Tuesday!

So my favorite Canadian show ever took its final bow last night. Corner Gas was simply brilliant. I wear my bias proudly, it took place less than fifty miles from my home town - hell, I'd been in the Dog River (Rouleau, Sask.) bar and recognized it from the first shot. It was full of jokes and phrases that I grew up with (give 'er snoose), and characters I knew.
Not sure what Brent Butt will do next, maybe nothing. But (!) he doesn't have to. He has made the ultimate Canadian TV show. Anyone who disagrees will have to meet me at the Ruby, and it won't be pretty.
I'm going to miss you guys.
Now here is a Rolling Stones Song (in a weird sort of tribute).
Ruby Tuesday
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday dont matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you...
Dont question why she needs to be so free
Shell tell you its the only way to be
She just cant be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost
At such a cost
Theres no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Aint life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you...

COME BACK!!!
The Corner Gas was a classic Canadian piece of cultural art! So dripping with Canadianism! Excellent casting choices! So simple yet so sharp & accurate to the culture. I don't watch much TV but can enjoy every minute of "The Gas". Please consider continuing this cultural gem.
Thanks so much to all who made it possible.
