http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_time

Tool Time was the fictitious handyman show-within-a-show in the television situation comedy, Home Improvement. It was hosted by Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor (played by Tim Allen) and Al Borland (played by Richard Karn). The sponsor of Tool Time was Binford Tools, a fictitious tool manufacturing company. The show was said to be played on channel 112.

During Tool Time, the hosts would teach audiences about home repair and renovations. However, Tim was more inclined to joke around, especially about Al's overweight mother and his affinity for wearing flannel shirts. Al would attempt to continue the show in a proper manner. Invariably, whenever Al was about to demonstrate the use of a particular machine, Tim would bring out his own version of the same machine that had been rewired for more power. The new machine would then backfire and cause the accidents for which Tim became famous. Sometimes, the accidents were not caused by overpowered machines but by Tim's negligence for safety precautions, though occasionally, the producers would surprise the viewers by Tim's overpowered machine actually working or Al being the one who makes the mistake. Often Tim would unveil a project that had somehow been set-up to make Al look stupid, and Al would either fall victim to Tim (in the case of a "soundproof" booth), or discover the prank and turn it back on Tim himself (in the situation of Tim electrifying Al's toolbelt, and Al switching belts with Tim before the show).
