The Red Green Show is pure comedy genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been watching for a few years now, I accidentally tuned into the show while in a cabin with my wife. She was not thrilled... My wife only finds small bits of humor in this show. (No accounting for taste =) ). I have heard her crack up a few times watching it though...

I think it is a great show and I enjoy cracking up to it each time I watch it. I enjoy handyman corner and the vintage film look of the narrative portions where Red tells a story to what is going on in the silent video. How do they come up with the inventions they show off on the show? I was fortunate enough to visit Toronto to see a live taping of the show this year. I was sad to learn the show is ending after fifteen seasons! It was a great treat to see how a television show is made. I would be anxious to get in line to buy a box set or seasons of this show on DVD. I would buy them all!!! Silly humor like this is priceless! Thanks Steve and crew for 15 great seasons!!!!!
