Forty kilometres from nowhere and way beyond normal is Corner Gas, CTV's new 13-part, ensemble comedy series about a bunch of nobodies who get up to a whole lot of nothing in the fictional prairie town of Dog River, Saskatchewan.

Corner Gas focuses on the life (or lack thereof) of Brent LeRoy, proprietor of a gas station that is the only stop for miles around and a hub of action on the Prairies. As LeRoy, Canadian Comedy Award winner and series creator Brent Butt returns to his native province to portray the life he would have led had he gotten a real job: pumping gas in a small prairie town.

Dog River is a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. Populated by a group of regular folks, the town's many "distinguished" residents include Brent's parents Oscar and Emma (Eric Peterson and Janet Wright), coffee shop owner Lacey Burrows (Gemini nominee Gabrielle Miller), his best friend Hank Yarbo (Fred Ewanuick), police officers Davis Quinton (Lorne Cardinal) and Karen Pelly (New Waterford Girl’s Tara Spencer-Nairn) and retail assistant Wanda (Nancy Robertson). The series features guest stars including Kevin MacDonald (Kids in the Hall), Mike Wilmot, Peter Oldring and Julie Stewart with cameos by Pamela Wallin, Colin Mochrie, Dan Matheson, Darren Dutchyshen, Jennifer Hedger and the Canadian Idol judges.

"With genuine characters and a gentle pace, Corner Gas is a comedy that is instantly likeable," said Susanne Boyce, CTV's President of Programming and Chair of the Media Group. "Brent Butt is one of Canada's most respected and funniest comedians for a reason: he has broad appeal and a generous comedic approach."
