When Mr Binford Gave us Life Lessons by Dying in Home Improvement

So I used to love Home Improvement back in the day as it was very Al Murray type comedy - it deliberately looked superficial but then would try and tackle real issues in parenting and the like. But I've sort of ignored it especially as Tim the Toolman in real life went full MAGA. (Although I note two of my favourite actors are massively rabidly right wing, and yet it's never stopped me watching Sleuth or Rear Window!)

Top 40 Chart Singles (2001)

 

Ah, 2001. Not exactly a legendary year of music. The albums of the years were anthologies by older bands like The Monkees, or new albums by bands yet to have their day in the sun (Snow Patrol), or by new hit sensations like American Hi-Fi. You don’t remember American Hi-Fi? They had a song called Flavour of the Weak, which, ignoring the pun, is about how long they lasted as the biggest band ever.
