Trailer Park Boys: Xmas Special

Ignore the 2 negative reviews. how anyone could not find this 46 mins. of the best TPB ever, is beyond me. great fun to see the origins of some TPB staples/relationships. also fun to see the park in a different season, w/sonw, etc. poignant too! some of the best TPB ever!

Love the TPB's but this was a lame episode. Didn't have the same feel that the series or the movie has. Looked like it was put together in a hurry. I didn't enjoy it at all. The so-called acting was awful. The cast appeared like they knew this was a money-grab of an episode to get to market quickly. I hope we don't have an easter special next because that will be it for me. The writing of this episode was definitely Mike Clattenburg's worst in the history of this show. The direction left a lot to be desired and I almost felt bad for the cast and crew of this weak attempt at a Christmas special. Like I said, I love the TPB's but this one goes to the trash bin.

Don't listen to Rusty Nails 30 review, if you are a true Trailer Park Boys fan, you will love anything and everything put on film with these guys.

( you can tell by Rusty Nails 30 review that he only saw season 1, so he is most likely not a true Trailer Park Boys fan to leave such a ridiculous and negative review)

I thought that this was a pretty good prequel but I did think that it answered to many questions that didn't need answers. I thought that the idea of the special taking place in 1997, before the series started was a great idea. My problem was that there was too much information given and we were told about the reason for almost everything that takes place in the park. I don't think that we needed to know why everything happens and how each detail of park life began.

I was very amused by the way that the park brings Christmas to life and the way that the park looks in the winter. The boys slipping and sliding in the snow and having problems driving in winter was great. I live in a place that has very long winters and I was very happy that the show was very true to how it really is to live in winter.

Poor Bubbles was probably my favorite part of the show, for those of you who haven't seen this show, I recommend that you see it for Bubbles if for no other reason.

I am a very committed TPB fan and own the first 4 seasons on DVD and as such I think that I am qualified to give you all my opinion.

I have to say once again that it was a great special but my intelligence was insulted slightly.

Thank you for listening.

The Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special is a prequel to the hit TV series, but was filmed in 2004 after season 4. Sunnyvale trailer park is getting ready for the holiday season and Julian's got a great idea to make money this Christmas, but Lahey is there as usual to spoil his fun. The special takes place before Jamie was J-roc, before Randy and Lahey were a couple, and before the shitmobile was missing a door. You haven't seen a male prostitute until you've seen Randy in his elf outfit. This show isn't for everyone but if you love to get drunk and laugh your arse off at a bunch of stoner Canadian's you will love this. It's perfect for entertaining friends at holiday.
