Corner Gas

I came. I saw. I laughed ... a little. Although this episode was fine enough to be considered funny, it really is not up to the standards that I hold this show. That isn't to say it's not funny, just that it could have been funnier.



The major joke was supposed to be about Brent and Hank finding their old tree house. However, for me the major joke was the Lacey, Wanda, Karen and Davis side line. (Hmmm, ever notice all the five letter names?) You just knew that Wanda was messing with Davis' head and that the reason for her great escapes would be obvious. Frankly, I did not see Karen helping, but I did think she was abusing the system. It was still pretty good though.



It was really crazy though that when Wanda let Lacey take her down, Lacey didn't notice it was faked for her. Not that it really matters. It kind of made it funnier for me actually. They really did well with the two conversations at once bit too. That's actually hard than you think to keep going. I've been in conversations like that, and I find it hard to concentrate sometimes. But then, I'm a guy.



Lastly, we had the grand Dame (my words) of Saskatchewan, Shirley Douglas do a guest appearance. The last time I saw her she was at least 30 pounds heavier and 20 years younger on Wind at My Back. This is kind of funny, since she was supposed to be ancient in that show. But it looked good on her anyways. If you don't know who Shirley Douglas is, then you should find out.



Overall, an okay episode that was better than last week’s, but not as good as a few other episodes this season. I am looking forward to more good comedy as the season goes on.
