Red Green is a TV show coming out of Canada. In the US, it is broadcast on PBS in about 85 markets. The show is set at a lodge in the north woods where the guys, er, well,... the guys are typical guys. Meaning they have their idiosyncracies. And they like duct tape. It satarizes the "north woods" perfectly. As my friend put it, kind of a cross between Bob & Doug McKenzie and Home Improvement.
Planning-related themes are common. Here are a few examples:
- The men try to convert an abandoned gold mine into an underground parking lot. In a flood district.
- The men at the Lodge decide to convert their vehicles to run on firewood.
- Following an accidental cement spill, Red and the boys decide to make Possum Lake into a water theme park.
- A group of bandy-legged vegetarian filmmakers invade Possum Lodge to shoot a documentary on the environmental fallout of manly behavior.
- Using the sewers, the men turn downtown Possum Lake into an indoor mall.
A great show.
