Corner Gas

One of the best episodes of this series. It is unfortunate that it was the series finale. As I said in my review, "You must find and view this one!" The end of the show tells the viewer what the future holds (held) for the characters. They each have a synopsis that is very true to each character, and in some cases, quite surprising.

When Corner Gas first started, I loved it, but I feared that it would end just as soon as it began. I figured that being a Canadian TV show meant its ultimate demise. Thank god that wasn't the case. Corner Gas set a standard for Canadian television that I honestly believe will never be matched. This final episode nearly had me in tears, but not in a bad way. I was sad to see it go, but glad it went on the top of its game. The finale was subtle, quiet, and prety much "about nothing", and I wouldn't want it any other way. That's what Corner Gas has been all about, so why end with a flashy bang? Brent Butt, and everyone else involved with the show, I give you a loving round of applause. The daily goings-on of Dog River will be missed, but never forgotten.

I have always found Corner Gas to be a really witty show, if not always a gut buster. I guess I was expecting the final episode to be a gut buster, though I don't know why...

The story line for the episode seemed almost like that out of a series in the midst of its run; not at the end of its run. I guess the difference is that this gem of a show went on its own terms, and the episode itself just shows that while life changes, even in Dog River, it does go on.

A classy, understated farewell Brent. Thanks for the comedy!
