Just finished watching Trailer Park Boys. I never watched it while it was on, because, well...it was Canadian. Have to admit though, that was some funny shit. One of the best comedy series I've seen for a while. Going to DL the movie too. Hopefully it will be as good.
On a side note, I also found out the guy that played Bubbles (Mike Smith) was in a pretty good Canadian rock band called Sandbox...

Flashpoint can be decent but it's very Canadian in it's presentation .
To whit....
They still kill people but then they need to apologize.Perps are people too.

Wow, a cop show without perps. A TV drama with guns and not 'necessary' evil. Moral, caring cops with emotional consequences. Explosions, when all else fails.
I like 'The Unit' (also on CBS) when it addresses the egregious use of force needed to defend against force and the guilt that comes from fighting evil with evil actions. They have their moments of destruction far from home and leave the guilt for later (when they are home). Flashpoint takes place down the street. In your office building or mall. The consequences of action or inaction are to be replayed in their mind, home, community and above all on TV. And despite the preparations our heroes take, it just doesn't assuage the situations that go tits up.
This show is grounded in moral motives that will pierce the heart of it's viewers. Let the Rambo's have their shows, and let us tread the thin, ever moving and twisting thin blue line of Flashpoint. In the show's own words, "We're not here to target practice, we're here to save lives".
I dunno about you but personally I watch "cop shows" for the vicarious thrills.If I wanted "caring",I'd watch Lifetime.
Respect my lack of authority.
True...But I'll give it a shot anyway. Can't be worse than Cop Rock, & I managed to sit through 3 episodes. I think Stephen Bochco must have smoked a bit too much weed the day he came up with the idea for this one.
Also,I watched both last night and I agree, the first Trailer Park Boys movie was better, although Countdown to Liquor Day had it's moments. Curious to see how the 3rd one will pan out...

Family Guy! It just gives you a big boost of laughs, besides EVERYONE should know that Seth MacFarlane is THE BEST comedian ALIVE!!! So basically it's just a boosting of happiness show.
I liked "The Crazy Ones" this week.... Then again Robin Williams has always cracked me up.
