* ChannelHop: The show began on CHCH-TV in Hamilton, who cancelled it two seasons in, though the show was quickly picked up by CFPL-TV in London and Creator/{{YTV}} (for national distribution) for a third season. The show then moved to Creator/{{Global}} in the fourth season and was finally moved to Creator/{{CBC}} in the seventh season, and would stay there until the end of the show's run.

* DoingItForTheArt: The 4th season. As Steve Smith mentioned on the DVD sets, the company had to buy time slots in order for the show to air (this is also why the show was titled "The New Red Green Show" during this time, to differentiate it from seasons 1-3 that were still airing in reruns). Creator/{{Global}} was so impressed with the show's growing American popularity and Smith & Smith Productions' own efforts to find money for the show, they agreed to finance the show for its fifth and sixth seasons. It was no longer a problem by season seven when Steve Smith secured a deal with Creator/{{CBC}} and got a guaranteed budget.

** In season four, Smith made a deal with Creator/{{Global}} for them to air the show, but they wouldn't finance it. Smith & Smith Productions had to buy its own time slots and pay Global to air the show. It had to scramble to find additional funding to meet the show's budget, and even then Steve Smith had to take a second mortgage on his house to cover it.

* ''Adventures With Bill'': Black-and-white segment featuring tons of slapstick as Bill tries to do something for fun but fails spectacularly. Red narrates the proceedings. Eventually, other characters joined the fun. During seasons 9-12, Bill was replaced by Walter, a younger guy (played by Joel Harris, the stunt coordinator for the series). Walter would stick around when Bill returned to the show, however.

* ''Handyman Corner'': Red uses various scraps to create inventions, (almost) always ending each segment with a CatchPhrase: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." While this segment used to be limited to OnceAnEpisode, around the 9th season there were ''multiple'' Handyman Corners throughout an episode: A short one featured as a ColdOpen, then the main one during the first segment, and another short one during the third segment.

* ''Ranger Gord's Educational Films'': Debuted during season 9. A series of animated cartoons done by Ranger Gord (in real life, animated by Bryce Hallett, with Peter Keleghan [who also played Gord] [[TalkingToHimself doing all the voices]]). Gord was portrayed as a handsome, buff stud, while Red and Harold were portrayed as a possum and beaver respectively (one episode also had Dalton and Mike as a bear and raccoon). Ironically, it was Red and Harold who gave the correct advice, while Gord was always wrong.
