There are too many classic lines over the course of the seven seasons of Trailer Park Boys to list. Too many classic lines, too many brilliant and memorable guest stars and secondary characters and hilarious moments. Thanks to Juno, the most famous person to appear on TPB was Ellen Page in Season Two - totally hilarious by the way. But also rock stars like Sebastian Bach, Gord Downie, Brian Vollmer and Alex Lifeson, and Rita McNeil made that one memorable appearance where she was forced (at gunpoint) to harvest marijuana.
There are too many fantastic plot lines - from Ricky’s marriage to Lucy in Season One to Ellen Page’s hero-worship in Season Two all the way up to the theft of Patrick Swayze’s model train in Season Seven. There really isn’t much to say about the show that fans don’t already know. For those of you who have, somehow, missed the entire seven season run of the show, here is what you need to know. Trailer Park Boys is the best show in the history of Canadian television. It is the funniest show and the most consistently excellent over it’s seven seasons.
The Complete Series of Trailer Park Boys comes out on DVD June 16th from Alliance Films. The box set is merely a re-packaging of the existing DVDs - the three-disc set of the first and second seasons, and then two-disc sets of seasons three through seven. So if you’re a fanatic, and you’ve already purchased all seven seasons, there is no reason to pick this up - no new special features, nothing extra. Well, there is one extra thing. An appropriately cheap-looking lunch bag with a huge marijuana leaf on the front. The DVDs come inside, and you can take them out and use the lunch bag for lunch. Although you probably shouldn’t send it to school with your kids…then again, your kids should probably not be watching Trailer Park Boys anyway. But everyone else should. This IS the best Canadian TV show ever.
