The Red Green Show

"Red Green: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

The Red Green Show is a Canadian television comedy that aired on various channels in Canada, with its ultimate home at CBC Television, and on Public Broadcasting Service stations in the United States, from 1991 until the series finale April 7, 2006, on CBC. 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 outdoors shows.

17. Damn You Emu

Red Green opens by stating that there's a "great big chicken on the loose. Four feet tall and very, very vicious." Actually, it's not a chicken. It's an emu, which appears to be generated by computer graphics. In a typically harebrained scheme to make money, Dalton's getting into the emu business. He lassos in Red Green too, telling him that they'd be "making money in three months." However, the emus aren't exactly the friendliest of creatures. Later, when Dalton recommends getting more emus, Red gripes, "More emus! You know, only a married person would have an appetite for that kind of abuse, Dalton." Dalton counters, "You won't regret it. It's a great opportunity." As one of the emus starts pecking at the window, Red quips, "I think I hear opportunity knocking at the window there Dalton." Eventually they decide to dump the emus. But how? Red has the perfect idea--- they'll give them to the eccentric Ranger Gord!
