I guess the best way you could learn about the appeal of this show is to check out the cast and character thread , because this show is less situation-generated than it is a character-generated comedy....Everyone in the town is a little quirky, strangely, the "Big city girl" Lacey is possibly the quirkiest one of all! It's been compared to Seinfeld for having shows about nothing in particular, however, I find THIS this show a LOT funnier than Seinfeld( Admittedly a show I truly couldnt stand )!
This show might be compared to the Andy Griffith show in its "small town charm", IF TAGS had had any idea what was going on, in the real World!

Also, the humour is alot more subtle than many shows I've watched. As has been mentioned somewhere on one of these threads, there's no laugh track (YEAH!) and they don't shove the jokes down your throat. You can be watching an episode for the fifth time, and still find something new to laugh at.

Good point Jaina

Mikado · 09-03-2007, 02:13 PM

7days, until Hank tries to borrow a "TENSKI" from you!

Ireneparalegal · 09-04-2007, 01:06 AM

Just from what I have been told abt the show, it is something I really look forward to watching.

Mikado · 09-04-2007, 03:18 PM

6days until the "arresting" Officer Karen Pelly puts the cuffs on you!

Mikado · 09-04-2007, 08:25 PM

Sharp-eyed viewers might recognise Karen as actress Tara Spencer-Nairn from the Oxygen-Showcase series "Naked Josh", where she played a lesbian named Daisy.

Mikado · 09-05-2007, 04:43 PM

5Days until Officer Davis hands you a Cosmo and closes the cell door behind you.....You'll be captured by Corner Gas

Mikado · 09-05-2007, 07:52 PM

A graduate of the University of Alberta, Lorne Cardinal ( Who plays Officer Davis Quinton ), is a native of Sucker Creek First Nations, in Alberta. He now makes his home in Hamilton, Ontario. ( About an hour from where I live )

Mikado · 09-06-2007, 02:05 PM

Only 4days to go, until WGN shows its "special sneak preview" of CORNER GAS.......
C'mon in and sit down, Emma will serve you her World-famous meatloaf, and a slice of pie. Sit and gossip, for a spell......but, you'd best be on your best behaviour, cause Emma doesnt take guff from anyone!

Mikado · 09-06-2007, 07:54 PM

Janet Wright who plays Brett's Mom Emma, on the show, has known and worked with Eric Peterson , who plays her husband Oscar, for more than 25 years
