Red Green needs to come back to television.

Brett Koeshall Steve Smith has got to do a Red Green movie If he's not to busy. What a way to bring back RG and expose the next generation to this iconic comedic genius.

@@ericmadsen9655 A movie was already done long before you posted that. And in a recent interview, Steve Smith said that he will NOT be returning to television, ever. He did start a Red Green podcast, though :)

[@grf15]

I've heard part of this story before. I just love how he asked for enough money to do something but not enough that the station would care what. Genius!

[@alularussell778]

Red Green made all the difference for me when I discovered his show. Wish we could do it all over again. Thank you soooo much.

[@CeeKayz0rz]

Someone tell him that Smith & Smith need to make a comeback.... They were hilarious, and worked so naturally with each other!

[@imdjc4]

And that's why 50 plus years later they're still together.

[@RobbieStrike]

One of the best Comedians I have ever seen! Can be hilarious and be PG!

[@MajorGeneralDiscomfort]

That's the most difficult kind of comedy eh lol

[@Starr15pack]

My Dad and I watched a lot of RED GREEN together in his final years.

[@mikedipple3520]

Red green taught me more than dad....for example..."never underestimate the power of yes mam"

[@Waterlooplein1]

So THAT was what that final scene was about!

[@QuinnF97]

I KNEW that wasn't Steve's real voice

[@stephenhoosick7434]

One of my favorite shows of all times,,I still watch every night before bed.........

[@gruber681]

Read remember I'm pulling for you we're all in this together so keep your stick on the ice

[@loveistheanswer8137]

There’s some Canadian blasts from the past. Red Fisher from Scuttlebutt Lodge, and Steve and his wife’s original show, Smith and Smith.

[@stiltzca33]

Love Red Green forever!!! Steve Smith your the best!

[@InternetTAB]

the woman's prayer episode was pretty good too.

[@hairychest7865]

Not only is he down to earth and funny as hell. AND a very handsome man.

“Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity”. OMG, no truer words have ever been spoken 😅

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. So did gray hair.

[@capnhawkins]

That's Olivia from Road to Avonlea beside him!

[@alanmacification]

I had a buddy who worked as a park Yogi at Long Point in the summer while he was going to university. And he was a nut for fishing and the Red Fisher Show. He rented a cottage near the park and the gang would come down on weekends and party. You'd wake up in the morning hung over or gluey eyed from weed and he'd be back from his night shift, sat in front of the TV motionless, intently and intentionally watching Red Fisher . And I thought this : " Wow, I'm watching " Red Fisher " watch Red Fisher ". Thank goodness I had a joint left from the night before, else I may have driven into Lake Erie.

Alright...

[@j-marie4006]

The characters we didn't see were just as funny as the ones we did see...loved old man Sedgewick and Junior Singleton.

[@smokesletsgo2374]

[@Dr_Do-Little]

Didn't knew about the last episode version of the man prayer! 👍

[@donaldmyers2891]

Steve, you have a beautiful wife! Your show seems to depict a usual type of wife that is not believing that you are all together! Perfect! The whole show travels in this bent! You are a spell caster! ❤️
