The Red Green Show
Smith originally created the character of Red Green for his 1979–1985 sketch comedy series "Smith & Smith". The sketch was a parody of the long-running Canadian outdoors show "The Red Fisher Show" (1968–1989), starring BH "Red" Fisher, in which Red and his friends would show silent films of their fishing trips with commentary at "Scuttlebutt Lodge". The character also appeared in "Me & Max" and "The Comedy Mill" before becoming the focus of his own series.
