Synopsis

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