Yes kids, its been 10 years since the boys debut on Canadian television. The show actually didn't start until 2001, but in '99 they release a made for TV movie which basically explained the Trailer Park Boys basics, kinda like a low-budget version of the first movie. I've been a huge fan of these dudes and think they are genius' for coming up with such a simple concept for a TV show with such a low-budget and succeeding enormously. Even though these guys probably wont be able to expand their acting careers with new characters, they should be damn proud of their accomplishments. With 7 seasons, a Christmas special, and 2 major movies under their belt, (one which was just released on DVD today) the crew will never be able to walk down any streets in Canada without being recognized. From Lahey's drinking binges and Randy's cheeseburger eating gut to Bubbles obsession with kitties and Ricky's Rickyisms. The show has kept us entertained for years and with that being said I crown Trailer Park Boys the title of Canadian comedy legends! I would seriously place them next to Kids in the Hall and SCTV for the greatest Canadian shows of all time...oh wait...and Degrassi..Har har!! Here's a short film that started it all....
