best ten seconds of my life...
bah, aside from the hip being on it, the show sucks, it has absolutely NOTHING on Trailer Park Boys.

And it's potentially intended for a completely different audience. (C'mon. My mother likes to watch TV, too.)
I find
Corner Gas a bit uneven, but when it strikes me funny, it really strikes me funny. I'd watch it more if it wasn't on directly opposite Rick Mercer these days--damn you,
American Idol!
Don't forget Collin James I thinkhe probably bumped up the numbers. :lol: Nothing against Colin James.
Did any one notice Sinclair sitting in the audience of the band ( stars of show's band) right at the end of the show. I think it was him. I didn't notice any of the other guys.

I thought I saw him, too!
It was cool to see them but come on - I think Brent could have given them a little more airtime and lines. Way too short...

Thats awesome! I love Corner Gas, its my favorite new tv show, and I hate most tv shows today. I have found with Corner Gas and guest spots, they tend to be short, for whatever reason Im not sure, but most guests dont get much for air time, the curling episode with those 2 canadian champs, (sorry I forget the names) they only had like 10 seconds, same with others, so I wasnt expecting a big spot by the Hip, hoping yes! But hey it was still a good episode IMO. Love TPB's as well but as someone pointed out, not the same demographic for sure.
I think this is one of the funniest Canadian comedies of all time. Usually there is something on each episode I find absolutely hilarious. Last night the flashback they had about what they would be doing if they still had the band, I couldn't stop laughing. Or the part where the girl gets her bra strap caught in the bass, maybe its just me, I laughed my head off.
Beyond that, Lacey and the girl cop (Karen?).......hot hot hot.............
It wasn't Sinclair in the audience.

Not to be a pig but...If any of you guys have the hots for Karen (Tara Spencer-Nairn), you should maybe go rent (if you can find it) the movie Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled. :thumb:
that sounds like horrible movie...but...*in best butt-head voice* uhhhhhh huh-huh, does she get neked?
I love 'Corner Gas' too, even before I heard the Hip were going to be on it. I think it is just sooo funny, and sooo Canadian.
As for the Hip being on it...well, I wish they could have been on there a little longer too. Oh well.
Cool to hear them garage Nashville though.
Corner Gas rocks and always has, hell even my mom likes it.
I'm pretty sure The Boys were playing the bridge in Nashville when Brent opened the garage door.
And Tara Spencer-Nairn is definitely hot. Rub N Tug played alot on Movie Central last year and I just saw The New Waterford Girl on Bravo - both great Spencer-Nairn movies. I'll have to check out Wishmaster.
