The Trailer Park Boys may be over - or, at least they will be when the second feature film releases - but that can't keep Mike Smith, Robb Wells and JP Tremblay from warping young minds everywhere. Coming the fall of 2010 will be The Drunk And On Drugs Happy Fun Time Hour, created by and starring the Trailer Park trio. Just announced by Canuck cable broadcaster Showcase, the new show is being described as a 'narrative sketch' series and, yes, comparisons to the approach of The League Of Gentlemen are perfectly appropriate. Content? I quote:
Check the official announcement video (?) below.The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour opens as the boys 'wake up' after shooting has wrapped on their new TV series -- a children's show called The Happy Funtime Hour (stay with me here), filmed in the sleepy town of Port Cockerton. The production goes off without a hitch until RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson, hired to play a German scientist who teaches kids about nutrition, takes his role too seriously and assumes the personality of his character before turning evil and going on to synthesize and distribute a hallucinogenic drug from local blueberries.
Can't wait. Anything these guys choose to do next automatically gets the benefit of the doubt.
