I hope everyone caught tonight’s episode of Corner Gas called ‘Block Party’.
Here’s the synopsis from the show’s website:
http://cornergas.com/episodes/?volume=12&issue=87
I was hoping they wouldn’t make fun of building with LEGO bricks, but rather
would have fun with the idea. And I think they did just that. The show was
great. Not a single mention of the word ‘legos’, but rather a lot of use of
“LEGO blocks” and even “LEGO bricks”.
Here’s a screenshot, again taken from the show’s website:
When Hank showed Brent the ‘almost’ completed version of his model I really
began to wonder if any adult fans had helped prepare for the show. It was a
very cool model and looked, at least to my eyes, like someone with lots of
minifig scale or train layout experience had helped build it. Anyone out there
willing/able to come forward and talk about being involved? Maybe they did it
themselves, but maybe they had help. It would be fun to know either way. :)
And then close to the end came a big surprise. Some LEGO animation. If you
missed this, you really missed not only a good Corner Gas episode, but an
excellent bit of brick parody. Again, it suggests to me some involvement from
the fan community but that’s just my feeling.
I hope lots of people saw the episode. Let us know what you thought!
All the best,
Allan B.
