Dan for Mayor

This show is boring. The jokes are painful, it is even worse than the last season of Corner Gas where it was just in the same rut of doing the same predictable jokes again and again. First of all, the main character of Dan is basically just Hank without the baseball cap. I mean literally, he plays e x a c t l y the same character he did in Corner Gas except he is not wearing a hat. That is the only difference. He is a complete moron who has his head up in the clouds. The basic plot of the show has him running for mayor to try to impress people, then I guess it's supposed to be really funny because he is an idiot and screws things up. The supporting cast is also very bad but you can't blame them with material as bad as this. This show was a huge mistake and it's a toss up for me whether this is worse or Hiccups is, both of these shows are just awful.

Sorry but if I had to do a three word only review for this show it would easily be just a simply "it wasn't funny" and that is a really bad thing for a comedy show obviously. The characters were annoying and unbelievable, one or possibly even zero dimensions of depth to them, and nobody in the entire show could in any way tell a joke to make it funny at all.

The stories were stupid and this show was about one one billionth as interesting and funny as Corner Gas which I have to be honest is not saying much.

Why are comedy shows so much better in the states?

This show gets a big fail from me. The acting is terrible with unbelievable characters and the main character is just Hank from Corner Gas doing the exact same act that he was doing before, he is basically a big moron who is trying to do things he is too stupid to do. None of the characters are believable and this show is just a huge mess with nothing funny happening in it. I can't believe this show is even on TV in the first place it is so stupid and not funny at all. I have to write ten lines I guess so I will tell you I just bought a new goldfish because my last goldfish died he actually lived a real long time though for a goldfish so yeah.

I'm sad that I did not like this show more. I gave it enough of a chance it is the end of season one and I have seen every episode except one. The jokes in all those episodes have not made me laugh once and I find ever single character to be annoying and poorly acted. The most annoying thing to me is that Fred Ewanwuick has not changed his character one bit from when he was Hank on Corner Gas (sorry if I'm spelling it wrong but that last name's a tough one). I was a Corner Gas fan so even though I didn't think the previews for these shows made it look like they were very good, and even when friends told me Hiccups and Dan For Mayor were both terrible, I hoped my gut feeling was somehow wrong and I would like these shows. No such luck. Ever since episode one I have been very disappointed with both shows, equally disappointed in how bad and unfunny they are. The characters in both shows are just terrible! I can't believe they got a season two but I hope they can somehow turn both shows around so that they are good, I don't see how that's possible though even if they replace all the writers and start getting good writing like Corner Gas had the characters are a huge problem.

This 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?!?!
