Silver Spring, MD — Available for the first time on DVD, The Red Green Show: The Toddlin’ Years, the collected Seasons 4–6 (1994-1996) of the Canadian comedy and longstanding PBS hit, debut on DVD from Acorn Media on November 2, 2010. Following January 2010’s release of The Infantile Years, the collected first three seasons, Canada’s most hilarious handyman continues his duct-taped misadventures in The Toddlin Years, which finds Red and his gang of manly miscreants getting older – but certainly not wiser. Serving up more of the laughs that made the show a cult classic during its 15 years of broadcast, this 9-disc boxed set includes 72 side-splitting episodes from Seasons 4 - 6 with the boys in all of their mischievous glory – dreaming up more half-baked ideas, crazy contraptions and unintended consequences ($99.99, www.AcornOnline.com).

Creator and star Steve Smith is a mastermind of north-of-the-border handyman humor with widespread appeal. Currently appearing at venues throughout the U.S., Smith’s multi-year tour continues to sell out. Akin to Home Improvement, which also debuted in 1991, The Red Green Show amassed a devout fan base during the show’s 15-year run for Red Green and his Possum Lodge friends’ adventurous antics, off-kilter advice, preposterous inventions and power tool artillery. Ending in April 2006 with exactly 300 episodes that still run in syndication, the Canadian comedy institution has spawned a feature film, specials, books, and a cult-like following.

These 72 episodes feature series regulars Ranger Gord, Bill Smith, Hap Shaughnessy, and, of course, Red’s beleaguered but beloved nephew, Harold, as well as special guests Graham Greene (Dances with Wolves) and Paul Gross (Due South; Slings & Arrows). Watch and you’ll see, they made no sense then either. The collection finds the Possum Lodge pack at their most rambunctious: trying to turn Possum Lake into a giant car battery, piloting hot-air balloons, converting an air hockey table into a jetpack, throwing a wild bachelor party, and much more. For more laughs than you can shake a hockey stick at, join Red, Harold, and all the guys at Possum Lodge for three more early years of doing what men do when women aren’t around—and some things that are even worse.

Acorn Media previously released the 1997-2001 individual season DVD collections, Red Green Show: The Infantile Years (Seasons 1993-96), as well as several specials.
