We just got into "Trailer Park Boys" on Neflix Instant.

It's incredibly funny seeing Canadians acting like "Good Old Boys" from the South.

Didn't think I'd like it ...but it's been a good watch. I also love that they are using the Jacques Tati Music from "Mr. Hulot's Holliday." Sets it up nicely for those of us who aren't into "rough stuff."


Check out the series here...if you think you might have an interest.

2. It's pretty hilarious - there's some great ad lib comedy happening in that series, I think.

true, it's not particularly expansive on the plots and after watching 60 episodes, it's a bit repetitive and formulaic. But c'mon, how can you not love the boys? Have you ever seen a character like Bubbles? At first, I thought he had some kind of handicap, but Mike Smith was apparently the sound tech in the beginning and got a chance to take Bubbles into the script. Interesting factoid - Ricky, the primary degenerate/instigator is related to Canada's PM Stephen Harper. One of my business partners is named Julian...he's also from Canada and he's always got a drink in his hand. His temperament is a lot like the character on TPB. Only real difference is his preferred drink is Scotch on the rocks instead of rum and Cokes. I know some people are put off by their brand of humor, but I guess I've lived a few of those moments in my own life and can appreciate the absolute absurdity of the whole circus that is Sunnyvale Trailer Park.

With regards to the opening music, I always thought it reminded me of the music in Twin Peaks...
