But wait a minute, is Trailer Park Boys back?
It never ended my friend! Those guys are milking it for every cent they can.
Of course, it continues without Jim Lahey and Philadelphia "Phil" Collins. John Dunsworth (Jim) played an alcoholic so well that every time I saw him speak he always looked and sounded drunk even though he never touched the stuff. :/
