I'm a big fan of the TV series, Justified, and there's a character on there called Rodney "Hot Rod" Dunham, played by Mickey Jones. I'd seen him before somewhere, but I couldn't recollect where. So I thunk and I thunk, and it finally came to me: he was one of the K&B Construction guys who appeared from time to time on the Home Improvement comedy series, most notably as the drummer in the jam session spots, in which the folks from K&B used tools and equipment to create some very exciting music (ably assisted by a fellow playing one hell of a mean harmonica).
Here's the K&B band in its first appearance on the show:
Bonus video clip! The K&B band in its final appearance on the show, with a performance of Burning Down the House:

Yes I rarely am glued to the TV set these days but Justified got me from the first minutes - great writing, casting and acting. And reminds me of people I've known too.
ReplyDeleteSometime I sets and thunks, and sometimes I jest sets.
I agree on all counts.
ReplyDeleteSo, you guys are saying I should watch this show, huh?
ReplyDeleteWell, I just added the first season to my watchlist on Amazon Prime, so I'll give it a look. I just finished season four of Warehouse 13, so I need something else to watch for awhile.
This streaming video thingy just might catch on.
I've been a dedicated Justified fan from the first. Incidentally, Nick Searcy is that rare bird, a Hollywood conservative (he also has an adopted black child, imagine that).
ReplyDeleteI never watched Home Improvement, so was unaware of the K&B Band, but it's amazing the music they made.
I just watched the pilot.
ReplyDeleteYou guys may be right. Worth another look.
Careful, R-man; this stuff is highly addictive. Watch a couple of episodes and pretty soon you'll be buyin' the dvds on the street.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see the 4th season of the Sopranos.
ReplyDeleteHe said proudly, like the dick that he is.
ReplyDelete...and pretty soon you'll be buyin' the dvds on the street.
ReplyDeleteNo need to buy the DVDs. As I said, I can stream them on Amazon Prime. No need to venture out into that cold, cruel world for a video fix anymore.
