A Disappointing Continuation
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreThis is an hilarious show. Fred Ewanuick is a very funny, likable person and that comes through in his character Dan, who basically starts running for Mayor in his community of Wessex as a joke with nobody expecting him to win, including himself. All of the character's are very likable, even the one's who aren't supposed to be likable are likable. Juggling his job as a bartender,his best friend (also a bartender) as his campaign manager, a shoe string campaign budget, his ex-girlfriend, his new girlfriend, his ex-girlfriends' new boyfriend, his new girlfriend's Aunt who does not like him and becomes his competitor for the job as Mayor and his own run for Mayor every episode has very funny moments and some twists and turns that you just do not see coming. Like a bus out of nowhere.Dan For Mayor kept me laughing and looking forward to each episode. Dan Ewanuick played Hank Yarbo on the CTV show Corner Gas before this and was very enjoyable as the second banana to Brett Butt's main character. In Dan For Mayor Fred holds his own as the top banana. He is very funny, witty and just great to watch. This is a very good show.By the way I have seen a few reviews that state this is just "Corner Gas" redux. I don't see it that way. You have a completelty different setting, the characters are not even remotely alike and the onlt thing that comes close are some of the 'flash" scenes but lots of shows do that. Some people are saying that Dan and Hank are the same but look at the differences; Hank had no job and did not seem to care to get one, Dan had a job as a bartender and then runs for Mayor. Hank had no girlfriend, Dan has an ex and a current in the first season then his ex comes back to him and they live together. Yes they are both laid back but Hank was more so than Dan. Also, on DFM, there is no Oscar, Emma, Lacey, Wanda, Karen, Davis, etc. The characters on DFM are completely different people. in conclusion this is not your "Corner Gas!"
View MoreThis is one of the worst shows on TV. I know that a lot of people were gaga over Corner Gas but this show just sucks! For one thing if they were going to do another show about Hank Yarbo from Corner Gas why not just keep doing Corner Gas instead? Because that show had other characters in it that were interesting and funny. Instead we have Hank Yarbo as Dan who runs for mayor despite the fact he's a drooling idiot to try to impress his ex-girlfriend. He's the same character! Also the other characters are all terrible and terribly acted, none of them are funny and the jokes are all terrible too. Wow what is coming to Canadian TV?
View MoreOnly the most die hard Corner Gas fan could possibly like this show.... I was a big Corner Gas fan and I can't even make myself get into this show at all. It is the same character as in Corner Gas so I am left wondering "Where is Lacy? Where is Brent? Where are Brent's parents?" it's like they gutted Corner Gas of all the stuff that maybe could have worked leaving us with just Hank the stupid guy but with no good characters for him to play off of this show is just pointless. The other characters are not performed very well, all the writing is predictable and the show just isn't very funny. Hank is too simple of a person to carry the show himself and the other actors just aren't interesting either. I give this show a big fail just like Hiccups which is also not a good show for many of the same reasons.
View MoreThis show is terrible. The acting is awful and the jokes are very bad.It is better than Hiccups because at least the story of Dan For Mayor seems on the surface like it would be interesting but there is nothing worth while about this show.First of all, Corner Gas was good for a couple seasons then went downhill real fast and just because a rehash of the same jokes and stories again and again. So it's kind of annoying that they immediately spun it off and gave the guy who played Hank his own show....where he STILL plays Hank! Seriously there is absolutely no difference between the characters in Corner Gas and Dan For Mayor. What is even the point of changing shows?The jokes are predictable and unfunny, I will not watch again and I'm not happy that based on the success of Corner Gas this show and Hiccups are both coming back.....why?!?!
