Grunt Work: THE Podcast about the TV Show Home Improvement Grunt Work Podcasts

I thought I had rated and reviewed this podcast years ago, but it seems I didn’t, and I’m ashamed. I’ve been a terrible fan, I’m sorry guys.

Anyways, I just wrapped up listening to the FINAL episode of Grunt Work, and I’m actually a little misty eyed. I discovered this podcast on a long drive across the US in late 2017/early 2018 (I think), and I’ve been tuning in ever since. Despite its considerable flaws, I’m a huge fan of Home Improvement—it takes me back to the 90s, and I loved it then and continue to though now I look at it through a different point of view. Truman and Landon are fair in their criticisms as well as praise; they are neither super-fans nor hate-watching the show, so we get a pretty balanced perspective on this show in the 2020s. Also, they are huge fans of the great Richard Karn, by far the best thing about this show, which I love because I am too.

Most importantly, they are skilled show hosts and funny guys with a fantastic range. They are thoughtful and sometimes provide some genuine insights on things you may not expect from a podcast about the show Home Improvement. Landon is skilled at keeping the pace of the show entertaining and listenable and Truman’s humor is lightning-fast and sharp. They are a great duo—they’re both smart and funny, and they have genuinely excellent chemistry together. While I’m sad that Grunt Work is coming to an end, I am thrilled to hear that they are working on a new show and I will check that out for sure.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading my novella-length review. There is not a better podcast out there about Home Improvement, so if you’re just discovering this I have no doubt you will enjoy the sizable back catalog, from show episodes to fun (and maybe not-so-fun) show related movies and other things. FIVE STARS!

These guys are not fans of Tim Allen or much of the show. Be prepared to listen to a rewatch that does A LOT of complaining with pretentious banter. I’ll give them credit for not giving up when they should have years ago, but I guess if you’ve got nothing better to do….

This is the second “Home Improvement” podcast I’ve listened to. I LOVE the way y’all both talk about this beloved show!! I QUIT listening to the previous podcast I found on Home Improvement because they seemed to belittle the show nearly every episode I listened to them. They didn’t see it as a “90’s show”. They spoke negatively about so many amazing Home Improvement episodes. The two of y’all undoubtedly do this show and podcast justice! Thank you for this podcast! I am a HUGE fan of y’all and of Home Improvement; as I’ve watched it since it came out and now currently own the entire season and watch it regularly (side note: I’m 38!). Edit: I have now been listening to this podcast; let’s be real, I binge listen, for awhile. I absolutely adore both of y’all’s adoration of Home Improvement. Excellent commentary and banter! Appropriately, inappropriate discussion even when detouring into other categories of entertainment. 4+++ stars!

BONUS::: y’all are FRAISER fans as well!!! 😍😍😍😍

Waiting for that podcast to come
from y’all. 👀
