Who knew there were so many uses for the "handyman's special weapon" (duct tape)? This was a show I, and most of my male friends could easily identify with -- we were Red Green (well, some were Harolds). After all, "if the ladies don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy".

Let's recite the men's prayer one last time: "I am a man; but I can change."

Keep your stick on the ice Red.

If she doesn't find you handsome, she may as well find you handy.

You still need to learn the whole prayer!

"I'm a man,
But I can change,
If I have to,
..... I guess."

Red's great, and his appeal is to both sexes. After all, as he observed, "Men are all in the same boat.... and the women are waving from on shore."

I'm sad to see him hang it up. Unfortunately, we don't get his shows on PBS in Texas, but I did catch a few when I was in Kansas a few years back. Hilarious stuff so I bought 2 of his DVDs. Guess I need to buy more now.

One of the best things ever to come from our Northern neighbor.

From the RG site:
"A great big thank you to all of you guys who've supported the show over all these years. We've all had a lot of fun together and will always remember these adventures as highlights of our lives.

"We hope you'll continue to support the show wherever it shows up. You haven't seen it all till you've seen every one of the 300 episodes. Maybe together we can keep it on the air for your children and your children's children. They don't deserve to get off any easier than you did.

"Again thanks for everything and keep your stick on the ice."

- Red Green

By the way, Rick Green, who played Bill, was in the zany Frantics comedy troupe ("Boot to the head")

Red Green will be missed. One of my favorite lines was "Now is the winter of our discount tent". (LOL!) Good, clean humor is a rarity, and they did it well. I'm going to have to buy the DVD's.
