When I first left a review of this show I was fairly unimpressed with it. However, since then I've forced myself to watched the entire Seasons 1-3 and I have to say it: man, was I wrong.
It grows on you. If you can get over the bad acting and the political incorrectness you'll find one hell of a show. As another reviewer said it's not an accurate reflection of life in a Nova Scotia trailer park: more like if you took the weirdest members of every trailer park in NS and put them together to dumb it up.
Some of the funnier aspects I've found have been Ricky's constant mispronunciations (there are at least then in every episode), Mr Lahey's constant sh*t analogies, and, of course, Bubbles, who makes even the bad episodes worth watching.
If you give it a chance you won't have a single favourite episode; more like a collection of favorite moments pulled from each ep. Whether it's J-Roc's identity crisis ("I hate to admit it ... I'm white"), Bubbles' dragging a drunken Ricky home in the back of his go-cart, or the visit from the hysterically creepy Bible Pimp, there'll be at least something that makes you giggle whenever you think of it.
All that said, BBC America can look forward to a few letters of mixed reactions, and Comedy Central can start kicking themselves for not being the first to snatch it up.

As a 25 year old, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and I'd recommend it to both parents and kiddies. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a natural when it comes to comedy, and I was laughing out loud at his performance through the entire movie. And, yes, it has a story to it. You might even get the sniffles when you watch.
The only problem I had with this film was the under-usage of Graham Green. He has maybe three scenes in the entire film, and says very little in all of them.
Nonetheless, it's a cute movie, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes animal movies.

I have absolutely no idea why people think this show is so great. It's not the content that makes it so bad, it's the acting of the lead character. Jean Paul Tremblay comes off like an oversized third grader trying to remember his lines in a Christmas pagent. Thank god for John Dunsworth and Jonathan Torrens, who are perfect as the crooked landlord and the dumb-as-dirt Eminem wannabe. All in all, it's a waste of time unless you're into the Jerry Springer type of humour.
