I'm only 5-6 episodes into the series, but I can't help but notice all the broken clocks hanging on the wall. None of them seem to work (always the same time) and the biggest one has no "hands". I realize that they tried to make the character of Emmett rather eccentric, but the running gag of the Mr. Fix-it shop unable to repair anything is rather dumb. A person whose trade is to repair appliances like new should have stuff that works on display.
