Editorial Review:
It was a very good mostly okay not-as-bad-as-it-could-have-been year.
Wit and wisdom of Possum Lodge
Written by and starring Steve Smith
As Red says, "You have to grow old, but you don’t have to mature." Eight years into its 15-year run, The Red Green Show showed no signs of maturity. This complete season of the public television hit sees Red at his most inventive, making a heart pacemaker out of a digital clock and trying to run the lodge electrical system from a car cigarette lighter, just to name a couple dismal but hilarious failures. It was also the year that Red ran for mayor and Harold ran off . . . to college. College??
Join Red, Harold, and all the guys at Possum Lodge for a year’s worth of doing what men do when women aren’t around—and some things that are even worse. "Red is a manly man with a bent brain pan . . . a hip cult classic" —The Detroit Free Press

Description of The Red Green Show - 1998 Season:
In its eighth year, the Canadian comedy series carries on its absurdist brand of rustic humor in The Red Green Show: 1998 Season. As always, the Possum Lodge's indefatigable handyman, Red Green (Steve Smith), proves a never-ending fount of ideas about turning junkyard debris into modern conveniences and applying a bit of know-how to applications of duct tape on anything and everything. 1998 Season gets off to a scary start with the prospect of Red’s nebbish nephew Harold (Patrick McKenna) leaving the show to attend college, which might be true or might be a ploy to earn Red’s respect and attention. (The pre-credits teaser is one of the series’ best: Red offering a suggestion about how to keep birds from crashing into one’s picture window.) "House Moving" is literally that, an episode about moving an old building by balancing it on pick-up trucks. Guest star Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves) is around in a show in which Red demonstrates how to turn a car into a backhoe. "College Life" raises the prospect of Harold going off to school again, this time sharing an apartment with three girls, a situation for which he is less than prepared. In "Free Apricots," a tractor-trailer flips and provides Red and his chums with a large supply of the fruit; meanwhile, Red invents a car jack that goes really, really high. The very funny "Town Services Contract" finds the Possum Lodge boys receiving a contract for towing, snow-plowing, and ambulance services to Possum Lake. One of the best episodes of the season, "Mad About You," concerns Harold attempting to teach Red about anger management, an effort that goes hilariously awry. --Tom Keogh
The Red Green Show - 1998 Season Reviews:
Love it! 
2009-06-22 - We really love the Red Green Show. It keeps us laughing and laughing. We highly recommend it.
One of my favs.
2008-12-17 - I absolutely love the new format of the show! I saw this back in the early 90s when they actually showed meetings right through at the end..lol
great season
2008-09-03 - As with all of the other shows this set is great;I only wish they would bring out the previous ones as well.
Funny!
2008-07-07 - Good stuff! If you like Red Green at all, you will love this set!
If She Doesn't Find You Hansom, At Least Let Her Find You Handy
2008-06-03 - Male silliness at its best. Safe enough for the kids to watch also. A semi-parody of Home Improvement with just the men. Through out the coarse of the series you will see every use of duct tape known to man. Great fun!
