Beginner’s Guide to ‘Trailer Park Boys’

April 2, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Splitsider:

The basic premise behind the mockumentary format is simple: After a fortune teller tells Julian that he’s going to die soon, he decides to hire a documentary crew to film his everyday life to later serve as a warning for anyone considering a similar life of drinking, drugs, and crime.

During the show’s run on Canadian TV from 2001-2007, most of the boys’ daily troubles revolved around getting away with petty crimes, drunk driving, and their evolving weed-growing and hash business without getting caught by alcoholic trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey (played by Canadian thespian John Dunsworth) .(…)

It’s brash, it’s full of F-bombs, and it takes Canadian-style white trashiness to the extreme.
