.......If WGN has started to promote CORNER GAS yet? And when they plan to start showing it? I really cant wait to hear what you think of this show!

Ireneparalegal · 07-25-2007, 10:16 PM

I remember you mentioning this sometime back, but I haven't really watched WGN lately. Maybe someone else who watches this channel can tell us. I too look forward to watching this show after what you told me abt it!

Mikado · 07-25-2007, 10:22 PM

I would think it would be very soon....unless WGN is planning to "bury" it , like Ted Turner did with Sailor Moon ( in order to keep it from being in competition with his own shows )

hmmm maybe i should have called this "Does ANYONE know........" Unfortunately, I have no Idea HOW to change a title! oops

I think I saw a commercial for it last night during Becker.

Cools...I hope youll give the show a try Sam+Diane.... its hilarious, and has no laugh track* ( *Which i love, but, might not work in USA )

No laugh track entices me. I just have to see how I'm gonna work college and all my TV watching together. Last season, it wasn't a problem but all these great new shows have popped up that I have to watch and see how I like it.

The best thing is, without a laugh track, you dont have those phoney pauses while the actors wait for the audience to hush up...also means more time for dialogue, as I said, i make up my own laugh track

Example of CG humour:
Brent and Lacey about to taste Oscar's homemade beer:
Lacy: " I left Toronto to get AWAY from the polution!"
Brent: "Geez Dad, did you mix this in a Skidoo Boot, or a crow's nest?"
Dad: "You sissy, it's like a Belgian beer!"
Brent: "Honest to God Dad, it tastes like you beat a skunk to death with a salmon!"
OMG that line makes me laugh
