Trailer Park Boys are Canada's most beloved miscreants from a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Robb Wells (Ricky), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) have created loyal and loveable characters on their television series and their message has spread globally. Over the past 18 years “The Boys” have garnered much press and gained a hardcore following of fans. Originally, the concept of Trailer Park Boys began as a short film starring John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells, which debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival. The premise: a camera crew chronicles the boys’ adventures living in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 11 seasons, three feature films and multiple live specials later, the camera crew continues to follow Bubbles, Ricky and Julian. In 2016, Netflix released an 8-part special, Trailer Park Boys Out of the Park: Europe, following their adventures in London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and Amsterdam. The brand has escalated to new heights when Netflix picked up the television series starting with Season 8. 2015 saw the launch of the Trailer Park Boys podcast on iTunes, where it was nominated for the Best Of iTunes and had over 1.2 million downloads. Live tours continue to sell out across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. In October 2016, The Boys released a new special for Netflix entitled "Out Of The Park Europe," which chronicled their adventures throughout London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and Amsterdam. Alongside this success, Wells, Tremblay and Smith launched Swearnet.com - their uncensored online comedy network. Fans include Jimmy Kimmel, Snoop Dogg (who makes an appearance in Season 10), Axl Rose, Billy Bob Thornton, Noel Fielding, Verne Troyner, Rival Sons and Rush. Trailer Park Boys are here to stay and we can't wait to see what else is in store… FEBRUARY 2018 .

The Global Television Demand Report Q2 2019 Copyright © 2019 Parrot Analytics. All rights reserved. Executive Summary April – June, 2019 • In the second quarter of 2019 Netflix remains the clear global market- leading platform based on demand for original productions. • The service has captured 62.6% of all demand for digital original series in over 100 markets analysed for this report, down 3.1% from its Q1 result of 64.6%. • We speculate that Netflix’s global demand share trend will likely reverse in the third quarter due to the global impact of Stranger Things season 3. • The number of competitors offering original series is growing and this is being reflected in the fragmentation of consumer attention: 10.3% of the global share of demand is for originals from smaller, specialist and local SVODs. This is 2.5% more than in the first quarter of 2019. • In the action/adventure genre of four markets, DC Universe Originals have more demand share than Netflix Originals. However, Netflix Originals still dominate the important drama genre. • This quarter’s most demanded subgenre is sci-fi drama, which was the largest subgenre in five markets. Superhero series was a clear second for markets in this report, with crime drama and comedy drama also in Stranger Things Lucifer Star Trek: Discovery Black Mirror demand across all ten markets.

The “Still Drunk, High and Unemployed Tour,” finds the Trailer Park Boys having answered to the law in the “Community Service Variety Show” preaching the dangers of substance abuse to avoid jail time. The crew is now on the road without parole officers and Bubbles tries to create a new career for himself in the movie industry, Julian puts his latest money-making scams into action and Ricky has an idea that can “change the world!” Trailer Park Boys are Canada's most beloved miscreants from a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Robb Wells (Ricky), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) have created loyal and loveable characters on their television series and their message has spread globally. Trailer Park Boys began as a short film starring Tremblay and Wells, which debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival.

Carnival, Spectacle, and the Curious Case of Trailer Park Boys1
Wild Bodies and True Lies: Carnival, Spectacle, and the Curious Case of Trailer Park Boys1 Patricia Hughes-Fuller Athabasca University Abstract: The Halifax-based TV series Trailer Park Boys shares some of the characteristics of reality television, yet at the same time contrives to present a vision of society that is significantly different from that of shows like Survivor. By theorizing reality television in terms of spectacle versus carnival, this chap- ter argues that neo-liberal-inflected, transnational “game-doc” shows and the Canadian mockumentary Trailer Park Boys invite us to construct the real in qualitatively different ways. Keywords: Cultural analysis; Mass communication Résumé : La télésérie d’Halifax Trailer Park Boys partage certaines des carac- téristiques de la télévision réalité, tout en présentant une vision de la société qui diffère considérablement de celle d’émissions comme Survivor. Cet article, en recourant au contraste entre spectacle et carnaval, soutient que le faux documen- taire canadien Trailer Park Boys nous invite à construire le réel d’une manière qualitativement différente par rapport aux nombreuses émissions « docu-jeux » transnationales aux consonances néolibérales. Mots clés : Analyse culturelle; Communication de masse Introduction In the summer of 2000, to quote journalist and television critic Scott Feschuk, “North America could not avert its eyes from the doughy, digitally-blurred but- tocks of Richard Hatch, the dastardly schemer who . waddled away with inter- national fame [and] a million dollars” (Feschuk, 2003, p. 99). Hatch acquired wealth and achieved celebrity by virtue of being the long-awaited first winner of what, according to some, is the definitive reality television show, Survivor.

Possibly, if you’re reading this in the morning somewhere, I’ll be having breakfast at Smitty’s, which is kind of obligatory. Then a rush of interviews, visits and asking nosy questions. There are several series closely associated with this neck of the woods – This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Mr. D, Trailer Park Boys, to name just a few. At this minute I can’t say exactly what will unfold on my visit here. But there is news to report.
