My prescription for these tense, combative times is the series CORNER GAS. [View all]

I think I've seen the series front to back twice, as well as the movie, so I'm on my third run.

ALL of the cast members were EXPERTLY chosen.

Just saw a scene where Oscar is complaining about the thermostat being set at 72.

He's gasping and panting as he says "It's like a SAUNA! It's like AFRICA! It's like a sauna IN Africa!"



It's what I'd call gentle, good natured humor. And yeah, some of the characters get selfish and insensitive at times but that's real life. It's never pre-meditated of mean-spirited.

It's on Amazon WITH commercials and on Roku's Howdy channel WITHOUT. I'm a without commercials guy.
