Life goes on at Possum Lodge, even with the absence of Red's beloved if goofy nephew, Harold (Patrick McKenna), a longtime fixture on The Red Green Show. Harold does make an appearance in the Christmas episode of the The Red Green Show: 2000 Season, trading barely-camouflaged insults with his uncle Red (Steve Smith), whose handyman section of the holiday program ingeniously (if nauseatingly) demonstrates how to cook an entire turkey dinner under the hood of one's car while driving. Red's questionable resourcefulness rears itself again and again throughout the season, including such memorable events as turning a hot water heater, skis and a lot of duct tape into a snowmobile; repurposing a lot of plastic bottles, palettes and an old, revolving door into a riverboat; and converting old playground equipment into a log splitter. Red's excitable Possum Lodge mates Dalton (Bob Bainborough), who looks like some Dickensian character of genteel poverty, and the weird Mike (Wayne Robson) get deeply involved in an ugly sausage-making competition, discuss the pros and cons of time travel (Red's choice would be to go back in time and prevent the conversation), and look forward to taking Toronto's garbage off that city's hands. (They're sure they can find a lot of stuff in Toronto's trash worth keeping.) The usual Red Green Show rituals are intact: the weekly word game that contestants never intentionally win; Red's advice to middle-age guys about relationships, keeping junk, and the differences between men and women when it comes to shopping. There are also time-saving tips (how to use the wagging tail of a hungry dog to wash a car, for instance), and much else. Season highlights include Red's effort to catch a lunar eclipse with Mike and Dalton, visits with the half-mad Ranger Gord (Peter Keleghan), and adventures with the mostly-deaf explosives expert, Edgar K. B. Montrose (Graham Greene). The season culminates in the hair-raising episode "No Duct Tape," which is about the panic that sets in when the lodge runs out of the ubiquitous stuff. --Tom Keogh

One of my fav. shows, however it'd be nice if all the DVDs in the series didn't look so much alike in terms of artwork.

The "A Merry Red Green Christmas" episode is available with the "It's A Wonderful Red Green Christmas" episode on a separate DVD release; (available from amazon).
I sure miss Harold and Hap but these are still very funny shows. I highly recommend them. After this season there will be no repeat episodes from the Stuffed & Mounted series. Hopefully they will release the remaining seasons and some earlier seasons would be nice as well. "So remember; I'm pulling for ya; we're all in this together"

The Red Green Show was in its prime during these years. Sad to say the show is over, but I am grateful they are available on DVD. Now how about some extras, and putting out the sets a little quicker?
Well worth it. One of the best comedy shows ever.

You might think a comedy series 10 years old might be getting stale, but The Red Green show was always stale anyway, it hardly changed its format throughout. If Steve Smith didn't close with the hockey stick reference the universe may have imploded.
But for me, the middle to late period is really when the series hit its stride, although it was a very relaxed gait, this never blazed with brilliance, preferring to warm with familiarity. The annoying chain saw sound in the background is gone, and the cast settled into a comfortable ensemble; Red, Dalton, Winston and Mike causing the trouble in the main thread, with Harold commenting from the sidelines. Comedy works best with a steady crew used to each other's timing, and when I think of the show, it's usually one of these later episodes that comes to mind.
But then I usually don't have to think of the show, it's right there on the screen, two shows a night, five nights a week of one of the local PBS affiliates, and it's been that way for years and years with no sign of slowing down. So I wonder a bit if it isn't premature to be selling the show? Oh well, hope they sell lots of these and Smith, McKenna, Green and the crew make some bucks, they certainly deserve it. And if it's not on ten times a week in your area . . . well, here you go.
