Canadian series, filmed entirely in Saskatchewan. Corner Gas was created by Canadian comedian Brent Butt, who imagined what his life might be like had he remained in a small Saskatchewan town rather than pursuing stand-up comedy. During it's run Corner Gas received six Gemini Awards, and was nominated almost 70 times for various other awards. There are six seasons (107 episodes, also currently available on Prime) in the can, a 2014 movie, and a 2016 animated series. Not one weak episode to be found. Genuinely funny, a bit dry, and quite a bit of this is actually high-brow. Well worth your time! Guaranteed.
Movie Reviews
Great show

"I have given up on American Sit-coms, they all have one subject and only that subject SEX. Not that there is anything wrong with a little subtle induendo but every show is in your face sex from beginning to end. Corner Gas proves that a comedy can still be clean and funny. Let's see more of this from CTV."
Good, As Always

"Corner Gas has to be one of the best produced sitcoms in years and season five continues the tradition. I was in Rouleau, SK this past summer as they were filming season six - which will be the last one. Too bad, but I think they will be going out on top."
Corner Gas is a Gas

"We stumbled on WGN's early morning broadcast of Corner Gas when our TiVo selected it as a Suggestion. Set in a small rural community in Canada, the interplay of the eight main characters is enjoyable.
Here is a show safe to watch with the Grand-Children.
Production recently ceased on the last season, Season 6.
If you have watched all of the episodes of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'Seinfeld', here is fresh material."
Corner Gas is a winner

"Another season of great comedic writing and delivery! One person seemed to imply that Canadian television can't be good but there are plenty of great shows from our neighbor to the north and this is one of, if not THE best out there. Humor, excellent acting and thankfully NO laugh track...the bane of American TV!
I laughed from episode one right through to the end. Well worth the money.
"Time well wasted"

Best show ever!

"The team from Saskatchewan has done it again! Corner Gas is an extremely witty and entertaining series that is both geared to adults adults but is still "clean" at the same time. This DVD set is the most user-friendly of them all, allowing the viewer to skip over both the opening and closing credits, as well as watching all of the episodes on the disk without having to go back to the main menu. I'm totally addicted- I can't wait for season 6!"
