Ok i thought of a legit reason to hate TPB that i think you can all sympathize with :o

growing up in a smaller town my tv options were restricted, as well as internet, I was basically given 30 channels. Out of all these channels showcase became my favorite when i was about 16. Back then friday nights on showcase was the "Late Revue". I'm not sure if anyone remembers it, but it was movies, more specifically erotic, foreign movies. Through this i became familiar with a lot of movies that today i still have respect for, it introduced me to Emmanuel and Jess Franco, as well as more modern classics. These movies, being the age that i was had a huge influence on who i became in far of my views of sexuality, and respect for women. It showed women as powerful (ans generally hairy) an archetype which is not shown in porn, which kids of that age now easily consume.

With trailer park boys quickly came the fall of the late revue, it was pushed back at first time slot wise to make space for trailer park boys, and then with the success of the show it soon destroyed the late revue as showcase started to run reruns of trailer park boys much into the night.

i think this is better reason to dislike the show, i wish i made this my argument but it only occurred to me when i was remenicing about this the other day.

it is more so the reason why i disliked the show.

Like ot's TPB's fault that Showcase decided to change their programming? Perhaps they did so because they discovered that only you and one other guy were watching.  lol

That's not a legit reason to hate the content within Trailer Park Boys. It is more or less a reason to hate Showcase if anything.

You can't hate that way, Ghostea. Nope. It's not allowed. I saw bits and pieces of Trailer Park Boys... It's not something I would actively seek out. Thanks, OJ.

I used to watch the showcase revue when I seen something horror-oriented.  :/   Caught Perdita Durango and Day of the Beast on there one night . :thumbs:

I've only watched one episode of TPB; where they were throwing barbecues into a lake/pond or something.  It didn't keep me interested.

OK i agree it's not a legit reason in retrospect but try telling that to a 16 year old boy who just got his only source of pornographic material taken away from him.

OJ, you should be honored to hold something with such little following so dear. But watch Crash, damnit. and down with Skinny Puppy/oHgr. Down, I say.
