Canada's The Red Green Show, which has aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and PBS in the United States, is an infectiously oddball tribute to the men of the Possum Lodge. Red Green, the flannel-shirted handyman who believes that anything is possible "if you use enough duct tape," is the understated center of attention, but he's nearly always joined (and annoyed) by his incredibly nerdy nephew, Harold. And if the two of them can't get into enough trouble with their misbegotten handyman projects, friends and neighbors, including forest rangers and garage mechanics, are often around to make everything unravel. In this collection that spans six years of Red's televised misadventures, the gang gets involved in several promising schemes that inevitably lead to disaster, and Red hosts handyman how-to segments that no one in their right mind would ever try at home. The humor found in the friendly confines of the Possum Lodge isn't to everyone's taste, but if you adapt to the deadpan delivery and slow pace, these programs do begin to grow on you. The sight gags are crude, the production seems to strive to look low-budget, and the jokes are often so bad that you'll find yourself laughing no matter how much you know you shouldn't. --Robert J. McNamara

5.0 out of 5 stars A word from a woman, May 25, 2000

By	Jenni (Middle o'the Country, USA) - See all my reviews

Most reviews about Red Green are by men. Not very many are made by 24 year old women from the USA's Deep South. At least, that's where I was living when I discovered Red Green on my local PBS station. I can count on one hand the number of television shows that will make me laugh until i have to wipe my eyes, every episode. This is DEFINATELY one of them. Unfortunately I live in a place with no Red Green now. I haven't met a single person who knows who he is, or about the show. But, I'm building my own collection now. So should you! There's something truly wonderful about getting your friends together and showing them something new, that makes them laugh their tushes off. Men and women alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is What Red Green Is About, May 15, 2003

By	timwellman (Huntington, WV United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Red Green - Stuffed and Mounted 1 (DVD)

If you've missed these episodes or, like me, your taped copies have gotten so worn they no longer work, buy this DVD! (and the other 4 that have been released so far).

At first, I was sorta disappointed because the episodes are not in any order, you might get a first season ep followed by a tenth season epidode, then a 3rd, etc... but, no one says you have to watch them in the order they are on the DVD's... the thing is, this is the handiest way to get episodes.

The 8 episodes on this dvd are: The Wind-Powered Boat, The Salt And Pepper Shakers, Maple Syrup, Fire Brigade (my favorite on the dvd), The Beef Project, The Network Deal (my least favorite of all time), and The Science Fair.

I've been a fan since the first season, and have seen every episode at least 200 times over the years, Red Green got me through a lot of troubles in life, because no matter what, you can count on the guys at possom lodge to give you a laugh or two, and it's good to have these eps on DVD format. I just wish they had been released by season, instead of just, apparently, Steve Smith's favorite episodes.

You can't go wrong with Red, Harold and the Gang. a chuckle a minute and a reality check for the "real guy" in all of us. Any Red Green title(book or video, etc) is a winner--As Red says, "remember I'm pullin' for you--we're all in this together" Keep your stick on the Ice!!!
