Corner Gas

[sedated19]

has anyone watched the show corner gas yet? it's a blatantly canadian show about people in Red River, alberta I believe. It's pretty funny shit.

[Radiohead]

Best show ever.

 

First Non-Radiohead DVD I've ever considered purchasing.

i love the show.

 

i bought my parents season one on dvd for christmas. and it ends up with me watching it more frequently than them...

 

heh. i love how that works.

[rmak]

corner gas is not a movie. why is it in this forum?

[sedated19]

is there a forum for canadian shows....i don't see one!

[ecnarf]

It's not really that funny. It has its moments, yeah, but overall I could find better programming on, I think.

[Sparq]

Hm...didn't notice first time around, but rmak ha s apoint. Moving to Rentals, Television, and Readables.

[sedated19]

I stand corrected!

[Sparq]

I dunno, I just have a good memory for that kind of thing...just not for anything of importance.

If you've ever lived on the Prairies, chances are you get that show. I don't know what it's like if you've grown up in Toronto your whole life, but I'm sure at least some things still apply.

Agreed. I was raised in a town of no more than 500 people, and every time I watch that show, I can always relate a character to someone I know from back home. Definitely some Saskatchewan humour in there.

The cast of the show was the talk of the town(Regina) for a while, you'd see them around all the time.

its a good show, but as far as canadian programming goes, i've always preferred watching "made in canada".

I don't think I've ever cracked a smile while watching the show. And his stand up, honestly, the furthest thing from my cup of tea.

Made in Canada was hilarious. Rick Mercer is the man.

[CaptainRocket]

I dig the show, but I think that may be a Prarie thing.

Hey

 

I know Craig Northey does the opening theme song, "Not a lot goin' on"

 

 

But who does the closing theme? Or is it the same song?

 

if anyone knows that'd be appreciated.

[Matt]

Craig Northey is indeed the lead singer of the song, but the band/duo that performs it is "Northey Valenzuela". I saw the show last week (I think), and it was pretty funny, I liked how they kicked "The Tragically Hip" out of the garage, and Colin James wasn't good enough to play in the band.

where've you been, matt? you like take a hiatus from the interweb world? heh. lauren. interweb.

Found it, Craig Northey does the other song as well, called "my Happy Place" or something like that.

[Matt]

Radiohead, is the song by any chance, Northey Valenzuela's song "Halfway to Happy"?

Nah, it's not, I finally caught it in the credits, it's credited to Craig Northey alone and is called "My Happy Place".

 

You were right about the other one, it's credited to Northey and Venzuela

MASSIVE THREAD BUMP BATMAN!!

 

I love this show. It may not be a laugh-out-loud-a-second type show but it has its own charm and is a very cleverly done show. Very creative and plenty of subtle humour and most of all the cast and characters are fantastic and very relate-able. They have one of the best chemistries I've ever seen on a show. This is one of my very favourite shows ever.
