Best News I Have Heard For A While

I took some pride when Red Green made massive inroads into the culture of our neighbors to the south and I take the same level of pride that those same neighbors will get an insight into the real Canada. Maybury move over........

Congrats to all!

Corner Gas heads to America

Globe and Mail Update

Millions of American households will soon get a taste of what (little) goes on in the fictional prairie town of Dog River, Sask., a blink-and-you'll-miss-it spot inhabited by nobodies in the middle of nowhere.

Friday, CTV's hit comedy Corner Gas — created by its producer/star Brent Butt — was picked up by Chicago-based cable network Superstation WGN, which will broadcast the show beginning next year into nearly 70 million homes.

In a release, Butt said he's thrilled that the program flow is heading south. “We get so much American programming up here in Canada, it's nice to be able to give a little something back. Something besides Celine Dion, I mean.”

Corner Gas is the top-rated Canadian show (outside of news and sports), consistently ranking in the Top 20 shows this season according to BBM Nielsen Media Research.

See you at the Ruby......
