The Red Green Show is essentially a cross between a sitcom and a sketch comedy series, and is a parody of home improvement, do-it-yourself, fishing, and other outdoor performances (notably The Red Fisher Show ). The re-show is currently live on CBC Television, The Comedy Network, and various PBS stations. It's manufactured by S & amp; S Productions, owned by Steve and Morag Smith. Directors on the series include Steve Smith, Rick Green and William G. Elliott.
During the long show, The Red Green Show was nominated for 23 Gemini Awards, but only won once: in 1998, for Best Performance in Comedy Programs or Series .
Video The Red Green Show
Events
The title character, Red Green (Steve Smith), is a handyman who tries to find a shortcut for most of his projects, trusting most of his work for masking tape, which he calls "the artisan's secret weapon." He is president of Possum Lodge, a fictitious men's club in the small town of Possum Lake in northwest Ontario, near the fictitious city of Port Asbestos. He and his fellow members have their own TV show where they provide lessons and demonstrations in repair work and outdoor activities, and advice for men.
Segment
The basic concept of the show was a cable TV show, recorded on a handheld camera by Harold's nephew. The event structure evolves over time and includes some regular segments that appear in almost every episode. These segments are interspersed with three main flow segments of each episode. The most frequent segments are "The Possum Lodge Word Game", "Handyman Corner", and "Adventures with Bill".
Handyman Angle
Red tries to show creative and often funny ways to handle relatively common tasks, such as dumping or using abandoned cars, or for creating something fancy from anything he can get. The impressive examples include a paddlewheeler made of vans on pallets and turnstiles, a jetpack made of two propane tanks, a hybrid car from a recycled golf cart and satellite dish, and a kiddie ride made of bar stools attached to the agitator of a washing machine. Lakban, "the artisan's secret weapon," is almost always the binder of choice. In one episode, he tries to tap into the Ontario-Quebec border as a potential solution to Quebec's separatism. Segments that are generally inferred with the saying "If the women do not find you handsome, they should at least find you useful."
Adventure with Bill
A black-and-white segment in the form of a narrated home movie, where Red and Bill attempt to complete a task, try sport, or go on an adventure, always leading to a slapstick comedy. Later in the series, other characters are displayed, sometimes without Red or Bill. When the action happens, Red tells each adventure.
Word Game Possum Lodge
Structured like Password or Pyramid , the goal is to get the contestant say a particular word in 30 seconds by giving them various hints. In this program, however, contestants almost always provide answers that are either way or very strange across segments. They will eventually say the correct word by mistake or through the use of a grouping of words or other words that sound similar to the answer. Often Harold (or whoever hosts the match) will announce the week's prize in a misleading way, to make it sound much more interesting.
North Forty
Red provides wise advice from behind his tying workbench table, usually talking to an older man about married life or tackling a changing society ("Let's face it", he quips in one episode, "these days, if you're not young , You're old. ") This segment always ends with," Remember, I'm interesting for you.We're all together in this. "
System Buddy
Red and other characters, standing together at the bottom of the basement stairs at close range, gave the guy advice on how to get out of various jams, usually with their wives, though, in later seasons, Red was often replaced by other characters.
Poems and songs
In previous episodes, Red often reads small pieces of poetry in the forest. Segments are named depending on the season and have a funny touch to the famous proverb. For example, the winter segment is named "Winter of Our Discount Tent".
In many performances, Red and Harold can be seen sitting on a bonfire, with Red usually strumming the guitar and singing a genuine humorous song with Harold providing vocal and percussion accents with items such as spoons, gas cans, and metal trash. In later seasons, the characters gave a short biographical sketch (consisting of a variety of strange historical photographs accompanied by narratives) of the famous "Possum Lake" population.
Call of Men and Experts
A regular segment in which Harold would read a letter that allegedly came from the audience and Red would answer it, often misinterpreting what the audience was asking. It evolved into "The Experts," in which Red and other characters responded to alleged letters from viewers, and always gave silly suggestions, often arguing about what the audience meant or needed.
"The Experts" are always introduced to one of the lodge members (usually Harold, Mike, Dalton, or Winston) saying, "Welcome to the 'Experts' section of the event where we examine three small words hard to find by people.. "The audience, in front of which the show was filmed, will then sing in unison," I DO NOT KNOW! "
Character specific segment
An "educational" cartoon from Ranger Gord (featuring anthropomorphic animals similar to Red and Harold) and occasional suggestion segments with Dalton Humphrey, Winston Rothschild and Mike Hamar.
In the season Mike Hamar is introduced, he often tries to help Red around the inn, but with a ludicrous result due to a mis-communication or Mike trying to imitate a shortcut shortcut Red.
Hap Shaughnessy appears in many segments, and always tells strange stories about his life, and sometimes other characters, who will doubt Hap's claims, and start making jokes about them. Among other things, Hap claims to have become an astronaut, to fight Sonny Liston, to create television and basketball, and once counseled Walt Disney about how many fingers were worn on Mickey Mouse. Mike's Teen Talk Mike's Teen Talk
Mike Hamar gives shameful suggestions to adolescents who contradict common sense (like why it's profitable to be stupid).
Conclusions and credits
The show usually ends with Red giving a message to his wife, Bernice (usually a double player), and gives her a distinctive signature cut in the form of a hockey metaphor: "Keep playing ice." This was followed by the general meeting of Possum Lodge membership while the credit rolled out, which began with a ritual stating the motto of the Lodge: Quando omni flunkus moritati (Pseudo-Latin for "When all else fails, play dead"). From season six onwards, this is often followed by the Men's Prayer: "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I think." In the final episode of the series, the revised version of prayer is said: "I'm a man, but I change, because I have to. Oh, all right." Steve Smith later identified that this was a tribute to his wife, Morag, who only commented, "Oh well, after seeing the first episode back in 1991. In one episode, the woman took over the Possum Lodge and turned the prayer into" I'm a woman, listen to me, roar. I'm in charge, stop that. "

History
Smith originally created the Red Green character for his 1979-1985 sketch comedy series Smith & amp; Smith . The sketch is a parody of the long-running Canadian outdoor show The Red Fisher Show (1968-1989), starring BH "Red" Fisher, where Red and his friends will show a silent film of their fishing. trip with commentary on "Scuttlebutt Lodge". Characters also appear in Me & amp; Max and The Comedy Mill before being the focus of his series.
The Red Green Show was first produced by CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario, then by CFPL-TV in London, and later by Global Television Network, before finally finding its permanent home on CBC Television for the 1997 Season seventh) and so on. The show is named The New Red Green Show after moving to Global, and will retain this title until the second season on CBC.
The show ended 7 April 2006 after the 15th season with exactly 300 episodes. (This long life inspires a joke in one episode, where Red says "The question is, can you do something with nonsense?" Clearly the answer is yes, we are in the fourteenth season. ")
The last episode was filmed on November 5, 2005, at the Harwood Showline Studios location. As the season began to record, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation locked down staff members of the Canadian Media Guild, so regular studio shows at the Canadian Broadcasting Center were not available. The final episode concludes with a show breaking the fourth wall by thanking the audience and fans for their popularity. In addition, the Person's Prayer was changed to "I'm a man/but I'm changing/because I have to/Oh, yeah."
Duct Tape Forever's low budget film (2002) is based on The Red Green Show . It played in American theaters of choice, but did not receive extensive release. Since then it sometimes appears on PBS stations during binding of appointments. It is also available on DVD.
As the show gets more popular, Steve Smith also writes a syndicated newspaper column, such as Red Green, titled North 40 where he will advise the reader.
In previous years, the show will feature live mini-telethons (sometimes called "Red Green") for public television stations in the United States. This usually coincides with national PBS fundraising, and features contests between the various PBS stations that carry the show. This is done to encourage new stations to bring Red Green, for those who already have it to continue, and within a year, Red by throwing out stations that choose to stop the show on wheelbarrows.
Since 2000, Red Green has been the "Scotch Duct Tape Ambassador" for 3M.
On December 14, 2008, a special retrospective entitled "The Red Green Story-We All In This Together" was broadcast on certain PBS stations. Special released on DVD along with a book. Also, despite stating after the last episode of the show that he planned to permanently retire his character, in 2010, Smith started the "Wit and Wisdom Comedy Tour", where he gave live performances as Red Green in cities across the United States and Canada..
On November 29, 2012, Steve Smith announced his new "How to Do" Tour that began in Canada in the fall of 2013 before going to the US in the spring of 2014. The 2016 North American Tour, "I'm Not Old, I'm Ripe", starts in March and ended in May, with stops in 25 cities in the US.
Rerun
From September 1998 to 7 August 2017, The Red Green Show airs on The Comedy Network. From 2002 to 2005, reruns were aired on the CBC, Thursday at 12:30 pm and Saturday at 18:30 East.
Main characters
Red Green
Red Red Show, Red (Steve Smith) is the leader of Possum Lodge and a self-proclaimed man who constantly praises the virtues of duct tape ("secret weapon of the scribe"). She is married to Bernice Green and has no children. He is rarely seen without his distinctive red and green suspenders and Canadian military field maneuver caps.
According to the biography of DVD Red, Red becomes the leader of Possum Lodge after gradually becoming more involved with it over time and being "the only one who is not hated by anyone." At one point, he borrowed a large sum of money from his brother just before his brother lost his job at the bank. In payment, Red employs his nephew Harold as producer and director of The Red Green Show .
In addition to being a handyman, Red also has some major philosophies in life, some of which are forwarded to the cottage as a whole. Chief among them is the phrase "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (pseudo-Latin for "When all else fails, play dead"). He also concluded each segment of his Handyman Corner with the phrase, "If the women do not find you handsome, they should at least find you useful."
Red has what is known as "Possum Van", a 1976-1993 Dodge Ram cargo van, painted as a gray possum on a pale blue background, and with a plate just reading "POSSUM". This is one of the few Red vehicles that actually run. It has played (and contributed) many sections in the Handyman's Corner projects . After the series ended, the van was canceled.
The red, often sarcastic intelligence is balanced by a strong sense of friendship with his fellow cottage members, in part because he directs most of the sarcasm towards Harold. Nevertheless, Harold and the whole Possum Lodge seem to regard Red with great respect, though sometimes some innkeepers will challenge his authority in one way or another.
Harold Green
Harold (Patrick McKenna) is Red's niece and fictitious producer and director of The Red Green Show. She is a nerd - she has a significant overbite, wearing thick glasses, is very passionate and sensitive. He is often surprised by the behavior of other cottage members (and even Red himself), and he tries hard to change everyone's behavior, usually with little or no success.
Harold's sophisticated knowledge of computers, television and technology initially gave him a job as producer and director of TV shows, often using portable devices with dial and keyboard, used to create visual effects and event transitions, even though he did not have in the season. Later in the history of the show, he was hired in Multicorp and went to work in the neighboring town of Port Asbestos. He later became the publicity manager for Possum Lake, and eventually fell in love with Bonnie (Laurie Elliott), a commercial truck driver who shared almost all his unusual behavior. Both married in the last episode of the series.
Harold and Red spend much of their time in insult trading events and make fun of each other. Although they have shown that they can work with each other at times, Harold is often very critical of Red's ideas and schemes, but usually ends up going with them.
In the film Duct Tape Forever, Harold is not a member of Possum Lodge. In the end, the brotherhood accepted him and brought him inside.
Dalton Humphrey
Dalton (Bob Bainborough) is the owner of Humphrey Goods Store and is one of Red's best friends. He is one of the few financially successful members of the cottage. He's stingy and tries to save as much money as possible, reduce time and cheat people. When she does not complain about the state of things in her shop, she usually complains about her marriage with Ann Marie and their girls' spending habits.
Dalton has been with performances since season 4, and takes part in most of the main storyline of the show. He has a strong relationship with Red, joins him on his fishing trip and takes part in many aspects of Possum Lodge operations. He also takes the role of father very seriously, often trying to pass on his ideas and his wisdom to others (especially Harold). He generally tells people what he thinks of them, even if it means offending them.
Ann Marie only appears on the screen once, in the final episode, where she and Dalton renew their wedding vows (her face obscured by her wedding veil); However, he is sometimes seen in the shadows in a scene near their home (his voice is provided by Jennifer Irwin). Their daughter, Tabitha, appeared in the movie Duct Tape Forever, played by Tracy Dawson, even though there she used the name Mandy. Mike Hamar's
Mike (Wayne Robson) is a career villain who joins the Possum Lodge while parole from a federal prison. He has been Red's best friend and often tries to help around the Lodge, even though he is not very good at general handyman work. He talks a lot about his troubled childhood - mostly about his mother (exotic dancers) and many "dads". Mike suffers from low self-esteem and poor planning, usually causing the people around him to try to comfort him again. He is the only character who regularly calls Red "Green Master". As revealed in the final episode, Mike eventually becomes a police officer.
Winston Rothschild III
Winston (Jeff Lumby) is the owner and sole employee of Rothschild's Sewage and Septic Sucking Services. Like Dalton and Mike, Winston is one of Red Green's friends and takes part in the day-to-day operations at Possum Lodge. He was always seen wearing a hard hat, white button-down shirt, bowtie and hip waders. He is generally optimistic and has a positive outlook on life, and can usually see the bright side of things even in the face of certain disasters. He is also a fan of self help speakers Anthony Anthony (whom he likes to quote) and Walter Mollusk.
A true businessman, Winston outlines the waste and sucks on the septic as his lifelong dream. He has his own equipment and septic trucks - apparently the only means of transportation, even on a date that usually does not work. Throughout the series, he appeared in ads that advertised his septic business, almost always with a humorous sarcasm ("We're number one in business number two"; "We'll take the smell out of your hand"; "We came by truck and went in a day " etc.). In the next episode, her ads tend to parody the advertising campaigns of a number of Canadian companies.
He also has a tendency to obscure certain phrases and adages, saying things like "Significant Mother" or "Catch-23".
Bill Smith
Bill (Rick Green) is the star of the "Adventure with Bill" segment, where he and at least one other character (usually Red) try to perform relatively simple tasks or try sports or games in the most accident-prone places possible way. (This segment is done in a silent home movie format with dubbing by Red.) Bill rarely actually speaks, and only appears on the main set of events in the second season (still secretly) and in the final episode of the series - It's also the only Bill's times were ever seen in color (although he appears in color at the end of the credit sequence for the first season, at least), because the "Adventure" segment is shown in black & white. When things go wrong, because there are always episodes, Bill can be heard as a muffled scream; this is the anticipation of the injury, not the actual injury, as Bill screamed as he fell from the ladder, not when he hit the ground. In some segments, Bill can be heard talking in bullshit, but the explanation for not hearing it clearly is usually that the camera they use for this segment has a weak microphone. Later in the event history, the "Adventure with Bill" segment expanded to include more characters, and not necessarily Bill himself.
In every "Adventure" segment where Bill appears, he usually tries to do something outdoors, like backpacking, building things, cutting trees, or playing sports. Every action is basically a slapstick comedy routine - for example, when he swings an ax, he flies out of his hand and crashes into another character or Possum Van Merah. In what had become a classic occurrence, Bill often managed to knock one or both side mirrors off the van. He can also store large appliances and other items in his overalls, and pull them out on demand. Many segments show Bill injured somehow, but it does not seem serious or permanent. (One segment mainly ends with Bill's arm being smashed and flattened in the wine press.) There is generally no continuity of one "Adventure" segment to the next, and Bill returns to the next episode, as good as the new one.
Ranger Gord
Ranger Gord (Peter Keleghan) is a local forest guard who spends almost all his time alone on Fire Watch Tower 13 and, later in series, Tower 3. His full name is Gordon Ranger, but he prefers not to be called "Ranger Ranger." dressed in his ranger clothes (which apparently the washing machine uses only a hairdryer), and he finds various eccentric ways to spend his time, even when Red visits. For example, he has been seen making natural sound cassettes by imitating animal sounds into a tape recorder, and he claims to use baked beans as his alarm clock. In one episode, he was found by Red to hibernate.
Gord has been working in his watch tower for over eighteen years without a salary and claims to have been a lifeguard for the rest of his life. The obvious reason for being a ranger is that he thinks Smokey Bear is talking directly to him in one of his famous public service announcements ("Only you can prevent forest fires"). She often cries during Red's visit when she talks about how lonely she is and/or how much she sacrifices at her job. In one visit, Gord admitted so lonely that he ate the watchtower and then moved on to another tower in the 7th season. Gord sometimes regretted his lack of recognition. One time, he thought that someone had given him some medal of honor only to learn from Red that they were beer bottle caps (Gord thought that Budweiser's hat was "a bud from the forest"). On another occasion, Gord justified his lack of communication with his superiors as a sign that he was doing "a good job of protecting the forest", which Red suggests that his boss is likely to forget about it. Actually, it turns out he'd been fired years ago, but the message never got to him.
Later in the series (seasons 9 through 13, between 1999 and 2004), Ranger Gord made a series of 23 short "educational" cartoons on the environment. Written, animated, produced, directed and voiced by Gord himself, these films always feature an animated version of Gord as a muscle-bound superhero, and Red and Harold Green make appearances as' possums and beavers, respectively. (Dalton and Mike also appear in one short, described as bears and raccoons, respectively.) The cartoon's subjects include making money at the end of the rainbow, planting cell phones to grow telephone poles, and rekindle flames-fighting the sun and ultraviolet rays turn them off. The cartoons were actually written by a staff writer who started with Shaun Graham, who wrote six original shorts. All 23 shorts are designed, directed, and animated by Bryce Hallett of Frog Feet Productions.
The original fire watch tower shown in the 1-2 season was a tree house in Steve Smith's backyard in Hamilton, Ontario, which he prepared for his sons. From season 3 to 6, it was filmed in an actual watch tower (in fact located in Port Carling, Ontario.). In season 8, it is a set. Gord appeared in the cottage during season 7, saying that he had eaten two front legs of the tower and caused it to fall. In the film Duct Tape Forever, the tower has been burned and Ranger Gord then served at the railway station located at the end of an unfinished track section and thus where no trains have ever been run; this is an obvious thing to Gord who still has a "dead end", just as his own guarded forest-guard position is ignored by the National Forest Service.
Edgar K. B. Montrose
Edgar Montrose (Graham Greene) is a fan of Possum Lodge explosives. He believes that any problems (including leaking roofs and invasive weeds) can be solved with explosives. He is usually seen wearing overalls, cracked construction helmets and a pair of ear protectors, although he rarely covers his ears with them. According to him, Edgar was born in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, and he started using explosives at a young age. He was later enlisted in the Army and dismissed with disrespect after just three weeks, when he blew up the mess room ("it turned out they were just thinking building a new one").
The heavy use of Edgar's explosives over the years has caused him to lose most of his hearing, which often causes unreasonable responses to questions and comments. (For example, Red will ask him, "What have you brought for us today, Edgar?" And Edgar will reply, "Oh, all right, Red." He also lost a finger in his left hand, despite his story how he lost it changed every time he told it. He claims to have few friends, and according to his DVD biography, he "has never met a woman who likes to spend Saturday night watching [he] blowing a Douglas Fir tree that grows perfectly above the lake."
The middle initial Edgar, K.B., is rumored to be standing for "Ka Boom!", Her favorite Phrase-catch. Her favorite movie is The Bridge on the River Kwai , saying, "Did you see the baby go up at the end?" After watching the movie Dances With Wolves , Edgar thought that "Native Men" should have received an Oscar for his role. (Greene has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Kicking Bird in the movie, but lost to Joe Pesci.)
Hap Shaughnessy
Hap Shaughnessy (Gordon Pinsent) is the water taxi captain of Possum Lake, but he is much better known at Possum Lodge because of his high story. In almost every appearance he does on the show, he makes silly claims as being important in history, or has achieved remarkable achievements. No one else on the show believes him, but he will try hard to tell his story. For example, he claims that he has a coat belonging to Santa Claus himself, that he once filled in for Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, that he once kept a tiger in Kenya, had a magnetic metal plate on his head, prompting Aston Martin to be featured on Goldfinger which he used as an eye -right eyes, and that he even died and came to life again at the 1988 Summer Olympics. In one episode, he hinted that he lied about his past because he had a bad self-image.
Hap was always seen wearing a Royal Canadian Regiment baseball cap, which was a sign of his own Pinsent military service as a soldier in the Regiment during the early 1950s.
Ed Fride
Ed Frid (Jerry Schaefer) is the second animal controller of Possum Lake (the first being Garth Harble). He was very scared of almost any animal, and was sure they were out to catch him. She is featured on The Red Green Show in the "Talking Animals" segment, where Red tries to make it show to a small animal audience, like a weasel or a leech. Always, something is wrong and causes Ed to panic, usually bringing abrupt ending and comedy to the segment.
Buzz Sherwood
Buzz Sherwood (Peter Wildman) is a local bush pilot known around Possum Lake for his eccentric anonymity on his small Cessna airplane, which he met at the Possum Lodge boat jetty. She has a very boisterous personality, often acting very hyperactive and happy-going-lucky. Despite being in her 40s, she still considers herself as a child, and is known for her wild laughter and the habit of punching people's hands to greet.
Bob Stuyvestant
Bob Stuyvestant (Bruce Hunter) works for the Ministry of Natural Resources, and is almost always seen playing golf, even though he always plays bad. Bob knows everything there is to know about golf but does not seem to work on his own game. Same with women - Bob is married 5 times. When out playing golf, Bob confessed to "doing secret research" for the Ministry, claiming that he took land and air samples (He once claimed that his golf ball was a "dimpled ergonometer", and that his putter was the "wind speed" calibration wrench ").
Glen Brackston
Glen Brackston (Mark Wilson) is the operator and sole employee of Marina Brackston. Glen is a big man and very lazy, often seen sitting in a chair or nap. He has suffered several heart attacks, and has seven daughters. In the early seasons, laziness was caused by the focus of his obsession on his RV. Then, he will appear with Red in the "Boating Tips" segment, where he will provide advice or guidance on how to take care and take care of the ship. However, he often keeps Red doing these tasks for him, for reasons of poor health cause he can not do it himself.
Dwight Cardiff
Dwight Cardiff (George Buza) is the only character ever shown to be more lazy than Glen Brackston. Dwight is the operator at Port Asbestos Marina, although he occasionally travels to the Lodge to perform on the show. Dwight does not want to do anything that requires him to move, like going inside when it's raining (what he calls "passive environmental interaction"). He also claims to have had a pet slug as a child, but it "flees to him".
Dougie Franklin
Dougie Franklin (Ian Thomas) is an American immigrant driving large monster trucks and self-proclaimed experts in two areas of life: cars and women, although never had a successful date, and some automotive fights, partly because of their inability to understand the laws. Canada traffic law, and reckless driving. His brother, Ben, is seen in several episodes, played by his brother, Thomas Thomas of SCTV.
Arnie Dogan
Arnie Dogan (Albert Schultz) is an accident-prone roofer with aspirations of being a country music singer. Often wearing orthopedic appliances from his last accident, he insists that the roof is "... in his blood" and that he is continuing his work despite his seemingly dangerous nature. Arnie is famous for having written over 17,000 songs (most of which are horrific) and he likes to play it for lodging members at every opportunity, much to the chagrin and the last irritation.
Kevin Black
Kevin Black (Paul Gross) is a yuppie developer from a big city that is usually favored by Possum Lake landowners. Kevin Black appeared in the sixth and seventh seasons. He is often surprised by the rural aspects of Lake Possum, like the idea of ​​digging a well to get water.
Minor characters
During the fifteen seasons, The Red Green Show features over forty secondary and minor characters, ranging from fellow Possum Lodge members to single guests, and even spectators appear on site.. During the second season, the regular players expanded to include many different lodging members, none of which remained featured after the second season. The main cast is male, including occasional female characters, including network executive Kelly Cook (Sugar Lyn Beard) and Anne-Marie Humphrey (Jennifer Irwin), Dalton's wife.
Invisible characters
In addition to the long list of characters, there are some characters that are often called, but never seen. The most frequently mentioned are Red Junior Singleton's friends, Buster Hadfield, Moose Thompson, Stinky Peterson, and Old Man Sedgwick. Deep descriptions of these characters are often contrived and bizarre, as are their original names:
- Bernice Green: Red Wife, whom she married without waiting for the results of a pregnancy test. Red claims they have tried to have children but after Harold was born they took that as a warning. He is often annoyed with Red's elegance and other cottage members, and often tries to encourage Red to take part in activities like art and eat in good restaurants, usually for disaster effects. In one episode, she faked a love letter from one of Red's old boyfriends (who turns out to be a loving letter from Red's mother) and Red decides to invite Bernice to dinner every night the episode airs, to prevent her from seeing her and becomes jealous. Apart from this he and Red seem to be close, and Red often implies they have an active sex life. Bernice has a nephew named Alicia whose mouth condition has given him the nickname "Horse". At one point, out of desperation, Harold considered marrying her.
- Old Sedgwick: Orville Lloyd Dutton Manly Alvin Norbert "Old Man" Sedgewick. Old Man Sedgwick's age was never officially disclosed, although he was reported to have known John A. Macdonald when he was only a child, and in one episode he was said to have been born "sometime in the Mesozoic era". He has a 97-year-old son, and his parents are still alive (his father carrying the name "Dead Man Walking Sedgewick"). Sedgewick is often described as a person who is easily offended and suffering from dementia, where he takes medicine.
- Junior Singleton: Strange Member of Possum Lodge. Married to his wife Noreen shortly after meeting in a medium of exchange, with an entire episode dedicated to preparing his bachelor party. Junior is often the first to question Red's decision or authority and at one point trying to find a failed rival's hut. It implies that Junior and Noreen are obese.
- Moose Thompson: Mooseworth Hugo Largess "Moose" Thompson is a member of a very overweight cottage. He's implied to be a bit stupid, saying that he thinks his nickname makes him sound stupid, so he's considering turning it into "Moose Johnson".
- Stinky Peterson: Stephen Riechen Puanteur "Stinky" Peterson has a striking smell and terrible personal habits. At one point Harold wondered if the scent was dangerous or poisonous, which Red assured him was not the problem because the innkeepers kept the Canaries at his doorstep. In one episode Stinky burned her mattress, releasing a cloud of toxic gas surrounding the Lodge.
- Flinty McClintock: The owner of a scrap metal yard and "African Lion Safari" mostly consisting of a snow fence and a lazy lion that is so shaped that it might be a disabled pig.
- Buster Hadfield: A very lazy widow who has spent more time at the Lodge than at home, speeds up his divorce. Her daughter, Susie, had stolen money from Harold's meal, but lately she discovered that she might have feelings for Harold, which is certainly not everywhere.
- Wally Kibler: Mayor of Lake Possom.
- Fuzzy Norton: Characters are rarely mentioned and poorly defined.
