......When WGN is going to show Canada's sitcom "Corner Gas" , its supposed to start sometime in 2007 , have they begun to promote the show as of yet?

Going by Wikipedia (which is definitely not a reliable source, but all I could find), it's starting in September

Mikado, wasn't "Little Mosque On The Prairie" also picked up by a US cable network, except that I don't think it was WGN?

Unfortunately yes, I guess no one else wanted to syndicate the show in the USA......i imagine if its a hit, other stations will pick it up after WGN finishes the contract

Is there any way to see WGN in New York? I saw Corner Gas on Youtube and liked it a lot. Thanks

WGN is a Superstation like TBS....check your cable provider, it might be available

Scoobiedoo30 · 07-27-2007, 01:50 AM

call your cable company

Corner Gas has no laugh track but.......
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:
Lacey: " 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
