Monday’s Guilty Pleasure: The Red Green Show
The Red Green Show is a Canadian import shown on PBS. It concerns Red Green, a usually inept handyman with a fondness for duct tape, his nephew Harold and all the other members of Possum Lodge. Set in a small town in rural Canada, the show covers everything from fishing to appliance repair to forest fires and everything inbetween. The show consists of about seven or eight skit-like scenes connected with an underlying backstory. Sometime in every show, Red tries his best to build a useful contraption out of discarded junk and duct tape. Always duct tape.
Like many of the shows on PBS, the Red Green Show is only carried by the whim of the local stations. Luckily, our local station shows it (unlike the station in Las Vegas), but at seemingly random times.

Being Canadian, I guess we are a little luckier, as this is one of our favourite shows, but fortunately it’s aired on a regular basis on our national program CBC. He’s pretty wacky!

looks like tool time kinda… I think the name of the show was home improvement but darn that show was funny. I guess it works in the Canada market as well.
