It's a dumb show but I'll always have fond memories watching it with my dad. I liked the Ranger Gord educational films. Could be kind of comfy viewing for me at this point.
I'll be honest with you anons. I kinda use it as therapy.
When I'm having a stressful day I usually turn this show on (it's free on tubi) & I read a book while watching. Something about Steve Smiths gravelly but kind voice helps soothe my soul when I'm feeling like life has a personal vendetta against me. No joke. I'm a married dude with kids & I'm caught in the grindstone bad, i dont have any friends or real freetime. When he says "I'm pulling for you, we're all in this together" I want to cry sometimes
Thanks anon. My family does love me & I love them. It just gets overwhelming as a man to try & keep the kids fed & engaged, so they become good people, with skills, protect them from all the weird shit out there, always being two paychecks from broke etc.

This show would literally never get made today, especially in Trudeau's Canada. My childhood best friend didn't have a dad and was a shit stirrer, no-gf, awful student, until he really got into this and Holmes on Homes and turned his shit around, eventually getting into trade work and met his wife there. They don't want that shit happening anymore.
I found it weird in the later seasons when the nerd guy went off to like college or something and couldn't be on the show as much, but they still got him to come on sometimes as a "guest" star as if he never left.
This show is one of my few memories of childhood, and one of the few pleasant ones. I don't know why it sticks out in my mind. The only specific thing I recall from it is something like them building a big electric fence that kills bugs, or something.
I used to think thisbshow was from Vermont or New Hampshire because I saw it on the NH PBS station. Then I realized it was Canadian. Eh. Close enough I guess.
I liked the episode where Red makes his own condom and anally rapes Harold, but my mom forbid me from watching the show after that one. After all these years, were there any good episodes I missed?
The one where Harold held down Winston and made him watch as Ranger Gord had his way with his wife. Series took a dark turn after that one, I'll never forget Gord's wildlife-related quips during the act. But Winston seemed OK after a couple episodes.
Sincerely one of my favourite TV shows. It's cornball, sure, but it's earnest. I met Steve Smith in 2010 when he started touring as Red Green, and aside from being astonished how short he was, I remember leaving the theatre with my face sore from smiling and laughing which is the only time I think I've ever experienced that. I've considered subscribing to his new paywalled podcast but his son co-hosts and the guy is fricking insufferable.

I have fond memories of watching this with my brother and dad but I tried rewatching it recently and discovered it has a laugh track. Some things are better seen with rose tinted glasses...
this guy got cucked every day
The frick are you talking about?
cope
You're lost friend, this is Possum Lake not pozzed lake!
Soul, I only payed attention to the segment where he invents something though
How did they film it? This cinematography is unironically better than Succession.
Harold's editing software is top of the line
Canada's Steve Urkel.
Did they really need to do this gag on the intro for every episode? It got old real fast. Good show otherwise.
I'm pretty sure they only did the editing gag for the first couple seasons
SOVL
this shit was so boring
Frick off zoomer, you don't have an attention span
I'm no zoomer, but to be fair I only ever saw this as a kid because no healthy adult watches television
So you just have the brain of a zoomer and the body of a boomer, got it
i like the ones where he tapes 2 cars together
I remember watching it at our cabin when we'd stay there in the summer. PBS was like 1 of 4 channels we had along with nbc,cbs and abc. Good times.
Cheesehead here. Was living in Colorado and late one night stumbled upon this little gem on PBS. Got so homesick I nearly cried.

I'm rooting for you, man. I hope there's love between you and you family and I hope it never fades. Keep your stick on the ice.

>Something about Steve Smiths gravelly but kind voice helps soothe
Same here, I suspect its from watching this show as a kid
Red Green: Boomers
Joe Perra: Zoomers
used to watch it every friday

Harold isn't even that bad as far as s-o-i goes. He even got laid & married
It's literally the same schtick every episode.
And it ran for 15 season in a good time slot. It was peak canada comfy
The last era of good Canada. It's been a rapid decline ever since
I would have loved 90's Canada. It was very white, & not too socialist or capitalist.

>staying up late on sunday to watch Red Dwarf and Red Green back to back on PBS
I want to go back.
For me it was Faulty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, and Last of the Summer Wine

God bless Justin Trudeau for destroying the homosexual country of Canada.

Never knew he had kids. What makes the kid insufferable?
Just a sample of the guy
I'm not watching a fu king hour long YouTube video. Just sum it the frick up
great show, every episode is on youtube
Keep your stick on the ice!
I loved this as a kid
