SEASON FIVE THREAD (CAUTION BIG SPOILERS) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mikado · 09-23-2007, 12:51 PM

-For those of you on my ( The Canadian side ) of the border, Season 5 of Corner Gas begins Monday (tomorrow).....The promotional ads for this season are a wonderful vignette depicting a Dog River dancing contest with Davis and Karen, Emma and Oscar, Hank and Wanda ( As strange as that seems ) and of course Brent partnered with Lacey all vying to win the contest with varying styles, with Brent eventually winning the contest with his famous "Dopey dance" from the harvest dance episode! Lacey looks a little embarrased until the judges award the contest prize to her and Brent......which leads to them fighting over the prize!

( When the CG s5 DVD comes out, i hope they add this wonderful and entertaining promo as a bonus!!! )
-Hopefully, this promo is hinting that the Lacey-Brent relationship that seemed to cool off in season 4 will rekindle in season 5, cause lets face it, thats what we die hard fans of the show WANT to see!!!
-People who've seen the promo will also notice that Tara Spencer-Nairn ( Who plays Officer Karen Pelly ) has let her hair grow out to its natural dark brown colour ( Last year it was halfway there and looked pretty strange ).....the jury is still out as to whether she looks better as a blonde or as a brunette!
CORNER GAS SEASON PREMIERE MONDAY 9:30 PM, CTV.....REPLAYED 8 PM SATURDAY ON THE COMEDY NETWORK

Here's another little blurb from the Calgary Herald, promoting S5 this time. Bit of a spoiler for the first episode of the new season at the end (in italics).

...
It's the returning favourites that will warm the most hearts, though. And few of those are likely to gladden more spirits than the gentle-natured Corner Gas.

The homegrown Prairie comedy opens its fifth season with a typical low-key outing in which the residents of Dog River obsess over the arrival of a cable company truck and, with it, the promise of a community cable-access show.

Trouble is, there's room on SaskCable's schedule for just one show, and everyone in Dog River wants to be a TV star. It's up to a laconic Brent Leroy (Brent Butt) to decide whose show will see the light of day, and that gives him the chance to ruminate about the state of Canadian TV.
The outing has some wonderful moments, as when Frank (Fred Ewanuick) chirps about how cannily The Beachcombers resembles life in Dog River.
"Yeah," Brent replies wryly, with the wisdom of the ages, "If you replace the ocean with no ocean at all, the similarities are eerie."

The actors in Corner Gas clearly enjoy each other's company. They're having a blast, and the show is a blast to watch as a result.
(CTV-10:30)

I can't understand why CG has been shoved to such a late time-slot as 9:30 ET, but, you can be sure ill be watching tonight!!!

Mikado · 09-24-2007, 10:14 PM

Well, I've just finished watching the season 5 premiere episode, and, I LAUGHED SO HARD MY THROAT IS SORE!!! This was easily the best ep of CG in at least 3 years, and the closest to the original concept since season 3....
The fresh blood ( they hired 2 new writers this year to replace the 2 that went over to the CBC ) has really paid off in giving the show a freshness that was missing in season 4, for the most part.
I knew I was in for a great show as soon as I heard the opening gag....Hank compares Dog River to The Beachcombers ( A Classic Canadian show about men scraping a living out of the recovery of stray logs in the vast lakes of BC ): "Yeah," Brent replies wryly, with the wisdom of the ages, "If you replace the ocean with no ocean at all, the similarities are eerie."...but what was the real kicker for me is Karen saying that "Street Legal" was in HER opinion the greatest Canadian TV show ever, only to have Oscar yell "STREET LEGAL SUCKED!"

( For those who dont know, this joke is only funny if you realise that Eric Peterson , who plays Oscar, starred on Street Legal before he joined the CG cast!!

)

You suck! I still have to wait another hour and a half! No fair! (Done ranting). Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it and now I can't wait!

It will be well worth the wait Jaina! You will LOVE it, I guarantee!

Jaina · 09-25-2007, 06:00 PM

I agree! Definitely one of my favourite more recent episodes.
One of my favourite parts had to be Davis trying to 'flirt' with Brent. Hysterical!

Mikado · 09-25-2007, 06:32 PM

And did you see the expression on Brent's face as Davis flirts?

I think I hear WEDDING BELLS.......................not

Mikado · 10-01-2007, 10:13 PM

ARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!! Corner Gas was pre-empted tonight because that stupid "Dancing with the stars" show was 2 hours long tonight!!! Now i have to wait until Saturday to see S5#2.......

HEY CTV, STOP SCREWING WITH THE CG SCHEDULING OR YOU MIGHT LOSE THE AUDIENCE, IDIOTS!!!!!!! ( ok, end of rant!!!)

Ireneparalegal · 10-01-2007, 10:19 PM

How could they pre-empt a new season episode? That seems rather odd. BTW, I love DWTS.

Well, the new time for CG is Mon at 9:30 ( after DWTS) < it was mon 8 pm last year, but, because DWTS was 2 hours ( until 10 ) it knocked out CG from its new timeslot.....CTV has been screwing around with the shows timeslot for 5 years, and i always hated that, but now, I have a place to bitch about it, and I did!

Mikado · 10-08-2007, 04:08 PM

Well, finally after a 2 WEEK wait, the second new ep of the season will be on tonight and I cant WAIT til 9:30....thx to Dancing with the stars going 2 hours last week, there was no broadcast of CG....I thought that wouldnt be TOO bad, as the Comedy Network was supposed to air the show on Sat; and promoted it as such, but, come Sat. night, I tuned in , only to see a rerun of a show from Season 3!!!!! So, it's been 2 weeks since the season debut and i'm chomping at the bit!!!....... Tonights ep seems a bit of a SEXY departure as one of the stories apparently revolves around Laceys attempts to interest the town in a nude calendar promotion, for Dog River.....and the ad shows a pair of panties and a skirt sliding down a sexy pair of legs!

( They MUST be Laceys.......Gosh forbid, if they were Brent!!!!!

)

Mikado · 10-08-2007, 10:23 PM

well, i had to wait til 9:35 but MAN WAS IT WORTH IT!!! So far season 5 is 2for2~~~!!!!!!! 10/10 ...I laughed like crazy tonight!!! My only regret, was not getting to see Lacey naked...darn camera angles!!!
