What happens

The Red Green Show is a Canadian television comedy series. It aired on various channels in Canada from April 4, 1991 until April 7, 2006. The show was created by Canadian comedians Steve Smith and Rick Green, both of whom also served on its writing staff throughout its run. Smith played the title role of Red Green, a middle-aged handyman who runs a men's club in the fictional Ontario town of Possum Lake. Most segments feature sketch comedy where Red and the other characters directly relate a story to a live studio audience, interspersed with segments featuring Red and a variety of secondary characters. Recurring themes of the comedy include Smith's love of vintage cars and handyman projects, most of which involve duct tape. During the show's 15 seasons, it aired across six different networks but its longest run was with its final network, CBC Television. The show has also aired in the United States on PBS. The cast of the show also appeared in a feature-length film, Duct Tape Forever, released in 2003. Reruns air on CBC Television, CTV Comedy Channel, various Public Broadcasting Service stations, and on the Red Green Channel on Roku televisions. It was produced by S&S Productions. Following the show's finale in 2006, Smith has done stand-up comedy tours in character as Red Green. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
