Trailer Park Boys: The Misadventures of Julian, Ricky and Bubbles

The popular Canadian television series ‘Trailer Park Boys’ was created by Mike Clattenberg and premiered on the Showcase television network in 2001. Although the show ended in 2007 after its 7th season, there were still some loose strings to tighten up. On December 7, 2008, a special entitled ‘Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys’ aired on Showcase. Finally, on September 25, 2009, the film ‘Countdown to Liquor Day’ debuted in Canada to wrap up the series.

‘Trailer Park Boys’ takes place at the fictitious trailer park of Sunnyvale, where the three main characters, Julian, Ricky and Bubbles, come up with new and often ridiculous ways to get rich so that they can retire as soon as humanly possible. Jim Lahey, the trailer park supervisor, and his assistant Randy, usually ruin the boys’ insidious plans and cause one or more characters to end up in jail. This comical scenario repeats itself throughout the run of the show.

Meet the Boys and their Domain

Julian, the leader of the trailer park boys, is often the one who devises and directs their ‘get rich quick’ schemes. He is somewhat educated, wears black clothes, and is always seen with a rum and coke in his hand.
Ricky, the troublemaker of the group, is totally irresponsible. He is usually seen drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana and cigarettes, and babbling something completely nonsensical.
Bubbles, the most responsible and innocent of the trio, is constantly trying to get his buddies Julian and Ricky out of trouble. He wears trademark large coke-bottle glasses, loves to take care of his kitties, lives in a shed, and fixes shopping carts for a living. Bubbles from ‘Trailer Park Boys’ is perhaps the most popular character on the show.

Other Important Characters in ‘Trailer Park Boys’

Jim Lahey, the trailer park supervisor, is an alcoholic who enjoys foiling the boys’ plans, and relentlessly tries his best to land them back into prison.
Randy, the ‘shirtlelss’ assistant trailer park supervisor, makes it his life-long goal to impress Mr. Lahey in whatever manner he can imagine.
Sarah and Lucy, best friends, have both been in a relationship with Ricky at some point in their lives, with Lucy still somewhat attached as they have a child together.
J-Roc, a white rapper, is typically seen helping Julian, Ricky and Bubbles with their projects, at times purchasing for them the necessary equipment to execute their plans.
Cory and Trevor, the boys’ two lackeys, are mistreated by Julian, Ricky and Bubbles, and must carry out the dirty jobs that the boys do not want to do themselves.
