    Oh the memories...I lived in Detroit in 2009 and across the river was Windsor,Ontario...and this gem of a show was always a hoot. How this chap came up with so many great inventive ideas. The Red Green program was the jewel in the crown in cross culture TV. How I marveled at these shows..."Are you being served"..."keeping up appearances"..."the avengers"....many laughs and drama from the friendly Canuks.....CKLW rules!!

    Man did I love this show. The only problem was: I am french canadian and 99.9% of people around me didn't speak english, so I had no one to share these jokes with. Trust me when I say that if Québec was to seperate from Canada, (or when Canada wisened up and finally decided to kick us idiots out) , my allegiance was decided a long time ago.

      My French Canadian heritage began in 1668 with the arrival of my first Canadian ancestor. Frankly, I am ashamed by what the French Canadian identity has become. ATTENTION QUEBECOIS: you're not special. Stop trying to destroy my country.
