From the Vancouver Sun:
- Trailer parks cool now, thanks to ‘the boys’
“Co-stars, in town to promote their book, swear the series is family fare, like ‘Little House on the Prairie from Hell’ “
In the news: Trailer Park Boys
Everything about Trailer Park Boys, eh?
Trailer Park Boys returning
From Jim Bawden of the Toronto Star:
- Hot Box – TV to talk about
“When Trailer Park Boys debuted on Showcase, all the attention went to rival Paradise Falls, which has been gone several seasons. But TPB keeps chugging along with 10 new episodes ready to start April 8 at 9 p.m. With a movie under their collective belts and a book about to be published, what’s next? Their own brand of trailers? Cookbook? The opportunities seem limitless.”
In the news: Trailer Park Boys movie, DVD, series
From the Toronto Sun:
- Trailer Park Boys dopey, lovable: Movie a release worthy of high marks
“Trailer Park Boys is pure Canadiana, Wells says. ‘It’s definitely true to Canada as far as humour goes.’ But he confesses that, despite the appeal of the show nationally, it goes down best in the Atlantic provinces.”
In the news: The economics of Canadian TV
From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail, also includes blurbs on tonight’s Rick Mercer Report and This Hour Has 22 Minutes:
- A cold, hard reason to stand up for Canadian TV
“In this climate of cultural snobbery, I suspect that the best argument in favour of the survival of the Canadian Television Fund is economic, not intellectual.”
In the news: Trailer Park Boys interview
From Playback, mostly about the DVD of the movie but also about the show:
- Trailer Park Boys talk DVD, dream jobs, and Jim Shaw
“Can you give us a little sneak peak into the new season?
Ricky: We take on our biggest job of all time, and we actually have a bit of success for a change.
Julian: Yeah, I come up with a pretty good way of making some money… and we don’t get caught.
Bubbles: The two of them are up to their usual shit. I’m just trying to keep them out of jail mostly.”
