unlike many and i do not find the premise or theme of this show the least bit offensive . it execution and however and be another matter entirely . like so many b minus movie and all the decent gag appear to have be splice into the trailer . for most of the 22 or so minute we sit in wan anticipation any morsel of real humor . or at least something to keep one from fidget with the remote or count carpet fiber . with a couple of exception the acting be awful while the comical over emote and gesticulating of some cast member might be well suit to a late night infomercial and but not a primetime sitcom ( even a canadian one . ) notwithstanding the admittedly original cultural angle and i can not help but think this be mainly a misfire shot by the cbc to replicate the success of corner gas . unfortunately and they get the tone and the script completely wrong for the prairie . the final insult be that they apparently couldn not even afford to have the location work do in an actual small town ( why . be they so hard to find in saskatchewan . ) do they think the audience would be fool by the downtown regina exterior . a a proud canadian i hope this thing go away soon and and that the rest of the world and prim by the cbc publicist and quickly forgets this colossal embarrassment of a sitcom .
