Trailer Park Boys End Booze And Pot-Fuelled Run Next Month
November 18, 2008, 16 years ago
It's time to put down the rum and coke. Trailer Park Boys is coming to an end next month.
The Canadian mockumentary series - about the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents - will come to an end after seven seasons on Showcase.
Featuring the antics of the foul-mouthed Ricky, cat-loving Bubbles and the scheming Julian - who's rarely seen without a rum and coke - the show wraps up with a special, one-hour finale Dec. 7.
Series creator Mike Clattenburg says he's grateful to the dedicated fans who have made the show a success.
He says a Trailer Park Boys movie, tentatively titled, "Trailer Park Boys - Countdown To Liquor Day" - hits theatres in the fall of 2009.
Since it first hit the air in 2001, the series has grown into a ratings success and pop culture phenomenon, spawning a feature film in 2006 and numerous public appearances for the cast, who rarely give interviews out of character.
Over the years, the show has featured a string of cameos from famous fans including Alex Lifeson from RUSH, RITA MACNEIL, SEBASTIAN BACH, and actress Ellen Page.
Showcase says on its web page that a Trailer Park Boys marathon will precede the finale, featuring nine episodes chosen by Julian, Ricky, Bubbles and Clattenburg.
