The show never gets old to me! I always loved it since the 1st episode I had seen on my local PBS channel!

[@arthas640]

I think I first saw an episode in the mid 90s and I've been hooked ever since. I've had insomnia since i was a little kid and when I couldnt seep I'd wait until everyone else had gone to bed so I could watch late night TV. Sometimes when i was staying with my grandparents I'd get up and sneak into the living room to find my grandpa watching this and since we both loved it we'd watch it together with the volume down low so my grandma wouldnt hear us. 20+ years later and i still love this show!

20:55 -ish. When i was in Job Corps, we actually *had* belt sander races!! Here's how we did it: 1) Make sure th' boss is busy. If he's not, Make him busy! _("Mr. Adler, Tommy put his face into the sander again!")_ 2) Line them up at one end of an 8' piece of plywood (do Not put them on the painted concrete floor. We learned this at the first event..). 3) Plug all "contestants" into a power strip (with power switch in "off" position. ...we learned _that_ at the first event, too!!). Make _sure_ all "spectators" stay far to the sides, and Not in front (THIS we learned at the _second_ event!). 4) Place bets. ....or not. 5) Turn on power strip! 6) Blame all of the noise, yelling and damages on the guy who _just_ joined the carpentry hall.

I love the giant speaker bit! I thought it was going to be like that scene in _Back To The Future._ But the way it went on here was good too... and funny! You know... I should do that to my sister. She got this ridiculous base speaker in here car and her basement apartment and I hate it! It's too much. Doesn't even sound like music at all. Just really loud rattling and base noise.

[@frowlinian8175]

@@mesientogut6701 you may be right, all I'm saying is that media follows culture and it's not exactly unthinkable that two shows or movies would have similar plots even if they had nothing to do with each other and neither knew of the other's existence, especially since they all pretty much follow a pattern. Look at something like Star Wars, was that just a copy of Star Trek? Yes and no, yes in that Star Trek spawned a fandom in science fiction which dictated what would be popular but no in the sense that it was a cash-in copy, but it allowed for the creation of things like Stargate and Battlestar Galactica, Quantum Leap, Bill &Ted, Back to the Future, a Star Trek reboot, comics like Iron Man and Spiderman picked up steam etc etc... in the 90's and early 2000's TV was all about idiotic men (for lack of a better term) doing stupid but funny things with shows like this, Home Improvement, King of Queens, The Office, Peep Show, Malcolm in the Middle, Family Guy, Friends, Fresh Prince, Boy Meets World, Seinfeld, etc. The difference between Red Green and Home Improvement were they both did stuff with tools I guess?
