Trailer Park Boys
This show is Canadian. This show is old. I'd never heard of it until I heard an interview with one of the cast. I went and found Season 1 on the Internets. Like BBC seasons, each season is six episodes. I blasted through the first season and am on Season 2 now. The show begins with two guys who get out of prison in Nova Scotia and go back to their trailer park. They spend the rest of the season trying to regain control of their domain. It's deadpan comedy, shot like a mockumentary. It's pretty funny. Some of the acting isn't the best, but maybe it gets better after the first season. The main character Julian is the "brains" - alway carries a drink. Ricky is...well, Ricky. I've known people like him. Scary...He has a Jedi way with the law. Bubbles...lives in a shed and is the most balanced of the group. Ellen Page (from Juno) comes in in Season 2 in the role of the Trailer Park Manager's daughter.
There are seven seasons total. Here's some of the titles from Season 1:
Season 1, Episode 1: Take Your Little Gun and Get Out of My Trailer Park
Original Air Date—22 April 2001
Childhood friends Ricky and Julian are released from prison after eighteen months and return to their trailer park home to find it taken over by a gun toting moron named Cyrus. Julian, determined to go straight and clean up his life vows not to hang around with Ricky anymore, who he holds responsible for him being sent to prison. All this is chronicled by a production crew filming a documentary about Julian's life.
Season 1, Episode 2: Fuck Community College. Let's Get Drunk and Eat Chicken Fingers
Season 1, Episode 3: Mr. Lahey's Got My Porno Tape!
Season 1, Episode 4: Mrs. Peterson's Dog Gets Fucked Up
Season 1, Episode 5: I'm Not Gay, I love Lucy. Wait a Second, Maybe I am Gay
Season 1, Episode 6: Who the Hell Invited These Idiots to My Wedding?
Who knew the Canucks were so funny...
