What season is being broadcast? The first 2 are the greatest but season 3 and 4 leave much to be desired.

They’re doing reruns of season 2 right now.

“I’m not gonna run over a kitty just to save your \*\*\*\*ing dope plants”

Season 3 and 4 has yet to be shown here.

I’ve watched one episode. Didn’t like it. It was interesting, though, to hear the Canadian accents. I’ve always associated trailer parks with the U.S.

Season 4 is my favorite. The one where Ricky has the community day and trashes Lahey’s new car is one of my fav tv moments.

It takes a few to grow on you. The first time I watched, I lasted 5 minutes. The seccond, I got through an entire episode. By the third, I was laughing out loud. I now own the DVDs of seasons 1 - 3.

My favourite episode so far is season three’s “If I Can’t Smoke And Swear, I’m @$%ed”

Sounds like my experience. I saw it the first time and said “What the \*\*\*\* is this?”. I sat there trying to figure out if it was real or not. Eventually I saw a couple more and for some reason I really like it now.

And the really strange thing is, I HATE Reality shows.
