I hate this show
I just don't see the appeal in it.
Sorry
your not from canada are you?
shareI know I'm not in the target market for this show, but I find it hillarious. I'm a 29 yr old mother of 3 very young children originally from Oklahoma. I only see it on PBS, but I am disappointed when they decide to run something else instead. It's probably my favorite show.
I don't know much about how Canadian and Americans are different, so it took me a few episodes to realize the show was set in Canada. With all the gadgets he does and the enormous cache of cars he seems to have, I thought he was supposed to be from the Southern United States, granted I wasn't paying much attention to his accent. I only figured it out because he said "clicks"(not sure on the spelling) instead of miles.
Coming from Oklahoma, I never saw anything as ellaborate as the innovations he makes, but I was familiar with jerryrigging and tinkering and deffinitely duct tape. I think that anyone from a rural area in America can probably identify with this show. People from more urban areas probably might not get it.
i have been watching him in one way or another since he did his first show, smith and smith, but I didn't realise that's where he created the red green character....guess that I wasn't paying attention..
there are a few things from this missing, not sure what movie, but I have seen steve smith with a cameo on a few movies since red green has been cancelled...ok, he had one line..but..

um...they're all over rural Ontario....my brother in law's family even had cars galore out in the field....so.....lol....
I have lived off and on in Toronto all my life, and I totally get it....
so yes, if you like the show, doesn't matter where you're from...
I started to watch this show called hard roc med..and I'm happy that newphew Harold is in that series....he plays one of the docs trying to get new recruits...
it's sort of our version of northern exposure.......I think...
but yeah
right now I'm watching the red green, how to fix everything, didn't realise that it's a movie though....it's just him on a stage...so not too sure if I'd call that a movie, but I have been to the place where it was filmed he mentioned it......

I am from America and I love this show (Note--I live in NH about 4 hours from the Canadian border, so I am familiar with Canada). The most surprising thing about this show is that it stars mostly males and yet is very popular with women. It's great to sit down with my girlfriend and watch a show where the humor pokes fun at men but isn't mean or over the top in that direction. It's sad to see the show go but I suppose 15 years is an incredible run for any show about a lodge in Canada.

I'm from Canada and I can't stand it. I will say that it isn't quite as bad as Air Farce. If you like this crap check out History Bites. It features more then a few of the red greed idiots running around and is pretty painful to watch. It's a shame Patrick McKenna has to do *beep* like this to get paid. He's pretty good in any dramatic roles he has.
Not all Canadian Comedy is terrible. Kids in the Hall is awesome. Less than Kind is a pretty funny show too(though you might need to spend some time in Winnipeg to really appreciate the cold and boredom)
i find it awesome... no idea until now it was even from the party to the north (not and insult really and yes i am in the states.... idaho to be exact)
its a stupid funny show... just shut your mind off and laugh because you can....

I loved history bites, and was sad that it was cancelled..i enjoyed watching air farce until one of the actors died, and they started to replace everyone....especially with one of the women.....when they shoved one of my faves to the side, luba goy....(loved her, and that's a pun on her name).....to the side, I stopped watching....but I enjoyed watching that show with my dad at the end of the week...until it got too sad, and he lost interest..he's no longer around...but we would watch red green together too....
loved some of the characters...
now there too where we differ, I couldnt' stand kids in the hall, and other stuff like it...I tried watching the new one sunnyside, I think that one of the kids created it, but I'm not sure...I totally didn't enjoy that at all...even though I know where it's shot, and kind of what it's supposed to be about...
but i'll watch *beep* creek instead....
mr d...was too in your face...I had met teachers like him...and I don't want to see them on my tv screen...so....
I know there are people who dislike Red Green but being Canadian I can appreciate the Canadian aspect. It never took itself too seriously and the object was to poke fun at men's clubs. One could also watch it without crude humour and sexual innuendos as in Two and a Half Men. I would rather watch Steve Smith any day than Charlie Sheen.
