CORNER GAS
why wouldn't rural Americans understand and love this special little jewel from Canada...many long to live in a town such as this...hahahahahahahahaha...where lies and simple deceits occur over Jello Salad and the home town folks spit on the floor when a rival town's name is mentioned
***Edmunchuck***SPIT***.....

i lived in a Smallville Town of 805Pop for 16 years and still miss it
I'm sorry to hear it's going off air but I'm thrilled I'll be able to see it in re-runs for years to come....i watch all of The Gilmore Girls that way

After five seasons in Canada, Corner Gas -- Brent Butt's loopy little sitcom set in the fictional town of Dog River, Sask. -- is finally being introduced to U.S. viewers.

The carrier is Chicago-based superstation WGN, available in over 70 million U.S. homes as well as to digital subscribers in Canada.

In an era when U.S. programming floods across our borders and dominates our ratings, it is news when a Canadian TV show manages to turn it around and crack the U.S. market. Not everything we try to export to the States sticks; Trailer Park Boys were told to decamp after one low-rated season on the U.S. cable network BBC America. Da Vinci's Inquest, however, was quickly embraced by viewers when it was picked up by WGN, providing a tidy annuity for its star, Nicholas Campbell.

Corner Gas is already a pretty successful import, appearing in 26 countries. Cast members keep hearing stories from tourists who have seen episodes in faraway places such as Australia and New Zealand.

This press tour, the buzz has been about the show that has stolen some thunder from Corner Gas in Canada, CBC's Little Mosque On The Prairie.''
