Description
The Red House is for those who yearn to relive the old days and for those who wished they had.

A family comedy that's a cross between Little House on the Prairie and The Cosby Show with a whole lot of Hee Haw trucking mud right down the middle!
Flying chickens, resilient roaches, humiliating hooptys, crazy relatives and runaway mules are just some of the hilarious hi-jinks the Douglas family get up to in a bid to get back to the land and “escape” modern life in the 1980s.

The country...

Country housing: “The Red House had roaches. Long, flat brown ones -- with wings. We didn't know they could fly until we were having supper one day.”

Country fashion: "If I stepped wide enough maybe the panty hose would stay up until I could get to the bathroom."

Country entertainment: “Grab that skinny one in the corner. He oughta fly real good.”

Country relatives: “Watch yourself, boy! We still payin off your rabies shot.”

Country vacations: “You brought your own housing...and food and shampoo and towels and sheets.”

Country revivals: “We gonna start promptly at seven o'clock, so be sure to take care of all your bodily needs and functions beforehand.”

Country shopping: “Don't steal nothin' and don't sit on the toilet.”

Country dining at its best: “The day he mentioned stewed possum, Mama told him, “Don't even think about puttin somethin that nasty in my pot. We may be country but we ain't that country.”
