Anyone else into "Corner Gas"?

It's a great sitcom from Canada. I don't think it's ever been shown in the US, but there are six seasons out on DVD. I just check the DVDs out of the library and watch them over and over. It's my best new half-hour comedy discovery since Red Dwarf - and I found that one in 1993! It's extremely humorous. Trust me.

2. I just downloaded the first season, but haven't started it yet.

It is really highly regarded.

I've been watching another Canadian series that just started, Dan For Mayor, which I think shares a couple of the actors and writers from Corner Gas.

5. I haven't seen it often enough even though I am in Canada. I look for the DvDs at the video store.

I've only caught it a couple of times, though ...

7. Love it. Have seen every episode and now waiting for the movie. Have you tried

Trailer Park Boys? Not nearly as "wholesome" as Corner Gas and a different kind of humor.

9. Of course I love the show, Jackass!

You know, I wonder if the set is still standing in Rouleau SK, where they filmed the show.
