I don't know Steve, and I have never met the man, but thanks to Smith & Smith and The Red Green Show, I feel like he's an uncle that I just never got to meet. I have a few Red Greens in my family. I have also discovered that since I've gotten older, I've morphed into a Red Green myself.
Hard to believe when Steve Smith started this show,he was 46 years old. He was 61 when it ended 300 episodes later. He is now 75 years old,time flies when your having fun. Keep your stick on the ice.
Glad you found it. I grew up on this show. Dumb, simple and hilarious. I'll never forget the Man's Prayer. I am a man, But I can change, If I have to... ....I guess.
Grew up watching this on PBS in the 90's. This and Red Dwarf were key to this middle school girl. I miss when watching "foreign" shows counted as peak edgy 😂
I had to stay up late to catch this on tv in denver growing up. There's so much of this show that permanently changed the way i think. Thanks to all the boyz who made this happen.
@Mr. Big this is the "original" ref green show.....episode 2!! Only one before this one.....lol. I gotta look into the Smith and Smith show you mentioned
Even in the 2nd episode one can see the talent and even though rough, the characters are well done. Possibly the finest television Canada ever produced. One thing I liked especially was the Canadian sense of humor. Able to make fun of Canada and the U.S. equally and be riotously funny without insult or even in spite of insult....it was done so well.....so well.
This show is still fucking hilarious. Glad I decided to rewatch it from the beginning after all these years. Bill tobogganing straight into the van is absolutely amazing. Woke my wife up laughing.
Amazing how several of their funniest quoted lines began in season 1, lasting the entire series. Great writers w/ vision. I'm sure they hoped for 15+ seasons, but so few shows get past 5. Look at what a loyal fan base they have. Our lives are better being reminded of life nuggets w/ sarcastic humor.
The start of a beautiful relationship. Who knew! You have made so many of your fans happy , you've helped us through hard times. Can't thank you enough. We wish you all the best on your next adventure.
This was one of my favorite non-cartoon TV shows when I was a kid. I'm so happy there's a RUclips channel with all 300 episodes. I'm one happy Canadian 😄!
I really love this, as a child we didn’t have much supervision, the important thing I was told, don’t let the grain I loved to play with near fire, or the entire town would explode.
Ive watched this show since 1994 with my grandfather and while eating lunch at home. I vividly remember watching Sesame Street, my mom coming down with some pea soup and crackers for me. The best part of the day, Red Green is on! I was planning on getting my grandfather some tickets to your last show, unfortunately he got sick and needed to get a few surgeries. Even after a heart surgery he was right back to work (handyman). His last week or two at the hospital was the first time my entire life i seen him not doing anything. Its been two years in June, the thing im the most mad about is that I wasn’t able to attend your last event with him as his last as well. So glad to have had your show in my life and turned me into the lazy duct taping handyman i am today. Thank you for giving my grandfather and i lots of bonding time watching this show and working with him until I graduated highschool.
Oh my God when I started watching red green on PBS he did not look this young I am going to get all these older episodes I'm so excited. I LOVE RED GREEN❤❤AND THE CREW❤
debbie here, wow how young red is here..oh my,,time flys,,they say my hubbie looks like you red,,and i can see it too..flannel shirts, suspenders, hat ,,beard..haha love your humor
I've watched every episode so many times that I've lost track. I have it playing on my computer all day so I can at least hear it and get a laugh. I love Steve Smith. I saw him on his last tour. Perfection.
thank God n god bless from a transplanted texan one of the very few thing i miss about the northwoods of duluth on a saturday night and hour of red and a bottle of johnny red made a great way to kill some long af winters
If I did not remember the Red Green show from the 90's in Michigan, I would not be here now finding them again. I see lots of vids will keep me busy for a while. I missed these new ones though on TV back in the day. My favorite. Making a Hummer from 2 cars with duct tape, and driving it away.
Love the chain saws. Canada is a great place. I’ve only been there over 100 times. Favorite place is Niagara-on the Lake. If you have enough Loonies, go to The Prince of Wales Hotel. The Niagara Peninsula is one of the great wine regions in the world and I am from Sonoma County, CA. Give it a try.
Even those toy COX planes and land stuff, gave the kick start to kids who are now accomplished engineers, business owners and such. I had some of those, (Plane, 3 wheel chopper, and a jeep), when it was about the time we put a man on the moon, and life was like,---"Go for your dreams son!!!".
And now most kids don't know how to use a hammer. Hell, most adults don't. We grew up w/COX, or slot cars (ya hadda maintain those), building models, learning to fix your bike which would lead to fixing your own car. As cars have become less owner serviceable, I see less and less model kits in toy departments. I strongly believe theire's a direct correlation.
It was Electronics, for me. I built a radio from a kit on my eighth birthday. A few weeks after my 2oth, I tested out of a three year Engineering course, in the Army. I was 17, for the Moon landing.
I have actually used the drill trick with wiring many times. Only I clamp the ends of the wire in the vise first. Then I chuck the other end into my cordless drill and pull my wire out straight and hold a bit of tension on it. Slowly run the drill and let it twist up. You get a nice uniform "cable" that covers up nicely with loom or wire wrap and also threads into frames and between places super easily. Worked at a place installing drive by wire systems for handicapped people and this was taught to me by the shop owner. So, not as crazy an idea as it seems.
My dad and siblings and I would sit down and watch this as a special treat. I was delighted to fnd this here and for some reason can't stop laughing.... 🤔
I swear my ex's brother was just like Bill, and looked an awful lot like him... every time I watch this show always wonder if they were related lol.... thanks for putting these up totally love this show and been missing it :)
The show definitely improved as it went on and his voice is sounds like it has some audio difficulty hilarious show just a mere 29 years ago we are but a vapor
Boy! You can sure tell a "getting the bugs out" of a show by watching the first episodes of the first season! I've watch a few episodes off-and-on since 2009 and this is the first time I saw *any* of the first few episodes- I've seen 2002 season episodes (idk the first year.)
Hey, since when are flame throwers illegal!?!?!?!?! I love the way performers just show up on the show to do recurring characters. It's not like they got a lot of money. I guess they came for the joy.
you can tell by the reaction at the start of the show when it was a laugh track versus live audience. things definitely started good and only have got better.

I use to watch this show before school every day in grade school it's always been a treasure

Keep your stick on the ice.
@@KS-xo3oh I know what you mean. I was born in 81 we are now becoming the middle aged men.
Or if you live here in Florida, keep your ski on the water.
The show ran for 15 years and rerun 14. Probably another 20 to go. I hope they all get residuals.
@@DannyB-cs9vx I'm not quite sure anyone wants residuals from Possum Lake.
Don't make it about us, guys.
Lived in Maine and used to watch this show on PBS at 5:30 PM on Saturday nights. Glad to find in on you tube!
I'm a woman who's hubby used to watch this faithfully, I came to love it too! It's a generational thing!!😎😎
I remember watching this show on pbs back in the 90's
"Just Say No to Toads" has always been my favorite of the campfire songs.
Never seen this show before now. What a hidden gem.
It was big in Canada. I remember watching it on TV with my poppy. I can still smell the beer and cod fish cooking.
Glad you found it. I grew up on this show. Dumb, simple and hilarious.
I'll never forget the Man's Prayer.
I am a man,
But I can change,
If I have to...
....I guess.
Watched this when I lived in Florida - loved it! Now going go rewatch them all :) Yah!
Grew up watching this on PBS in the 90's. This and Red Dwarf were key to this middle school girl. I miss when watching "foreign" shows counted as peak edgy 😂

WOW!! Red and Harold were YOUNG. (So was I, once). It was good, but it got even better over time. Red sounds different.
For sure the first season is okay but it really took off after a little while
@Mr. Big this is the "original" ref green show.....episode 2!! Only one before this one.....lol. I gotta look into the Smith and Smith show you mentioned

Completely agree. 9ne of the finest
Always good harmless humor. I wish more shows were like that.
The problem is... There's no humor without some inappropriate content, the peple in this show are lovely talented, yet on a low budget.
This show is still fucking hilarious. Glad I decided to rewatch it from the beginning after all these years. Bill tobogganing straight into the van is absolutely amazing. Woke my wife up laughing.

Back when when us Canadians embraced our quirkiness. Always been a favorite of mine.
This show is awesome and I’m glad I am binge watching it again
Im so glad this channel popped into my feed. So many memories growing up.
Been watching this show since I was 4 years old. I’m 21 now. Time sure flies by when you’re laughing
I’m 24 and I also grew up watching this show 😊
The start of a beautiful relationship. Who knew! You have made so many of your fans happy , you've helped us through hard times. Can't thank you enough. We wish you all the best on your next adventure.

Steve was/is a true comedian of the first rank. Love this stuff.
I always love watching the Red Green show.Sue
I MISS THIS SHOW I HAD A GREAT CHILDOOD WITH THIS SHOW
Haven't seen Red Green in years. What a hoot!
so glad i found this show agin been 15 years
I watched this on the local PBS channel with my dad when l was an undergraduate back in the 90's. Good times.
Used to watch this as a kid at my grammys house. What a great show.
I really love this, as a child we didn’t have much supervision, the important thing I was told, don’t let the grain I loved to play with near fire, or the entire town would explode.
I love how Harold tells him off for not talking about 'modern' stuff, yet the stuff Red talks about somehow becomes kinda more timeless.
Interesting observation. May be it is along the lines of "trendy" vs "reality".
This simple show lifts my spirits every time.
I always love to show I watch it on PBS when I had that channel and I still love the show to this day❤🎉😂
Way down here in mississipp seen this show on PBS. Then lost track of it. Bv¹¹
But I love it and thanks to you tube I can watch it again. Love it best show ever.
That drill hit with the sledge was one of the most manly hits i have seen.
Ive watched this show since 1994 with my grandfather and while eating lunch at home. I vividly remember watching Sesame Street, my mom coming down with some pea soup and crackers for me. The best part of the day, Red Green is on!

Great show. My favorite part has always been "Adventures with Bill"..
Hilarious.
Often wondered why bill never spoke a word ???
All these years past and today I start again to watch it
A wonderful part of my childhood out of SLC, UT. Steve I adore you man.
i am happy to say i'm 22 and am not ashamed to watch this
Red Groin Far Club forever!
the cast of crazy characters is top notch ...there are a few that i could watch endless times.
Loved,(and still do), the Red Green show!
I spent summers in northern Michigan and this was one of the few shows we got at my cabin. Takes me back.
A real life Possum Lodge would be worth joining.👍🌲🌿🍁🍻🍕🍔
I watched this when it first aired. It's still funny.
The whole series is a national treasure.
Thanks for watching. We think it's pretty funny. Keep your stick on the ice.
Great show
Oh my God when I started watching red green on PBS he did not look this young I am going to get all these older episodes I'm so excited. I LOVE RED GREEN❤❤AND THE CREW❤

Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful shows of true humor with no smut. I will make my way through them all.
On a mission to watch/like/comment on every Red Green episode. Keep your stick on the ice.
I've watched every episode so many times that I've lost track. I have it playing on my computer all day so I can at least hear it and get a laugh. I love Steve Smith. I saw him on his last tour. Perfection.
Thank you so much for uploading! I love this show! I love Red Green. I've met him once. He is a great person.

Greetings from the USA! The Red Green Show never was very popular in this country, so it is extremely difficult to access. Thanks for uploading!
'twas very popular indeed here in the midwest. It was on every Thursday and Saturday here in Central Illinois for a long time.
We're more than happy to share our awesomeness!
Be great if you shared a little more of your Netflix library tho ;)
'Twas indeed a popular show, carried by many PBS stations. Everybody knows Red Green!
That Crazy Guy Tim- That's ironic. Then again it's the same as David Hasselhoff being somewhat of a joke here, but huge in Germany.
If I did not remember the Red Green show from the 90's in Michigan, I would not be here now finding them again. I see lots of vids will keep me busy for a while.
I missed these new ones though on TV back in the day.

Love this show!!! Had that same model plane back in the 70's
D Fuller cool you had the same model plane must a have a lot of fun playing that😈
Yea, a p26 naval peashooter !
That's cool! I can't recall seeing anything of my youth on TV...except in Bronze-age documentary 🥴
Red...: "This is a lot of fun because you can't see what you're going to hit."
Never seen one this early in the history of the show..look how you g red was
Best Winter of our Discontent reading (story) yet! LOL....almost split in two laughing...."so we just..."
Wow episode 2? Wow so young they went so far! Great job! I watched them .. so funny and unique! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this! ! I haven't seen this in ages! I love this show! You're wonderful to do this!!
I only saw 2 or 3 episodes of this. I just remembered this and I don't regret it.
Wow, it's amazing how young Red looks in this episode compared to later seasons. Harold, on the other hand, has not changed a bit. XD
That's what I was thinking 🤔

Exactly. I have seen my husband do the same thing. (Of course, my husband actually IS handy.)

Yup, I slid down the hill on a piece of cardboard. Really slick.
I'm going to like and comment on all of the red green episodes. This makes like and comment number 2
Red Green with hair that isn't snow white!? This is a first! An oldy but definitely a goody
I swear my ex's brother was just like Bill, and looked an awful lot like him... every time I watch this show always wonder if they were related lol.... thanks for putting these up totally love this show and been missing it :)
God this is wholesome
Just sitting out on my back deck,listening to the birds. And the chainsaws. And the gunshots. Put me in the mood to watch some red green.
I'm the only person I have ever known that knows who Red Green is and man he was amazing
Always knew it.
Especially PBS watchers.
Recognize Graham Green? The dynomite guy?

Did y'all notice da suspenders are only RED !
Later shows they were red and green.
I'm a man,
but I can change,
if I have to
I guess
I'm a man, and I changed, because I had too. Oh well
What a great show! As funny as Fawlty Towers but with hundreds more episodes
I loved Red Dwarf.
I have done almost every single thing done in this episode FML he really did influence my life 😂
The show definitely improved as it went on and his voice is sounds like it has some audio difficulty hilarious show just a mere 29 years ago we are but a vapor
Larry The Cable Guy said: "Git er Dun!" Na Red Green/Steve Smith made that quote first!
I hate it when people try to steal our Canadian quotes. Just like Corner Gas: Staycation was coined by Brent Butt.
it's time for the possum lodge word game!!
I love it when Mike is the one guessing the word.
Canada has Red Green. The US has Tool Time Tim.

Just so much fun
He's not even wearing safety glasses. The 90's were wild.
He really grew into the role with time, but the writing was on point immediately
Love this
Iv watched the red green show my whole life. But I don’t think Iv ever seen these early episodes. Lord Red’s voice sounds way different
7:32 You're only limited by your own imagination... You can deal with that as you may 😂😂😂
Boy! You can sure tell a "getting the bugs out" of a show by watching the first episodes of the first season!
I've watch a few episodes off-and-on since 2009 and this is the first time I saw *any* of the first few episodes- I've seen 2002 season episodes (idk the first year.)

Wonder if Steve still has the old Possum Van?😊
"The Red Green Far Club." LOL!

Season 3 was the first season with a live audience.
Favorite part is the chainsaw noises going on in the background the whole time.
