In the news: Trailer Park Boys say goodnight

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • Say Goodnight to the Trailer Park Boys
    “Ricky from Trailer Park Boys just might be the worst character in TV history. That’s discounting serial killers and cartoon villains, of course. But in the “regular guy” category, Ricky could be the worst. ‘That’s hilarious,’ said a laughing Robb Wells, who plays Ricky. ‘I never really thought of it like that.’” Read more.

In the news: Update on Cock’d Guns

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star (second item):

  • Why I now hate Kath & Kim
    “I also, in the same context, recommended the rock mockumentary Cock’d Guns, showcased on the very same Showcase channel. That is, until a couple of weeks ago, when it was pulled only nine episodes into its season, ironically (or not) to add a Friday-night repeat of Showcase original Testees. .” Read more.

In the news: Canadian comedy going strong

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Plenty of promise in new Canadian TV comedies
    “I mean, how do you replace a Trailer Park Boys? In fact, there is Showcase’s thrice Gemini-nominated Cock’d Guns, a similarly deadpan rock twist on the same mockumentary style. On the other hand, if you related more to Trailer’s taboo-toppling vulgarity, you need tune no further than the same cable channel’s new and resolutely rude Testees, which has thus far made the Boys look more like altar boys.” Read more.

For all intents and purposes, Ricky, Julian, Bubbles and the gang should be around in various forms long after the television premiere of a one-hour finale special on Dec. 7 at 11 p.m. on Showcase.” Read more.
