Complete Red Green Show



I laughed and snorted salsa for 15 years worth
Years of fruitcake entertainment from the creation of Steve Smith (Red Green) & Rick Green (Bill). See more use of duct tape the "Handy Man's Secret Weapon" "Spare the duck tape-spoil the job." Hear the phrase "If women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find you handy" so often you'll be repeating it. Red can't explain nephew Harold (Pat McKenna) except "Uncles can't be choosers." Red actually once told Harold, "Speaking of misconceptions, of which you are one."

Red Green, at some point in the set, is similar to other comedy stars. He resembles Red Skelton's commonness and innocent thinking. He resembles Tim Conway with off-beat gags, almost becoming believable. He's like Lucille Ball, Queen of American Comedy, a steady normal expression regardless of event preposterousness. He's Groucho Marx through smile-free one-liners. Green is Canada's Tim-The-Tool-Man-Allen. As straight faced, solemn through gags as Bob Newhart. Dare we compare to Bullwinkle the Moose...

All you can handle of Red Green in one box
The biggest thing I'd like to give you is EXACTLY what's in this box as the description made me go "huh?" on some of the extras they include. There is a dvd case for each season containing 3 discs which covers 45 of the 50 discs. There's one dvd case that contains 5 specials dvd's. That is all that is contained in the box.

That being said, it's everything I've wanted which is every episode of the Red Green show as well as many of their specials DVD's. The only remaining video items left for a complete collection would be Duct Tape Forever, Wit and Wisdom, and We Can't Help it We're Men. Amazon had by far the cheapest price on this collection and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. If you love Red Green, this is the set to buy

Best series ever
best thing since Monty Python, hard to believe this is Canadian comedy, love the series and this box set, the box is cool but the flip lid easily comes off
