Trailer Park Boys is bad. Someone once defended it by telling me that if I keep watching, "The jokes get really funny around season 5, but you need to have watched the previous 4 seasons to get them." I'm not watching 5 years worth of TV for Stockholm syndrome.

i saw the first episode of trailer park boys and it was really unfunny. i thought it was just a fluke and maybe it's one of those shows that just sucks in the first few seasons so I skipped to some episode in season 7 i think and some fat guy with a fake lisp was burning some stuff because of something about a driveway and the joke was they were doing it late at night and they woke some guy up and he told them to knock it off he was sleeping

bad show

Robo regan you see the problem with trail park boys is it isn't a sitcom. Its a reality TV show. When you realize this it becomes a lot more hilarious.

A good deal of the charm of trailer park boys comes from familiarity with the characters, so your strategy of skipping seven seasons missed the point pretty hard.

Also the best episodes are somewhere in the middleish I forget where, season 7 was pretty weak.

If your post means you have watched more than one episode ever of Little Mosque on the Prairie, it means you are the only person I have ever come across that has ever done that.

Am I the only one going to stand up for Royal Canadian Air Farce (up until the cast changed)? That was close to a decade of good stuff until they weren't just the main four. Roger and John being dead now sucks balls.

Also:

-Red Green, before Harold moved to the city
-the Anti-Gravity Room needs to come back


Yep. Our terrestrial rock radio stations STILL won't knock it off.

If I hear "Wanna be a rock star" once more, I think I'll have to shove ice picks in my ears. At least they nudged me into getting satellite radio.

Today's Special? It had the first parody I had ever seen and it blew my mind. They were doing a play of Little Red Riding Hood, but at the end they all fought the wolf with LIGHTSABERS. Can you imagine the transgressive thrill?

Polka Dot Door was bullshit because the other one never got to meet Polkaroo because she was wearing the costume. I figured that poo poo out at five.

Yes, also Mr. Dressup (the show anyway, the man himself was American). And there's children of children who are watching the same Fred Penner stuff, so I guess that is a success. Sharon, Lois and Bram too.

And holy poo poo, apparently Sharon, Lois and Bram are all now in their 70s. Friendly Giant and Mr. Dressup are dead. Penner is in his late 60s.
