Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggg . . .

GODDAMNIT!!!!

This show was one of the best things to come out of Canada in a while.

I'll admit, the new seasons kind of suck, but old school TPB is friggin golden.

Oh how I hate Harper

You mean the government was funding the show???
Well there's the problem in the first place.

Good art truly fetches it's own price. If it can't sustain itself, being the Canadian Icon it is, then maybe it's not so Canadian after all? Surely a program with good ratings would easily take in advertising revenue.

As you said the recent episodes weren't that good so maybe the creative juices were no longer flowing.

I watched some of the stuff on youtube and it's pretty damn funny. Maybe it needs to get out of the Canadian cage and come to the US market!!! People are looking for all things funny now and Canada has always been a great source of entertainment!!! Get in touch with Mr. Clattenburg, start a petition, start some social networking groups and get the series into the right hands that can make a good dollar with it.

Canuckistan has to get out of the frame of mind that the government owes the people & the arts. The CRTC is a protectionist pseudo communist scheme and should be laid to rest already. Privatize the entertainment industry there and you will be the new home of Hollywood.

The CRTC (commie FCC) is your problem, not your president/prime minister.

Another silly show that I have never heard of. Thank God I am not paying for cable. LOL

I live across the street from a trailer park and have never met any of the characters portrayed in the video linked above when I was over there. Tell me please that Canadian trailer parks are not really like that.

Edited to add that the trailer park across the street has lots of Canadians from October through April.

That's horrible news.
The Trailer Park Boys are timeless.

This is upsetting, after the TPB movie aired on Comedy Central, I downloaded all the seasons, great GREAT show.

Ahhh, tpb, you will be truly missed, I remember getting to watch a few episodes on BBC USA a few years ago, but with the editing on there, it almost seemed like a real documentery. I mean, I am from North Carolina and I see people who do that (growing dope, stealing power, scrap metal theft, living out of cars) everyday. Though to the person who wants to bring it here, no chance, they've tried petitioning Shotime and HBO to run it, because Showcase is owned by the same people and run many of the same series, but to no avail. I guess the last word will have to be "Corey, Trevor, come on smokes and chips".

I grew up in an American Trailer Park, and it was EXACTLY like this.

I'm assuming you meant own, instead of owe.

The Canadian government does NOT own me, and I don't know any other Canadians that do think the government owns them.

Then again, I live on the west coast, and we are a different breed than eastern Canadians.
