It's the long awaited release of the 1998 season of the Red Green Show! It was a short but wonderful season or as Red puts it; "It was a not-as-bad-as-it could-have-been year." This is a three disk set with 14 episodes. The video is crisp and clear and the audio is great too. The menus on the disks are easy to navigate through and there is the all important "play all" feature as well. As always; everyone we love and admire are in this set; Hap; Mike; Bill; Dalton; Edgar and Ranger Gord!

For those of you who already own the "Stuffed and Mounted" DVD's, here is a list of the episodes from this season that are also on the Stuffed and Mounted releases.

"The Mayor Race"- Red runs for mayor of Possum Lake. (Stuffed & Mounted 6)

"Better To Give Than Receive"- The guys become competitive blood donors. (Stuffed & Mounted 5)

"Town Services Contract"- Possum Lake hires the lodge to supply tow truck, snow plow and ambulance service. (Stuffed & Mounted 4)

"Mad About You"- Harold teaches Red about anger management (Stuffed & Mounted 2)

Also worth mentioning; "It's A Wonderful Red Green Christmas" is available on DVD seperately.

In my humble opinion; even though almost half of these episodes have been released before, this is still worth owning. So if you love Red Green; show your support by buying this set. God willing if sales are good; the rest of the seasons will ultimately follow. Remember; I'm pulling for ya; were all in this together!

As always, Red-Green is funny and reflects the simplicity of a guys world. Worth watching over and over.

These are some of Red Green's best shows. A must-have for any of his fans or fans of good comedy in general!

I don't know if there is such a thing as Canadian redneck but if there is that's what Red Green is. Aimed it middle-age to senior men, at is hilarious for people of all ages and genders. Occasional suggestive adult subject matter.
For a sample of Red Green look it up on YouTube. Start with the hub cap video. Great gift for older guys.

Purchased this for my Dad for Christmas... I don't think that a night has gone by without him watching an episode or two... he loves it! And, the rest of the family thinks it is entertaining as well, so an all around good purchase.

We really love the Red Green Show. It keeps us laughing and laughing. We highly recommend it.

I absolutely love the new format of the show! I saw this back in the early 90s when they actually showed meetings right through at the end..lol

As with all of the other shows this set is great;I only wish they would bring out the previous ones as well.

Good stuff! If you like Red Green at all, you will love this set!
