Summary: Not Red's Best Work
Comment: As the #1 fan of The Red Green show, having watched since the first season, recorded every episode, watched each at least 200 times, own all the DVD's and VHS tape specials, etc... it's hard to say this is not a good book, but it's just not. The humor here is not 'Red Green' it's Steve Smith... it's not geared toward the average middle-aged man, it's geared toward yuppies who would call this 'levity'... So, do yourself a favor, read the sample pages available on this page before you buy the book... it doesn't get any better. I think part of the charm of Steve Smith is his facial expressions... so, written word is out of his element. But maybe I'm just making excuses for him... the fact remains, this book is not in the least bit funny or insiteful. Red Green is funny, Steve Smith is 'witty', but just barely, at that. Steve, stick to what made you famous instead of selling out to the yuppy, office, New York Times crowd.

Summary: Fun read, explains the middle ager
Comment: There are people like me out there, people who are not old. We get a bad rap, which is fine, but then again, we're not old, so we don't really care. However, in this book everyone can get and enjoy a dose of worldly wisdom from Steve Smith, the head honcho from the Public Television show "The Red Green Show."
I admit, I almost didn't give this book five stars. At times the jokes are stale, and the various essays can sometimes be short. However, the total entertainment value is maintained. And really, aren't old people supposed to have stale jokes? ;-)
Sarcasm aside, Steve Smith has a sharp mind and makes great points about getting older. And in a way it helps show us young people that getting old is not something we can dodge, but that it can be done with optimism. Get it, read it, share it.

Summary: Canadian Sense Of Humor, Eh?
Comment: READING IT I found myself laughing aloud in the public space. I know that some liberal, artsy-fartsy Canuck snobs roll their eyes if Red Green's cult TV show is mentioned, but the man has a marvellously wry sense of humor that keeps hitting the mark without ever being offensive. Yet the ugly utilitarian snout of Political Correctness gets smashed to bits too. It's amazing how just the plain old common sense arrived at from the real life observations could make you roar with laughter.
This is the populist humor at its democratic best.
Well, yes. The answer is yes. The Canadians have it. The sense of humor that is. Eh? Eh!
