    I am scratching my head in confusion. You actually think the Red Green show was funny? Really! Wow,I must have lost my funny bone. Back in the days before 200 channels this show and other brutal CBC productions were the laughing stock of the world...what with the political correctness and silly plot lines. Witness the current nightmare called "Little Mosk on the Prairie". It,s so not funny,but of course they would never dare attempt to remove it for fear of being declared racist. Thus we now have a tenty year run of a horrible show that will be declared a succsess only because of it,s duration. What really frighten,s me is what in blue blazes are they going to dream up next.

    Maybe it depends on whereabout you're from. The area I'm originally from (about 60 miles south of the border in northern Minnesota) has a cultural environment that's just about exactly the same as the fictional atmosphere of the Red Green show. All the guys in the show could be from there. I know a dozen or so "Red Greens". I'm a bit of a Red Green myself in a way. Maybe you're from a more urbane environment and the humor is lost on you. If you're not the type of guy who's tried to make one working car from two almost working ones, or pulled a four-banger out to drop in a six for shits and giggles, it may not be your type of show.

    I look for handy, a fella that can make a vehicle out of a 50 gallon drum or whatever else he has laying around has my undying admiration.
    Funny how falling feels like flying.....for a little while
