This Week on Home Improvement…

Tim and Jill are so happy that Mark has finally found a hobby in making model airplanes, but when Tim takes him to an aeronautic museum, Mark gets the need, the need for speed… and wants to take flying lessons. Jill is adamantly against this because she believes small planes are death traps – a fear she inherited from her mother while her father was out flying for the military. However, when Wilson agrees to take Mark, Tim and Jill flying to show her just how safe it is, she begins to acquiesce.

Meanwhile, Jill attempt a hobby of her own: learning the piano. 

This week on Grunt Work: Nights…

David Letterman had Stupid Human Tricks. James Cordon has Bar Tricks. We have no tricks, only these silly, useless hidden talents. Truman reveals some unexpected noises. Landen belongs in a circus. Can you guess their hidden talents ?

About Grunt Work
Grunt Work is a comedy podcast where each week we cover an episode of the TV show ‘Home Improvement’.

But it’s so much more than that; it’s an examination of masculinity, a time capsule, and “metaphor for how we live[d] in the 90s”. Often, it’s a descent into madness.

Is Grunt Work for You?
We recommend our show for listeners who enjoy comedic takes on pop culture, often veering into the obscure and highfalutin; the perfect blend of stupidity and wit.

You may enjoy Grunt Work if you enjoy:

  • Mystery Science Theater 3000
  • The Flop House
  • Judge John Hodgeman
  • The Golden Guys
  • The Greatest Generation
  • Frasier and/or Cheers
