Not my cup of tea either. but a hit non the less. I wish Mr Butt more sucess in creating popular Canadina Television.
I heard a story that Corner Gas was offered to CBC and they turned it down. Although if the show was call "Boner Gas" and based in Toronto Church and Wellesly neighborhood the Corp would have picked it up in a second. Love the CBC but find some of their programming choices odd.

Good Bye,crappy show.

I watched it religiously and I think what makes the difference is that I watched if from episode 1. The characters grew on me. Its difficult to jump in after that point. I'll miss it.
Mike, as usual a well thought out, deep, enlightening comment.
April 12, 2009 / 13:50
As is yours Pauly. Thanks for the input.
April 12, 2009 / 14:41
Horon---you saying the CBC is controlled by fags???----bummer!!!!
April 12, 2009 / 14:42
Sorry Pauly, but Mike is right. The show was lame - they used old tired situations.
April 12, 2009 / 14:44
Had it's moments as did and does Seinfeld and 2.5 men.
The star has to be generous with the laughs to make it work and the Butt-ster does that.

I loved it. Very Canadian with lots of Canadian In jokes. It was slow paced buti laughed and that's all that counts. I think I'm a bit of a Homer and give more credit to Canadian stuff than Non Canadian stuff. I met Brent at the Pilot Tavern one time. Nice guy with out the atificailly enlarged ego you might have expected.

We don't all have to like the same stuff. I really enjoyed it.

Corner Gas in various packagings has been all over CTV these last few days and it's hard to avoid it.
Talk about relentless promotion! But that's what makes CTV--just like CFRB--so maddeningly annoying.
April 13, 2009 / 04:41
I've tried to watch it over the years but couldn't get into it, couldn't figure out what was going on.
April 13, 2009 / 09:13
Freddie, couldn't agree with you more. I am glad they had success, but won't miss it for a second. I found reruns of "The Amazing Race Season #2" to be more compelling and entertaining.
Just one more day of CTV's barrage of farewells then it is done. Thank goodness. And oh yes, good bye Dave. I actually miss Dave but won't miss this one.

poor attempt at humor!

While I understand how this show might "speak" to a lot of folks across Canada, a little of Corner Gas goes a very long way. Which begs the question, why did the CBC turn down Brett Butt and go with the even less funny Little Mosque.....? They wouldn't have had to ask for a government handout had they had the foresight to go with Corner Gas.
April 13, 2009 / 14:05
Lame. Although Brett looks like he could be Freddie's bro. That being said, Fred, you are a million times more handsome.
Not playing for the other team,
Frank

The CTV and other media outlets have probably gone over board with promotions & recaps so one really can't be sure how popular the show is (was) with Canadians...but I liked Corner Gas from day one and will miss it
April 13, 2009 / 16:23
Good riddance, another overhyped cancon snorefest.
April 13, 2009 / 16:26
oh and that goes for little mosque as well. I bet Carlos Rota must be wondering what wrong turn he took driving into CTU that fateful morning.
April 14, 2009 / 15:23
Good finish.
April 15, 2009 / 14:01
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
April 15, 2009 / 14:04
In a stunning upgrade, CTV will fill the time slot with reruns of "Just Like Mom" starring Fergie Oliver.
April 19, 2009 / 18:56
I couldn't stomach it either, Brent Butt's character struck me as a huge douche.
August 30, 2010 / 23:34
Who the hell thought creating a mosque at ground zero had to be a good idea? I am no great fan of both Glen Beck or Sarah Palin though in contrast to Obama and the supremely idiotic current administration, this couple are prodigies, get real United states, there is a bit of strange stuff going down.

You made some really good points there. I researched this topic and found out that a lot of people will agree with your weblog. My kindest regards, Ami.
Perusing the papers this morning it was brought to my attention that tomorrow night marks the final episode of Corner Gas.
