I really hate saying this about comedies but "this is a great little show". It actually reminds me a lot of Seinfeld in that it's really not about anything other than the people in it. The writing is above average as it relies heavily on snappy comebacks without sounding cliched. The situations are quite funny, some of the characters are a bit unrealistic (is there anyone dumber than Hank?)
That being said, it's just plain great entertainment. Highly watchable from the first to the last minute. It would be nearly impossible not to find at least one character in Corner Gas that doesn't remind you of someone you've known.
It's what I call relaxing comedy. It's not side-splitting but you do find yourself guffawing every once in a while mostly due to the consistency of the characters and the situations they either are placed in and most times they place themselves in.
I can honestly say that I watched every single episode prior to this review and if you're looking for light-hearted and with characters that are neither annoying or banal then it's required viewing.
