7:28 - I had a boyhood friend in the early 1970s who evidently had too much excess energy or so his dad and the authorities thought . And he usually used his supposed excess energy towards the pre red green sponsored Mike Hammer way of life . His father bought a used push mower and forced him to do the lawn with it . And always giving him extra chores hours after his brothers and sisters were out enjoying summer time . About 1 or 2 pm he'd be done . His dad thought these extra chores and work was doing him good . We'd meet up or he'd go out on his own And he still was a hell raiser , sowing his oats way too young and got in trouble in general and usually found a way out of it . For some reason he was always kind and generous towards me his diminutive , quiet ( now i can't stop yapping ), on the chubby side friend . He was a lot of fun to hang around with . I truly miss him . Hope he's doing well or at least in a program like Mike with Red :- )

Smith made the Canada TV series for many years. It switched networks & prodcos then became the "new" Red Green series... btw: see RedGreen.com for the 2019 USA & Canada tour dates... 👍

[@bostonrailfan2427]

yes/no. I joined in late and missed a lot of the episodes and the local PBS station stopped showing newer ones because they weren't getting ratings so I missed the last few seasons

[@krieger9253]

I’m like 18 and I love this show. Why did they stop making them

[@AlexSnow96]

Because of Steve Smith's (Red's) age and health.

I hate to tell Harold this but reality television is more fake then regular TV. all the stories are fake, rehearsed, and exaggerated. What makes it even more fake is they are passing it off as real.

[@lesliehughes8700]

Lol! This episode was extra funny to me. Most episodes make me smile. Some are so stupid it makes them funny. But this one made me laugh several times out loud. The reality of the Reality Show episode was a great spoof on Reality shows in general. Survival reality shows are interesting. Love on the Rocks (island) reality shows are just the saddest displays of what the young think is necessary to find a partner. Everything is external. But relationships that succeed are about inter integrity and faithfulness and self-sacrifice. You find none of these on those shows. Just wanting instead of giving. Manipulation and seduction instead of honesty and a little humility. Those people are self seeking missiles of destruction. And it is very sad to watch. So Red Green is refreshing with its sarcasm toward all the stupid in this world. Lol. Jesus said that toward the end of this age that people would become worshipers of themselves and self-entitled or self-seeking in New Testament words. It’s happening lol!!! But God says He loved the whole world so much that He sent His Son to save us from our own sin and His One and Only Son gave His life in payment on cross at Calvary to make us right before God. And whoever believes this will be set free from what He calls the second death, which is our spirit eternally separated from the goodness of God Himself. Right now we have never experienced complete separation from His goodness on this earth, no matter how ugly things can get. So that is difficult to understand. But it will happen at the Judgement Seat of God as written in our Bibles. Anyone not believing in God’s Son will not be written in another of His books called The Book of Life. He gives us the right to choose life by believing Christ or death that is eternal. Choose wisely because once your heart stops beating, the choice has been made, whatever that may be. Heads you win, tails you lose! May you know the love of Jesus which is life itself. 🌹

Doesn't matter how much pull u have sometimes u need a push

[@VromNath]

"It doesn't how much pull you have, sometimes you need a push." This is exactly the kind of mentality I had that solved a family problem with towing an old car up a steep driveway; since towing did nothing, I suggested ramming it up with my idiot dad's truck, and we eventually got the car up with a full force push.

[@John5.24]

[@nicflatterie7772]

From a technical point of view, how did they film the pond scene? There are no waves, 10 years ago drones were not common and they are noisy, a camera crane would have to be huge, …

[@Dark_Mishra]

Personally, I think Reality tv is one of the worst genres on cable. If I want to watch drama, I can look outside and watch the neighbors argue in the street. Comedies as funny as this show are definitely rare. Too bad this show ended like 15 years ago.

I just backed off from being about to guess. I'd be more interested to get some understanding from someone who actually built sets or seen how such camera flybys were done before flying drone cameras.

[@jasonlisonbee]

It's possible a DVD set might include those instructions. Many movie DVDs include videos to show how they were made.

hidden track for the camera just below the surface and a low angle shot from a distance hiding the wake the camera moving along the track makes...it's a cheap and easy trick that worked for them
