The Red Green Show!

[Girls Scout Leader]

Has anyone else heard of this? There seems to quite a following of his fans here in Michigan. My DH and son LOVES this show! So, for a birthday surprise, I called and got tickets for us to see a taping of the show! It's filmed in Toronto, and on a Wednesday, so will have to take a couple of days off... Boo hoo.
Are there any other fans out there?

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky!


It was one of my dads favorite shows and when my father was at his sickest point (2nd round of chemo) he would watch Red Green.

At one point I asked him if he'd seen any good episodes lately, and he said that he could no longer watch the show because it made him sick. LMAO......when I asked him what he meant he said that because he'd laugh SO hard, the laughing made him choke, and then he'd be in pain for a few hours.....thus, the show made him sick.

Our favorite family joke now is that the Red Green show made my dad sick....(and of course people read into that what they want, but it really meant that dad loved the show!) LOL LOL


Feel free to share this with them if ya get to meet 'em to shake their hands or anything like that.

I just about died when I saw that one where they make an air hockey table from two dryers.

The men are geniuses, no doubt about it! Ain't NUTHIN' they can't make.

They made a heated lounge chair out of an old oven once...their craftsmanship needs a bit of work but their ideas are sound, don't ya think?

That's one of the benefits of living in Michigan - we get Red Green on Canadian TV!

I love that show, although I think some of the earlier ones were funnier - when they actually had possum lodge meetings. And those black and white Adventures with Bill - thumbs up!

Remember, if the ladies can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

He was my Grade 6 teacher. He was our homeroom teacher and Science teacher. He was great.

I was absolutely in Heaven last month when I was in Vancouver and actually got to watch Red Green on Canadian TV!!! How dorky is that?

Just saw that The Red Green Movie - Duct Tape Forever is available on DVD. Gotta buy it!!

Winston Rothchild is my favorite! Never seen a sexier septic sucker in my life!

He was great. We read the Kon Tiki or rather he did and he brought it his guitar all the time. He played music while we did our science. He had everything done up on cards. You would pick a card and do that "project". You handed it in and went onto something else. Everyone worked on something different. I learnt more that year than I did at any other time. He was also a teacher for my older db. I was really surprised when I saw him on TV. He was great.

Sadly, we haven't seen much of it since Harold left -- but is he back now??


By the way, HauntedMansionGeek, you do realize, don't you, that IOWA has won the yearly PBS Red Green fundraiser for the last 3 years???

That's only cuz you guys cheated.

Oh wait, that wasn't nice I guess. LOL

My reply instead is "that's because we LET you win!"...Yes folks, Minnesotans really ARE THAT NICE!

Okay, you got me. I've gotta see this show! I've never heard of Red Green and I'm in Michigan (Clinton Twp too DrTomorrow ) Someone local fill me in on time and channel. We have cable and satellite dish if that helps.
