The life, or lack thereof, of a proprietor of a gas station, which is the only stop for miles around and a hub of action on the Canadian Prairies.
- Original title
- Corner Gas
- Storyline
- 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.
