The Red Green Show Ep 103 "The Network Deal" (1995 Season)

[@johndeschenes8369]

This is one of the best “Adventures with Bill” !

[@lechatbotte.]

Man I love Harold. This word game rocks

[@00Skyfox]

I haven't seen this episode in probably 20 years, and just like back then it had me in tears laughing when we'd hear the loud boom followed by the shrieking from a hip wader welt.

[@ianswift7922]

When Red starts reading the cue cards, I started laughing hard like never before!

[@lesliematyas1921]

so agree,,,,only a canadian show can make this funny . i love the 2 x4 pushing the chair closer to Red .

Best Word Game ever

2:34 i thought maybe Red would reply " ok, i'll keep the quirk if i can lose the jerk" pointing at Harold

[@ernestlemmingway1124]

If the Canadians knew twenty-six years ago that cookie-cutter network shows were a joke, why does Hollywood still produce them?

[@samgarofalo2461]

Harold was great with the word game. It was an easy one for red

[@lesliematyas1921]

this is the best red green show...love the new beatrice and harold ...

[@WrathchildNH]

I was born in 1963 and grew up in small town New Hampshire.... this has always been very relatable... my best friends dad was from Moncton Canada and dressed exactly like Red but back in the 70's …. chainsaws in the background, snowmobiles parked all over.... back yard mechanics... we built many dangerous things with engines on them when I was a teenager....

[@johndeschenes8369]

I was born in 1962 in Maine and watched this show on the local PBS channel in Lewiston.

[@colemanadamson5943]

I really enjoy and appreciate the Canadians ability to poke fun at the U.S. and even themselves. Canada has a sense of humor unsurpassed. p.s. I wondered whether Red would call the hand winch a "come-a-long". That's what my dad and I called it when we worked fixing automobiles.

[@AlexSnow96]

He did, and in at least one other episode as well.

[@travisrolison9646]

Im from michigan and we say come along as well.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

Its named a “come along” since it was invented- by an American! Has nothing to do with being Canadian, just that the name fell out of favor over the years

[@bostonrailfan2427]

Travis Rolison a lot of people call it that, it’s the original name...it got renamed “power winch” later on when the patent expired so generic models could be made cheap

[@stanleytryhard1825]

Cue card scene is funny enough for SNL in the 70's! Funnier!

[@mikegraeber3482]

I watch this one a lot. I googled Gordon Pinset to remind myself what else he had done. I didn't realize he had passed in February

[@CornishGuilt]

I'm American, this show totally would've worked on American TV. It reminds me a lot of Married With Children.

[@glenngriffon8032]

I watched this as a teenager back in the 90's when it came on PBS. Not a lot of things my family watched together but late night PBS stuff would get us together and The Red Green Show was one of those things. Personally I like this season here the most. It's connected to a lot of very fond memories for me. Plus I love Buzz Sherwood.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

...it worked, it was called Home Improvement. Red is Tim Taylor but without the family side of the show

@@ianfinrir8724 No, he wasn't. Tim Taylor loved his tools, and I don't recall him ever using duct tape. He had Al, instead of Harold. They were polar opposites.

[@bluebear1985]

I never really thought of it like that, but it does make sense now that I do think about it.

[@--BiZ--]

favorite episode by far

[@pacetti07]

It's a good thing they didn't have a deal with a major American network. I like this show just the way it is.

[@XanthinZarda]

Well, sure. It was on a major American network. Just so happened to be PBS. :p

[@bostonrailfan2427]

PBS is a major American network, it ran throughout the country on PBS...they didn’t change the show due to it not doing that to shows unless they are extremely offensive

[@ChrisRussell99]

@@bostonrailfan2427 is that a compliment for this show? That's just funny. And in the spirit of Mike, they're weird like that

good ol Harold and dalton ,,,this word game was the funniest one .

[@NewEnglandOtaku]

I think that the reason the Network turned them down was due to Harold.

How many of you people understood Harold's joke that Red could be Mary Pickford? To explain it a bit, she was an actress born in Canada, but she mainly became famous during the silent film era.

[@krispybacon9285]

so what your saying is, for Canadians to be successful they need to go to the USA? man way to slam Canada...

[@bluebear1985]

@@krispybacon9285 I wasn't slamming anyone. I just wasn't sure how many people understood the joke. To me, Harold was making a slightly subtle jab at Red, that's all.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

She also was known for constantly criticizing her kids...which Red is known for alongside the segments

[@fireballxl-5748]

The writing for the Hap character was awesome but they kinda failed here at the end. To so directly challenge Hap's character with a stunt that would destroy his paradigm would possibly be fatal to the character's existence. Even the great actor, Gordon Pinsent could not do well at the end of this episode. IMO.

You have to get my uncle to say (giggling like a giddy school girl) and every time he looked at the word he kept giggling and then he touched the sign and giggled again. They stated and Dalton coughed over and over, and Red said SEX and it overloaded Harold. EPIC (for the show).

I knew what a 2 4 was, as in the USA a Case usually makes people think you have 30 beers in it.

If I remember from when I worked at a grocery store. Budweiser came 24 for the case, and Bush, natty light, etc came in 30 to a case.

[@caseysmith544]

@@travisrolison9646 and 24 and 30 is a Coors case, more common the 24 for Coors. The other beer they make Coors light and Keystone light are 30 more often and then Blue Moon is found very easy as both. Miller is 24 for high life including better from bottles can find 24 and 30 for Miller and Miller light it is 30 for a pack. Cheep stuff in USA is Hamm's and that is always sold in 12 or 30

FWIW, most Americans know the metric system anyway. All we need to know is which system you're using and we'll figure it out from there.

[@markmenning1804]

Harold is right America should have metric system

[@williammerkel1410]

No

[@michaelterrell]

We do, but even countries that use the Metric system simply convert the inch into mm. Otherwise, why would ICs have 2.54 mm center to center lead spacing? Or a 48.26cm width for rack mounted equipment? My last job was at a company that built specialized Telemetry electronics. We sold and shipped to countries that claimed not to allow the import of non metric based equipment, yet we never had a problem.
