When SCTV gleefully proclaimed each week that it was "on the air," the announcement was greeted with the launching of televisions from apartment windows.

Now another classic Canadian comedy is airing again, but it won't be plasma TVs being chucked out, but computer monitors. The stars of Trailer Park Boys, who portray petty-crook pranksters Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, say they've acquired the rights to the hoser-happy mockumentary franchise, which they'll bring to their own Internet channel, SwearNet.com.
