Corner Gas

Corner Gas is a Canadian situation comedy which airs on CTV and The Comedy Network. Deriving its name from the roadside gas station located in the fictional town of Dog River, the series revolves around life in small-town Saskatchewan. It has been compared to Seinfeld for its dry sense of humour and its plots that are "about nothing."
