Favorite character - The Red Green Show (1991) Discussion

Dalton Humphery just because of how cheap he was. Winston was so naive, it was hilarious.

I can't say I have a favorite, but those two stick out in my mind.

Mike the theif, he was great. Everytime something went wrong or missing, Red goes "Mike!"

I like Red Green (Steve Smith). He is the host of the show, maintains a calm demeanor when everything seems to be wrong and he puts up with Harold... He has a calm understanding of the male-female relationship which I like...

So, is "Red Green" actually Steve Smith and is Rick Green Steve Smith/Red Green's brother???? And is Harold a relation of the two???

Steve Smith is the actor who plays "Red Green" the character.
RICK Green, no relation to Steve Smith aka "Red Green," is the actor who plays "Bill."
Patrick McKenna is the actor who plays "Harold Green" and is not related to anybody. His character "Harold" is "Red's" nephew. Those characters are not related to "Bill."

By the way, I think my favorites are Glen Braxton, Dougie Franklin and Noel Christmas. The highlight of the entire series, though, is when Graham Greene (as Edgar Montrose) was bad-mouthing "Dances With Wolves." (FYI, Greene starred with Kevin Costner).

Greene/Montrose: "Now, the native guy was okay...shoulda won the Oscar. But the rest was a total yawn..."

Adventures with Bill without a doubt.The catchy tune playing,the old fashioned looking treatment of the filming,the wildly outrageous stunts (usually involving some mechanical device),and the always cheery smile on the face of Bill even after he's nearly killed,not to mention the pointed daggers Red voiced over in response to Bill's awkward antics.Classic bits.

Mine would be Winston, Ranger Gord, and Ed Frid.

I liked Mike Hamar. He was always the best word game host.

Aside from Red and Harold, my favourite character Edgar "KB" Montrose (Graham Greene). It was just the touches that Greene (who was actually such a big fan of the show that he asked Steve Smith to see if he could have a part created for him) brought to it: the missing fingers...the impaired hearing...yet still the unshakable belief that dynamite is the universal fix-it for every problem. LOL

Dougie Franklin is my favorite, and not just because I'm an American redneck. He was kind of shaky in the first few seasons, but he definitely caught his character from Season 3 onwards.

He was hilarious on The Experts and in the Possum Lodge Word Game. I love his completely manufactured dissertation on the importance of Boolean logic in computer programming, and his euphemistic argument with Dalton Humphries about whether gay sandwiches should be allowed in the Army. Another one of his best was explaining how Canadians and Americans are different (I still use his term, 'constipated smile;' it is so perfectly descriptive).

And Red trying to get Dougie to guess 'vacuum cleaner' in the Possum Lodge Word Game:
Red: "Okay, Dougie: this is something you use when you clean the house."
Dougie: [blank look]
Red: "Okay, this is something your MOM uses when SHE cleans the house."
Dougie: "Air freshener."
Red: "No, no...this sucks up little bits of food off the floor."
Dougie: "Oh, a dog!"
Red: "No, this sucks up bits of lint and crud and dust and everything."
Dougie: "A baby?"

"You may have come on no bicycle, but that does not say that you know everything."

Red is my favorite, but if you're talking non-titular characters then I can't choose a favorite. I'd say the combination of Dalton, Winston, & Mike is the best because they mostly enabled Red's or whoever's whacky idea and didn't constantly contradict him Red like Harold did. Best example was "Cheap Jeep" with Winston's "I don't like the sound of this" bit but they were all in on the assembly of the vehicle that we didn't need to see but could imagine the calamity of. If I had to choose a favorite it'd be Mike because his criminal mindset always provided plenty of material to work with.

Everyone else was better in segment alone with Red.
