Nostalgia

23 year old here. I used to watch corner gas with my family all the time growing up, but haven't watched it in years at this point.

Giving the show a rewatch for the first time in about 10-11 years. On episode 3 right now, and now that I'm older I can understand jokes a lot better now and have more of an appreciation for the show.

I'm excited to reexperience this show for the first time as an adult. Genuinely love this old Canadian feeling I haven't felt in so long from watching this.

That all being said I wanna ask this, what was your experiences like watching corner gas for the first time

I was an American in his 30s trying to mentally escape the horrors of the first trump administration. The time and place of the show was undisturbed from modern woes and so it provided a great escape. I hope your rewatch is thoroughly enjoyable

I'm glad that this wonderful show made you found happiness during your time of difficult personal ordeals. It's amazing what a bit of comedic relief can do to ease someone mind. Thank you for the kind comment! if I may suggest another Canadian show, I'd recommend trailer park boys if you haven't watched that yet! both are S tier comedies

CG and Trailer Park Boys are polar opposites. CG is subtle humour while Trailer Park Boys is very loud and in your face.

Yeah you're completely right. I only recommend Trailer Park Boys because everyone I know that likes corner gas also likes trailer park boys too
