"Forty kilometres from nowhere and way beyond normal"

I got my first glimpse of this wonderful tv show when Chicago’s own, WGN, aired it following Scrubs every night (which is my all time favorite show). Of course, now WGN pulled it and replaced it with a televised version of the most horrible radio talk show ever.

I think Corner Gas still airs on WGN but not sure when. Corner Gas is a Canadian sitcom that normally air’s on CTV. It was created by Brent Butt who also is the main character and owns the gas station in the show. The show itself is set in a small fictitious Canadian town “Dog River”. I heard that in real life Brent is married to Nancy Robertson’s character “Wanda”. Wanda works as a helper at the gas station.

They just finished up shooting their 6th and final season.

Many people are quite sad to see this so end as am I. It’s pretty rare to see such a great wholesome show as this these days. You can check out their website Corner Gas for more info.

If you haven’t seen this show yet, I recommend checking it out online. Most all the episodes are on youtube believe it or not. I have found them posted in different channels in order of their seasons.

Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Season 5

Season 6

Just for the record, in my opinion Lacey is pretty damn hot and when Karen lets her hair down and is out of uniform, she is gorgeous too! Side note, Tara Spencer, who played Karen, can be seen naked in the movie Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy (2002).

The show was actually filmed in the town of Rouleau, Saskatchewan and the buildings the show was filmed at/in are still there sitting abandoned but without the Ruby and Corner Gas signs. The old grain elevator building still has the town name of Dog River on it though.

Corner Gas has the distinction of running for 107 episodes without a single major cast change, and all of the core cast members (i.e. those featured in the opening credits) appeared in every single episode.
