rating:  - Homegrown humor.
I will agree with the reviewers who state this comedy is top notch. The only issue I have with this set is the video quality of the episodes. The resolution looks lower for some reason. The picture quality is better when you watch the episode on broadcast televison. This isn't how it should be when you have a high quality DVD and TV video setup. Things are a little darker and grainier. The color is also faded.
Bad transfer maybe?
Rating: - I'd give it ten stars if I could
If you have never seen Corner Gas, you're in for a real treat. You will get a taste of life in an remote prairie town where folks who have known each other forever and have a developed a whole nuanced culture of their own. The show has lots of low key jokes, paranoid humor and kind-hearted sarcasm...but they also have some over the top, deluded, grandious, hilarious schemes. The humor never gets mean though because they are all in each others lives for the duration. Wonderful ensemble show that will ... Read More
Rating: - Best Show Since Seinfeld
Corner Gas is easily the best show Canada has ever had and is without a doubt, by a landslide, the best show on television right now. After seeing two full seasons of this I can already say that this is the best show since Seinfeld which is my favourite show of all time. This show is so genious that I seriously think it has the potential to become tied with Seinfeld for my favourite show ever or very close to it. Maybe it could even surpass it but it has a very long way to go to get there. If they can ... Read More
