Who Knew Wise County and Canada Had So Much in Common?


Trailer Park Boys is greatness from the great white north. They've been around for quite a while but the series is finally getting some serious exposure south of the border thanks to DirecTv's 101 Network.

The Boys have been around since 1999 when director Mike Clattenburg teamed up with Julian and Ricky played by John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells and they made a low budget pilot movie. Think "My Name is Earl" without all the good intentions. That launched the hit series in 2001 and Mike Smith joined the cast as "Bubbles". In 2006 they hit the silver screen with "The Big Dirty".

The Boys have just released their swansong film "Countdown to Liquor Day" to rave reviews in Canada. No news on when it will be shown below the border. But you can see the trailer right here on The South 40.



TV Episodes can be seen on DirecTv's 101, YouTube and Hulu.
