Ive got to say this is probably my fav season of all time especially since a few of the episodes take place in Bangor/Maine which is where im from. Ricky Julian and Bubbles hatch up a plan to smuggle dope across the canadian maine boarder using a model train with a little "help" from their friend Conky

The product was delivered to me before the estimated delivery date. The case and 2 disks were in perfect condition.

Even though it's the most different from the classic, early seasons, the 7th and final season of Trailer Park Boys may be my favourite. Here's why.

Gone are Cory and Trevor, never to return. In their stead are some new chracters: Tom Collins, the two "alien Trevors", and expanded roles for Philadelphia and Jacob Collins. (Yes, apparently they are related! Nice ret-con job.)

Ricky and Julian have roped Bubbles into helping them with their meat stealing business. Things go bad for Bubbles when he's left in a freezing meat locker. ("Just pretend it's winter," says Rick. "Pretend you're making snowmen out of meat.") Bubbles decides to never work with the boys again, and heads down to the United States with Ray (who is back on the road) selling scrap metal. Things go bad yet again when Ray is arrested for picking up two prostitutes (aka "friends of the road") and Bubbles is left hanging.

True friends Ricky and Julian head down to Maine to rescue Bubs, and to cheer him up, take him to a model train convention. There they meet Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) who wants to buy some of Ricky's dope. A plan is set in motion, combining Bubbles' skill with model trains and the Bach plan.

In other twists, Randy's been messing around, and Lahey is still a cop, albeit things didn't exactly work out for him the way he wanted them to. Jacob is obsessed with Julian, who realizes that he and his two "alien Trevor" buddies will make perfect "jail cover". And then, Conky shows up....

Beefed up to 10 episodes, the 7th season was a change of pace much needed after the 6th, where it seemed Clattenberg and Co. were just treading water a bit. Having Sebastian Bach appear in multiple episodes was a stroke of genius, trumping the previous one-off with Alex Lifeson. Bach is hilarious.

Rickyisms, amazingly, might be even more clever and off the wall this time. Another well written season, the absurdity of this show has been taken to an entirely new level. Smuggling dope across the border via a model train? It's so stupid that you can't help but laugh at the fact that Julian thinks it's genius. All this leads up to a hilarious cross-border confrontation.

Beefing up the characters of Jacob and Phil, as well as introducing Tom Collins, was exactly what this show needed. Every show needs a shot of new blood after this many seasons, and Trailer Park Boys was very lucky to have the entire original cast intact for 6 whole seasons plus a feature film. In addition, the season wraps up in a nice neat little package like never before. You may even get warm fuzzies. But will it last?

No, it wasn't to last. One last episode was tacked on ("Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys") which isn't included here (drat!). That mars the otherwise beautiful ending that this season presented. However, taken as a season on its own, the 7th is probably the most well rounded the boys have ever written and performed. May as well quit when you're at the top of your game, right?

Yeah, season 7 is probably my favourite. Not a weak episode in the bunch, and a great story arc. Five stars.
