Very little could pull me out of a weekend away except for good news. And as news goes, this is pretty great.
Corner Gas is going to U.S. Tv, via the WGN Superstation.
The two-year, 88-episode deal with the Chicago-based network will make the series available in nearly 70 million U.S. homes beginning in 2007.

Canada's best show is finally getting the exposure it deserves. Nice.

I think it's fantastic! Now I can stop sending DVDs to all my friends down in the States. I was surprised to see how many other countries are airing the show ... the US is coming late to the party.
Way to go, prairie people!
Wow good on them!
I think Corner Gas has all the elements to take on a US audience.
I voted religiously for your blog in round one of the Canadian blog awards. That is while I was voting for my own (the stroumboulopouli) and insidethecbc and Rick Mercers and Matt Goods oh and radio three...
I am sorry to see I can't vote for you in round two..
sorry man! I tried.
Hey man,
This is great news. I'm happy, to say the least.
It's great to hear- a lot of really good people work on that show, and they work hard. Nice to see them get a little lime light too-
