Network: WTN (Canada) & PBS |
| Year: 2000 |
Host: Mag Ruffman |
| Summary: "Anything I Can Do" is
hosted by Mag Ruffman, a former licensed contractor turned Canadian home
improvement show host. Her philosophy is "it's perfectly natural to make
mistakes", "A woman can do anything with the right tools", "You can't
change a man, but you can always freshen up a furnace filter" and "You can
pay big money for a self-esteem seminar, or you can buy yourself a cordless
drill. I recommend the drill."
Each show (52 episodes) contains witty titles like "Shelf Improvement"
(building a pine book shelf), "A Friend in Feed' (Bird feeders) and "All's
Weld That End's Weld" (Welding tips). The fun thing about this
Gemini-nominated workshop series is that all of Mag's mistakes are left in
the show.

Hard Can It Be?" See also "A
Repair to Remember"" |
