    The Red Green Show is essentially a cross between a sitcom and a sketch comedy series, and it is a parody of many home-improvement, do-it-yourself, fishing and other outdoors shows (particularly the Red Fisher Show). Each episode unfolds through a series of mostly-unconnected comedic sketches, but unlike a true sketch comedy, all sketches draw from the same single set of characters.

    The title character, Red Green (Steve Smith), is a lazy handyman who generally tries to find shortcuts to most of his projects, trusting the vast majority of his work to duct tape (which he calls the handyman's secret weapon." He is the president of the Possum Lodge, a fictional men's club in the small town of Possum Lake, Canada, near the also-fictional town of Port Asbestos. He and his fellow lodge members have their own TV show (which is more or less the show itself), in which they give humorous lessons and demonstrations in repairwork and fishing, and advice for men on relating to women, among other things. The characters Bob & Doug McKenzie, from SCTV’s Great White North sketch, are an obvious comparison and a likely inspiration.

    The show's basic concept is that it is a cable TV show, taped in part on a hand-held camera by Red's nephew Harold, arguably Canada's most famous nerd. The show's structure has evolved over time and now includes several regular segments that appear in almost every show. These segments are interspersed with each episode's three main plot segments, and they include such staples as the "Possum Lodge Word Game", "Handyman Corner", and "Adventures With Bill" (a slapstick home movie-style sketch with a voiceover by Red)

    Basically, our mission is to Imagineer a Disneyland made out of common stuff that can be adhoced together to make an inexpensive Disneyland worthy of Possum Lodge.
