Five Reasons To watch Trailer Park Boys
1:Bubbles
In many ways Bubbles is the heart of Sunnyvale. By far the most intelligent and observant of the shows ensemble cast of characters
Bubbles is the glue holding the trailer park troupe together.
A kind, loyal and protective friend, Bubbles motives are almost always selfless. He also has a love of 'kitties'.
Over the course of the series Bubbles comes to realise that family are the people you surround yourself with, the ones with whom you share your life and is eventualy able to move past his childhood abandonment issues.
'Here's what I know, Rick. If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, you own it. If it doesn't, you don't own it. And if it doesn't you're an asshole, just like you.'
2: (officer) Jim Lahey
Jim lahey is Sunnyvales resident trailer park supervisor, who along with his assistant trailer park supervisor (and lover) Randy attempts to curb what he sees as 'The Boys' criminal influence over his beloved trailer park.
Lahey is the perfect anti hero, he is the joker to the boys Batman. He is an essential part of the shows dynamic. Without the boys Lahey is nothing and vice versa.This on going battle forms the shows core story line.
The range of situations which arise between Lahey and the boys are complex, moving between childish pranks, petty crime and even attempted murder to times of peace and cooperation between the supervisor and his unruly residents, although such times are short lived due to Lahey's recurring alcoholism.
'Who is this park, or even in the whole world, doesn't have problems? Who doesn't have a drink too many times once in a while and maybe even winds up passed out in their own driveway, pissing themselves? Who doesn't drink too much sometimes or who doesn't have a puff from time to time? And who doesn't have problems with the people they love? This is our home. This is our community.'
