Forget 'Trailer Park Boys.' The Guys Return for 'Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour'

The boys are back in town -- but not in the form we're accustomed to. Julian, Ricky and Bubbles of 'Trailer Park Boys' fame have now morphed into several new characters for their three-part television miniseries 'The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour.'
Set in the fictional town of Port Cockerton (but actually filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia), this high-energy series finds the boys in the midst of shooting their new sketch-variety TV show called 'The Happy Funtime Hour.' It gets eerie when an actor hired to play an eccentric scientist (the late Maury Chaykin) assumes the personality of his character after synthesizing a powerful and addictive hallucinogen derived from local berries. Chaos ensues when the cast of the variety show ingests the drugs and begin to believe they really are the characters they portray on the show, and run amok throughout the small town.
AOL TV caught up with Mike Smith and Robb Wells on the set (an old N.S. motel), but strangely, John Paul Tremblay was nowhere to be found. Two of the troublesome trio let us know what to expect from 'Funtime Hour,' their drag queen character and why they want to defy the typical Canadian TV show.
