Red Green Is Special

BARGAIN BOX SET INCLUDES NEW DVD WITH PBS SPECIAL AND CLIPS FROM THE FINAL SHOW #300
What this box set offers that has not yet been made DVD available is "The Red Green Story: We're All in This Together" a 90 minute special. The Red Green Show ran for 15 years and ended at the decision of originator, writer, and star, Steve Smith. He is Red Green. He made Red Green. This single DVD (only 1/4th of the box set) is worth the purchase. The 3 extra DVDs are outrageously funny gravy. If you own them already, gift the new copies. Your benefactor will love you AND Red Green.

The amazing hilarious reunion (with show segments), made after the final 300th episode of The Red Green Show, puts an intellectual slant on the actors and creators of the series. Fantastic. Red Green (Steve Smith for real) is as thoughtful, intellectual, and wise as he was outrageous, comical, and stupidly naive portraying Red Green. It is twice the fun to hear comments and then view a segment. What brought on the bit's idea? What went wrong--besides the planned laughable misadventure of...

A nice collection of the retrospect specials. 3 re-releases, 1 new.
First let me state, I have a advance review copy.

This set contains Four specials from The Red Green Show, three of which were previously released individually years ago. But one new one stands out.

THE RED GREEN STORY: WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER (2008). Approx. 90 min. 16:9 Widescreen with windowboxed clips. [closed captioned]
Documentary
Two years after the final episode, cast members reminisce about the show's remarkable run in this Canadian TV special that ran on PBS in the states. Rare clips, audition anecdotes, and production memories tell the behind-the-scenes story of the little show that could-even when it probably shouldn't have. It is great that old VHS clips exist of Richard McKenna performing on an amateur stage in Second City. You want to see more as he is doing Harold! There are also early clips of Steve Smith doing his Red Green persona before starting the show. Other clips are segments pulled from the shows. I do wish there were...

Great for Red Green fans.
I got this for my boss. He loves the show and they no longer have it on in our area.
