Trailer Park Boys: The Complete 1st and 2nd Seasons

My husband and I stumbled across this show and are now lifelong fans. What it is about these ex-cons from Nova Scotia that is so funny, we haven't quite figured out. However, there are a few episodes in Season 2 that had us laughing for hours and discussing for days.The writing gives each character a "real" personality. No one is the hero or the villian, they are each just trying to make their way in the world, however misguided and illegal, at times. The ensemble cast plays off one another and each actor gets "their" moment across episodes. In season 2, a very young Ellen Page has a recurring role.This show aired on Canadian television, I believe, but is NOT for children. The langauge is foul and the themes are adult, including drugs, sex, violence, and criminal behavior.I will not rate the special features, because I did not watch them. Some episodes have commentary, but I have yet to watch those. The only downside to this collection is that the first two seasons are short, I'd love to see more. The series does continue for several more seasons, with two feature-length movies, and a Christmas prequel.

Just when you think TV comedy is dead, something comes along to make you change your mind. Like the original "The Office", "Trailer Park Boys" shows up in mock reality style and there the similarities end. The first two seasons exhibit that sort of newness and surprise that makes for priceless entertainment. The story lines, characters and their interactions are almost hard to believe. What can you say about a show with a character named Ricky telling his best friend Julian "I love Lucy" after Lucy has made a pass at Julian? Or Bubbles making his living by restoring stolen shopping carts and, when facing jail time, asks the sincere and poignant question, "Who's gonna look after my kitties"? As preposterous as the people and the situations become, the lads hold it all together with flawless comic logic that usually ends in hilarious parodies of typical TV style, not unlike South Park's addiction to "I learned something today ..." closings. But of course, no-one has or ever will learn a thing. Unapologetically lovable and offensive adventures in love, friendship, gunfights, growing dope and getting drunk. If you haven't visited the Sunnyvale Trailer Park yet, get over there ASAP. And bring a few smokes.

I was introduced to the Trailer Park Boys by renting the movie last year. We knew then we had to start with the series. This series opens with Ricky and Julian getting released from jail, and returning to good ol' Sunnyvale trailer park, let the havoc begin. I love Bubbles and all his kittys! It's pretty sad and hysterical that the guy who lives in a shed,in a trailer park has the most common sense. I am looking forward to buying all the other seasons. Give it a chance, if you possess a sense of humor you will laugh your a$$ off!*trivia note: "Juno" fans will find a younger Ellen Page in it.

It's Trailer Park Boys! If you don't know who these guys are then you should because they're flipping hilarious! It does take a particular type of sense of humor to appreciate them, but if you have that type of funny bone these guys will have you laughing for hours and you'll find yourself watching them repeatedly. I own every episode and every movie they've done for exactly that reason, they're awesome dumb humor for those times you just want a dumb laugh with characters you'll get attached too. 5 Stars, two thumbs up!

This is by far the most accurate documentary of Canadian day to day life that I have ever seen. It shed a new light on the plight of the every day Canadian.

Got turned on to them before they became popular. Worth watching just for the Ricky-isms. A totally original series if you open your mind to their world - dope growing, drink swilling, shopping cart restoration and trailer park living rules and characters. Kinda the Three Stooges reinvented for the 21st century.

Best show ever

A gift for my boyfriend... this is the greatest series of all time!!!! He loved it!!!

Many thanks will watch soon.

Bought for my husbands birthday. He was thrilled to receive and Im glad I was able to find it for him

Got this for my dad for Christmas and he really enjoys it. Disks work fine and packaging is secure. Came quickly too!

One of the funniest series I have ever seen. These first episodes are maybe the best of the bunch. Well worth it.

The boys are always great.
