This is without doubt the finest tv show i have ever seen.
The characters and the humour are unlike anything i have ever seen, and the mockumentary style, although used frequently over the years, is given a slight twist in this show as the "documentary makers" sometimes get in the way of the main characters schemes and plots.
Watching it introduces you to possibly the greatest televisual character ever, Bubbles (thats him on the right).This googily eyed, cat loving, go-cart driving, garden-shed living, AK47 firing, genius is the heart and soul of the show, acting as conscience and confidant to the shows 2 other main characters Ricky and Julian.
Set in a Canadian Trailer park, and spawning 7 series and 2 films, Trailer Park Boys shows the lives of these three men, who are the local hoodlums/criminals/drug dealers. Julian is the leader of the three, the father figure, who both creates the plans and acts as the level head to Ricky's madman. Ricky is the man who never got his grade 10, he is stupid, he has a kid, and he cannot stay out of trouble. It is hard to describe the show, so sorry for this lame attempt.
It is basically the modern day version of Blackadder, with Bubbles as Baldrick and both sides of Edmund Blackadder (the genius plan-maker, and inevitable plan-destroyer) are portrayed by Julian and Ricky.
YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHOW. It can be seen sometimes on Paramount in the uk on Sky, it can be bought on DVD from reputable retailers, or you might like to look here:
