We've been in love with the Red Green Show since the 1st episode we happened across on our local PBS station. The comedy series is genuine and very original. I can't recommend these enough. Red Green is FANTASTIC and great comedy for the whole family. Even my 4 and 7 year old love to watch the Red Green Show and that's saying something because they hardly ever watch anything that isn't animated.
A must have if you love to laugh.

What can one say about Red Green, et al, that hasn't been said? Some of the best comedy ever, IMHO.
However, the sound quality on these DVDs is rather frustrating.
It cycles from very loud to rather soft over a 20-30 second time frame on almost every episode. Whoever did the mastering should have their toy box taken away and fed gruel for the rest of their lives. Up and down, up and down... sheesh!

The is a must have for die-hard Red Green fans. 48 of the best episodes from various seasons. It's great to watch the show evolve over the years. Interestingly though, they did not order the episodes in chronological order.

The only disapointment was that there are no episodes from the second season (eps 25 - 48) with the big ensemble cast (Noel, Eddie, Helmut, Doc, etc).

The Red Green Show is the most consistently funny program I have ever had the pleasure to watch. The show's format, which changed slightly over the series 15 year run, is as predictable and comfortable as your favorite slippers. Yes, I know before the episode begins that whatever crazy scheme Red has concocted this week will inevitably fail -- but that is part of the fun. And I know that whoever is playing the "Possum Lodge Word Game" this week will certainly and inadvertently guess the answer.

Finally any middle aged man with a smidgen of a funny bone will love Red's weekly homily on being a guy, and getting older. His comments are wickedly insightful, always laugh inducing, and often startlingly thought-provoking.

This series is the ultimate guy show, but never demeans women or slips into macho posturing. Instead it takes an hilarious and insightful look at maleness, exposing the quirks of our gender with loving satire. My face breaks out in a wide smile as soon as Red walks into the lodge in the opening sequence. Yes its silly, yes its predictable, and yes it is beloved by those who have taken the time to savor its gentle humor. So bow your head for the man's prayer, and join the fun.

I have been enjoying Red Green on PBS for years - unfortunately it is not always available. I was excited to hear this set was out and I was not disappointed. They certainly did pick some great episodes, and the added commentary gives some more insight into the series (I never knew they won awards for being that goofy). Great fun - I watch it with my Dad and son - we can just relax and laugh and have fun. This set is definitely "top shelf" material - get it in your library today!

Lots of episodes I never got to watch. Not in order but you figure them out. A keeper.

What a six pack (of DVD's that is!) from the guys at Acorn Home Video!!! This one won't get you drunk, but you will be laughing along with the crazy antics of Red Green(Steve Smith),his cousin Harold(Patrick McKenna),Mike Hammer(Wayne Robson),Hap Shaughnessy(Gordon Pinsent),and the rest of the members of Possum Lodge!!! A truly hilarious show from Canada!!! 48 classic Red Green episodes in all!!! My favorite segments are Handyman Corner,Adventures with Bill,and the Possum Lodge word game!!! "And remember,if the women don't find you handsome,they should at least find you handy!!!" Rock-on Red Green!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

This was a great DVD release, and I would recommend all fans get it. The one big complaint I have with this release is the DVD cases - I'd rather see the thin-pack cases used for a "pack" of DVDs such as this. This saves space on bookshelves, store shelves, and allows the production company to ship more units per case.

All that aside, I'd also like to see the entire series come to DVD. While there certainly were some poor episodes, I'd like to see all of the episodes make their way to DVD, as season releases, or one big mega-pack, like the sort of thing A&E does with some of their shows.

Thank you Steve Smith for introducing us to The Red Green Show. This show has it all. From the excellent writing. To the very talented castmembers. So where else can you watch a contest to see which Possum Lodge member can get their hipwaders to inflate to a new world record with just a few chunks of dry ice? Or how to remove two badgers from old man Sedwick's overalls? How about brewing your own beer from an old water tower. And Uncle Red's handyman quotes such as...If it ain't broke, your not trying. We can't help it...were men. This is one 6-pack the whole family can enjoy. And if your still thirsty for more. Steve has other DVD's from his past shows and a movie too!

Red Green is living proof that comedy can be clean and safe for the whole family. If you're like my family and prefer to keep the trash and smut away from your TV but love a good comedy, check this out. Blows SNL out of the water in the humor department.
