Silver Spring, MD — The Red Green Show: 2001 Season, the complete eleventh season of the crowd-pleasing Canadian comedy and PBS hit, debuts on DVD from Acorn Media on February 24, 2009. Creator and star Steve Smith features north-of-the-border handyman humor in the vein of Home Improvement, which also debuted on television in 1991.

Armed with power tools, off-kilter advice, and preposterous inventions, Red Green and his pals from Possum Lodge amassed a giant fan base during the show’s 15-year run, which ended in April 2006 with exactly 300 episodes. A Canadian comedy institution still running in syndication, the series has spawned a feature film, specials, books, and a cult-like following.

In the 17 episodes from the eleventh season, Red’s nephew Harold returns to Possum Lake as the town’s new head of public relations, which is both welcome and troublesome to Red. Meanwhile at the lodge, Mike tries to be a daredevil, Ranger Gord goes on strike, and Harold accidentally rents out the lodge to nudists. Red, of course, comes up with even crazier contraptions, including a castle car and lawn-mower coffeemaker. As always, the series is full of lighthearted backwoods humor perfect for the guy’s guy—and those who like to laugh at him.

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.

2001 Season episodes include: New Job in Town, Gladiator, The Whooping Crane, Back to Nature, Dalton’s Hot Gift, Viva Las Possums, Y2 Cans, The Ghost of Possum Lodge, The Chainsaw, Something in the Heir, Daredevil, Mike Goes Straight, Xmas in July, The Fishing Derby, Masquerade Marathon, Harold’s Dilemma, and Red Green Does New Year’s (60 min. special)
