Anyone who gets the Showcase channel should watch Trailer
Park Boys on Sunday night. It's the story of two guys, Julian
and Ricky, who live in a trailer park and spend their time
holding up convenience stores and growing pot whenever they
aren't in jail. Their latest goal is "Freedom 35" a
retirement plan based on selling hash to prison guards. When
the series ended for this year, they are back in jail. One of
their buddies named Bubbles has survived for about 15 years
by stealing shopping carts from one supermarket, throwing
them down a ravine, and then repairing them and selling them
to another store. They continually outsmart the trailer park
manager and his assistant, who recently received a promotion
to weekend trailer park manager. Don't miss it; the dialogue
is outstanding and no description can do it justice.
