Product Description
Fifteen years of pandemonium at Possum Lodge, plus five bonus programs
It started as a shoestring-budget public television program about a merry bunch of misfits in the Canadian wilderness…and it pretty much stayed that way. For 300 episodes, Red, his nephew Harold, and the Possum Lodge gang celebrated doing what men do when women aren’t around-and some things that are even worse. With over 100 hours of hijinks, behind-the-scenes specials, and inventive uses for duct tape, this collection offers the perfect excuse to grab a seat, crack open a cold one, and put off your next home-improvement project.

By Harold Wolf
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?
This set is the zany hilarious dull-witted back-woods red-neck show that continued for 1 1/2 decades and accumulated a cult-like following equal to many rock stars. It's a great `Man-Gift'. Women with a piqued sense of humor will find this show engaging. LOL comedy. "Red Green Comedy Pinnacle Perfection" of imagination and dummm-ness, classic craziness, Canadian calamity...Possum Do-Do.
Closed Captioning is available, sometimes helpful when you are laughing too hard and loud to hear the audio. It's a large price but almost enough episodes (300) to last one-a-day for a year, taking Sunday off to rest your laugh muscles.
Released earlier but still also available in smaller sets. See those listings for my reviews that list episode titles.

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
