Popular comedian Brent Butt returns to small town Saskatchewan to the life he would have led had he gotten a real job – pumping 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 (Brent Butt), coffee shop proprietor Lacey Burrows (Gabrielle Miller) 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.
Corner Gas has seen its audience grow from the 1.2 million that it drew when it first premiered in January of 2004, to its record-breaking peak of 2.9 million viewers.
