Show Summary

  • Ended
Trailer Park Boys is a series about love, friends and family - or perhaps it's about everything that can go wrong with love, friends and family.

At the centre of Trailer Park Boys are Ricky (Robb Wells) and Julian (John Paul Tremblay), two guys whose lives were shaped by their experiences growing up in the Trailer Park. Their childhood was typical of most trailer park kids - stealing, fighting, smoking, drinking, scamming and listening to Van Halen. The Boys have had their share of trouble with the law.

Most of their adult lives have been spent behind bars of one kind or another. In fact, as the inaugural series begins, both Ricky and Julian are getting out of jail. Ricky and Julian blame each other for this most recent incarceration and, now, as Julian prepares to start all over again, he refuses to talk to Ricky. Julian wants and tries throughout the series to go straight - but old habits die hard. And that's just fine with Ricky. And this is what starts all the crazy events that takes place in the mocumentary-comedy of Trailer Park Boys.moreless

    I love watching Red Green. How I missed this Canadian series astounds me. I'm in northern Minnesota, you'd have thought I'd have heard about it. Within a day of watching a few episodes, I ordered every dvd of the series. Tv, and movies. I know people who live in trailer parks who emulate the cast of Trailer Park Boys. They were playing the parts 30 years ago, and they didn't realize someone would make a movie about it someday. I thoroughly have enjoyed watching this series. And I will be having showings of it for my friends . They'll have to leave the guns, and drugs at the door. Fun show, thanks, StreetRoddermoreless

    At first, I was skeptical of this crude, cheaply-made Canadian mockumentary focused mainly on the lives of three friends who are constantly concocting get rich quick schemes. The three main characters, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles come together and become a forceful comedic trio as the show progresses. Having the characters be so different leads the show to never have a dull moment. A must watch for anyone who enjoys adult-oriented humor.moreless

    The best show in my opinion to come out of Canada. The show follows Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles who are always in and out of jail. Ricky is a marijuana grower and dealer, Julian, a person always looking to get rich fast, and always has an alcoholic drink in his hand, Bubbles who loves cats, and is a very lovable person. The show also Has Mr.Lahey the trailer park supervisor, an alcoholic, and later a cop once again, and Randy a cheeseburger addicted weekend trailer park supervisor. The show is going to be one of Canada's classic comedies, and i suggest you see it.moreless

    Like most people when I first saw this show I thought it was just another mindless low budget comedy series aimed at the dim-witted pot smokers among us. Then I watched it more and became mesmerized by the underlying brilliance, everything was not as it seemed, from the beautifully languid intro music, to the ingenious documentary style of filming. Much like SCTV, it uses the low budget quality of the show, and turns that into a bonus. THe shaky hand-held camera, the occasional boom mic shot all blend perfectly with the mostly improvised dialogue. There's something uniquely Canadian about this, making the best out of the fewest resources, and it demonstrates the greatness of the show that it does not need huge production values to make you laugh your ass off. And laugh you will as you watch the main characters, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles stumble their way through life. We have all met people like this, much like in the movie "Fubar", people who are completely ignorant and emotionally underdeveloped, yet very much content with their position in life. Both Fubar and TPB, the key is not to make fun of these people in a condescending way, look equally at their naive stupidity but also at their loyalty and innocence and genuineness.moreless

    This is an insult to Canadian Television(and that's saying something!)The mindless drivel seen on Trailer Park Boys is enough to make you long for reality television. It is probably the worst show on tv. Just watching it makes you feel like your brain cells are dissintigrating! Please don't watch this offensive, pathetic attempt at humor and originality. The sooner it gets cancelled, the better.
