Canada's #1 Comedy Series Hangs Up the Pump. Experience the hugely popular series as it winds up its run with a full Series Boxed Set including all six seasons of Corner Gas
Popular comedian Brent Butt returns to small town Saskatchewan to portray the life he would have led had he gotten a real job - pumping gas at Corner Gas. Each episode of Corner Gas delivers a half-hour of comedic voyeurism in a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. The series is set in the fictional town of Dog River Saskatchewan, and focuses on the life (or lack thereof) of gas station owner Brent LeRoy, coffee shop proprietor Lacey Burrows and the folks who populate the area. Dog River is a nice town, but far from the quaint and idyllic little burgs we're used to seeing on TV. It isn't Pleasantville and it's definitely not Mayberry. It's a little town with a definite edge where not much happens and people like it that way. But invariably, when things do change, just a little, all hell breaks loose!

First off, I did not purchase this exact packaging, but I did buy all six seasons individually-for a lot-a lot-more money. This was a great show, and it went out on top. It's a harmless, feel good situation comedy that is very character driven-think Andy Griffith type rather than Seinfeld. It's set in a mythical small town (Dog River) in the great white north of Canada, but it could easily be in the US, although there are some Canadian specific guests and jokes. The humor is well done, and it's never mean spirited. If your only exposure to this show was on WGN at 1 am or 5 am (like where I first saw it) you'll get a few more minutes in each episode here-I remember a lot of commercials on the over the air showings. I shared this show with my teenage daughter, and she really got into it too. This show gets my highest recommendation for its great comedy, consistent writing, acting and direction. You will really get to know he characters and enjoy the quirks of each, along with the wacky town, including the FOO MAR (letters fell off the sign) and the combination insurance agency/liquor store. I'll admit to owning a few mugs, keychains and even an official Corner Gas shirt just like Brent wears. The only complaint you'll have is that Dog River closed down too soon-you'll be left wanting more.

This is not like most comedies on tv in that it isn't crass and doesn't use any vulgar language. It's clever and enjoyable but some may find it dull. There is no laugh track and it isn't filled with super models, just regular people in a small town in Canada. Watch a few episodes before you buy it; if you don't get the charm after 3 episodes you never will, what you see is what you get.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I was introduced to Corner Gas on an obscure cable channel late one night. Sometimes great dialogue, plenty of sarcasm, and thankfully no laugh track. Since the show seems to be off the air I bought the set. No disappointments.
