The Red Green Show is a Canadian television series that aired from 1991 to 2006. The show is a comedy series that follows the life of Red Green, a handyman who runs a lodge in Possum Lake along with his group of friends who are also handymen. Together, they come up with various schemes and inventions in their efforts to save money and make their lives a little easier.
In season 1 episode 6 of The Red Green Show, titled "Big Guy, Little Guy," the focus is on two particular characters from the show. The "big guy" is Red Green, weighing in at 215 pounds, and the "little guy" is Harold Green, who is Red's nephew and is considerably lighter than Red. The episode begins with Red and Harold discussing how dangerous it is to try to move heavy objects by yourself, and how important it is to have someone to help you out. They then proceed to demonstrate various lifting techniques, including the "two-man lift," the "three-man seat," and the "four-man slingshot."
After the demonstration, Red and Harold receive a call from a local company that is looking for someone to help move a large piece of equipment. Red volunteers himself and Harold for the job, and the two arrive at the company's warehouse the next day. The equipment turns out to be a massive, 2000-pound sheet metal press. The pair quickly realize that they are in over their heads and are going to need more help if they're going to move the press.
Red and Harold then enlist the help of their good friend Bill Smith, who is known for his strength and willingness to help out in a pinch. Bill arrives, and the three of them spend the next few hours trying to lift the press onto a cart. After several failed attempts, they decide to try a new approach: using a lever to lift the press onto the cart. The plan works, and they successfully move the press to its new location.
The rest of the episode features various skits and segments, including a segment on how to make your own sausage, a comedic look at the different types of drivers on the road, and a bit where Red and Harold try to figure out where to store their new 2000-pound sheet metal press. The episode concludes with Red and Harold realizing that sometimes, you just need to ask for help when you're trying to move something heavy.
Overall, season 1 episode 6 of The Red Green Show is a lighthearted and humorous look at the challenges of moving heavy objects. With its lovable cast of characters and offbeat sense of humor, the show remains a beloved classic among fans of Canadian television.
