Fannish 50 Challenge 2025: Post # 37: Red Green Fandom; C6D Fandom

[ride_4ever]

I've got a "milestone" birthday coming up and I bought myself a birthday gift of something I've wanted for a long time: the complete Red Green DVD collection -- yep, all 300 episodes! And amedia made a whole bunch of Red Green icons for me (one of which you see here).

A big TYK to amedia for the timely icons!

Happy Early Birthday!! I used to watch Red Green all the time when it was on PBS here. "Any tool can be the right tool" and (the much more obscure) "The first thing you gotta do is great rid of your stove" are quoted often in my house.

Thank you kindly for the "happy early birthday" wishes.

LOL that Edgar K.B. Montrose thing about getting rid of the stove: "Blow up the stove. Otherwise you'll start cooking for yourself and that's dangerous." Kaboom!

[donutsweeper]

You knew it! Yes, KABOOOM! "And down that road lies madness. I should know."

[ride_4ever]

"That's right, sir. And down that road madness lies. It's a very short road."

Excellent, and happy birthday when it comes!

happy early birthday!

oh man, I've not thought of Red Green in ages - I remember really enjoying it (way) back in the day, but hadn't thought of looking for it to rewatch. though I never saw the whole run

[ride_4ever]

Thank you kindly for the "happy early birthday" wishes.

I never saw Red Green in its entirety either -- saw lots of episodes, but not all of them -- and now I'm going to be watching all of them and in order.

Also, I appreciate your choice of icon: the "cake for you" for ME. Nom nom nom.

Always treat yourself for the big stuff!

Thank you kindly for speaking in favor of my birthday purchase decision.

That's awesome! I need to watch more RG. I saw some eps on PBS before dS' first run, then I saw more during and after seeing dS' run (esp the PG eps), and I've watched several more, since - but never all of them, all in a row, in the right order. I didn't even know there were over 300 episodes. You'd think it would be much more frequently shown on streaming and OTA TV channels, since that amount of episodes is a syndication station dream, I would think. I bet it's available streaming somewhere... *goes off to hunt for it*

[ride_4ever]

I think all the episodes might be on YouTube.

[verushka70]

Oh, cool. Did not know that. Currently watching Republic of Doyle all the way through for the first time. PG has oinly been in a couple of eps so far and I'm in the beginning of S5. When I'm not working on my dSBB complementary, of course.

[ride_4ever]

I only watched a very little bit of Republic of Doyle. Maybe will eventually watch more, but there's other C6D higher on my list.

*continues to cheer you on for your dSC6DBB complementary*
