MY GOD NO ONE'S POSTED HERE YET?

I love this show! It's offbeat brand of humor might not be for everyone,but you have to admit that red green's "handyman corner" ideas are ingenious.I actually wonder if some of them hold water-if they were carried out properly.I mean,c'mon,using the engine of your car as a barbecue? And using windshield wipers to spread sauce on the broiling food. Oh,i love it! Steve Smith deserves an emmy or at least something. Or devising a way to change a tire with the car still being driven? It's pure genius.

Jerry Schaefer (Animal Control Officer Ed Frid) deserves plenty of credit as well; he's almost as hilarious as Steve!

Schaefer is good as well. So is Jeff Lumby as Winston Rothschild and Wayne Robson as ex-con Mike Hamar. Also Greene as Edgar Montrose. The whole cast is brilliant in my opinion!

My general opinion is that it carries on the torch of the best creative television humor currently broadcast. It picked up when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was cancelled.

Poor Myster Science Theater . . .

The Red Green Show is certainly entertaining.

This show would get more recognition for its humor and recieve more attention overall, say if it would be pushed by the American media.. or at least, let a network such as Comedy Central buy the rights to air reruns.

But, since the show will stay true to its Canadian roots by not airing internationally, then things will remain the same.

I thought when it was on some PBS stations were carrying it...although I never saw it from the one I get...that's what I heard

Yeah, it was---it definitely shown on PBS in the Detroit metro area. But with Detroit and some of its suburbs being practically across the water from Canada, anyone who had CBC Channel 9 in Windsor could see some decent Canadian programs on the regular. Unfortunately, since regular TV went digital, I haven't been able to get Channel 9 since,which sucks (the digital channel ION does show some good Canadian shows like FLASHPOINT and THE LISTENER,though.)

As an act of shameless self-promotion, I'll admit to being the author of the wheel-change segment. Thanks for the "pure genius".
