Due to this thread I also started watching Trailer Park Boys last week. I've only seen the first two episode and quite enjoying it so far. Two utterly fantastic lines:

 

"I want a new TV, I want a VCR, and I want my porn tapes replaced because those were the creme de le creme."

 

Lahey: Why don't you get a life, Rick? Why don't you go to community college like Julian here? Hey! I got a good idea! You could teach Living In A Car and Growing Dope 101!

Ricky: And you could teach how to get drunk, get fired from the police force, become a lousy trailer park supervisor that sucks, hangs around with a fucking idiot that doesn't wear a shirt and looks like a dick but thinks he looks good, 101.

Saw #4 and #5 of the Yank Inbetweeners last night. They were pretty much brand new episodes. One based around setting up a school "club" and the other around a slave auction and a trip to the Country club. From my massive knowledge of US high schools (i.e. Saved by The Bell), I know they are staples of Americana. they were both pretty good. #4 is probably the best so far with Will chasing a girl being the central theme and them doing a pretty good job of it. #5 had a couple of good gags but too much emphasis on an unfunny visual gag:

Still, a much better show than i thought it would be after the first one. I quite look forward to it now.

Just started series 2 of Trailer Park Boys. The expansion of Bubbles' shopping trolley obsession was ace as was focusing on Randy's idiot savant abilities with dealing with cops. Randy threatening the cat would have made the whole episode worthwhile on its own, though.

I like a lot of the comedies knocking about at the moment- Trollied, New Girl, Raising Hope, Moone Boy. All are well written and good ways to pass half an hour.

 

Gladders- I loved Trailer Park Boys back when they were first airing over here on Comedy Central. Not seen it for years though. Could never understand why so few people picked up on it- it was easily the funniest thing on TV for ages in the mid-2000s.

My brother became a big fan of it so I immediately became suspicious of it because his taste his usually shit. But when Butch started talking it up and it appeared on Netflix, I was always going to give it a shot. It really is great and does deserve wider recognition.
