More Canadians in Ireland

Purely by chance I learned that RTE 2 is showing Corner Gas. My brother had told me about this sitcom a couple years ago, but I only got to watch it when I was in BC this May.

Corner Gas is set in Dog River, a fictional town, but it's filmed in Rouleau, Saskatchewan.

A fine location, as hungry will attest.

OWhat have I been up to?

What night is it on, I must keep an eye out for it

That's one of my favorite shows. Glad you can see it there.

Oops, should have said it was on last night /this morning @ 1.20 am. Next week it will be 12.40.

In classic RTE style they put a new "foreign" show on in the middle of the night whenever it fits in the schedule

I hope you'll like it sprogger, it's best described as a Canadian Kilinaskully

You like Corner Gas San?

Brent Butt is great!

I wonder if BBC America will carry this show soon? I'll keep an eye out!

San # 11. September 2007, 17:28

All the characters are great. I love how they pick on Lacey, and Hank's stupidity, and Davis the cop. And all of these actors are very accomplished as well. I don't think I'd ever seen Eric Peterson in a comedic role before.

Hi Elly, it was just announced that the show will be on "Superstation" WGN in the States. You can read all about it here.

And be sure to watch the youtube clip at the bottom of the page.

Yeah they are Sandy

I like Oscar and Emma. They really compliment each other.

Eliane a/k/a Elly # 11. September 2007, 19:22

Cool, I'll check it out! WGN -- gosh, you amaze me, MJ! You always get the info! Thanks

Eliane a/k/a Elly # 11. September 2007, 19:22

I'll watch the clip later! Got to get son at school.

Mick-E # 11. September 2007, 21:29

It's nothing really. I was looking at the Corner Gas site and they were making a big deal about the fact that the show was coming to America.

I have no telly so have never seen the show, but if it's filmed in Saskatchewan, which has many rolling hills, and once used to be home to the majestic Grey Wolf, I'm absolutely certain it must be a great show like all things Saskatchewan are.

Sanhsan, you watch too much t.v.

tsk tsk tsk

Mick-E # 11. September 2007, 21:52

You don't know what you're missing hungry.

hungryghost # 11. September 2007, 23:36

au contraire....Sanshan will know what I mean...

San # 12. September 2007, 02:07

It's an excellent show...with sumfink on every level.

Mick-E # 12. September 2007, 07:37

Wish I knew what you meant hungry

San # 12. September 2007, 14:02

I think it has something to do with now having soul possession of the channel changer.

hungryghost # 12. September 2007, 15:34

He who has the remote has the power! Let none gainsay this!

Mick-E # 12. September 2007, 19:24

Having the remote is great, though I question it's usefulness without a telly.

hungryghost # 12. September 2007, 20:04

this is true...but remotes can get out of hand. In my parents' house, my sister and I once gathered all the remotes together and counted them. 11 for various appliances including cameras and air-conditioners.....
