I didn't get to watch much of this show back in its heyday but now they're showing reruns on one of my local channels and I make time to watch it whenever I can. The main couple has chemistry, the three sons are very amusing, the neighbor is full of wisdom and advice, the cohost on the show's show is very practical, and some of the episodes have good morals. Tool Time is the sitcom answer to This Old House but with more hijinks and accidents. Plus the guest stars are numerous. This was probably the first time I had heard of Tim Allen, before he was Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story and Mike Baxter in Last Man Standing. Still, I don't think the latter was as good as this. It's more wholesome with Tim Allen as Tim Taylor. And more memorable. I don't know if this was an Emmy contender but it's still good.

maybe, this is the detail who impose it as different by many others series. the status of family series proposing suggestions about parenthood, relations with neighbors, link between father and sons and its management, passion and humor as veil for ordinaries small every day mistakes. and this is its key of success. to give a realistic portrait of a simple ordinary American family. each of viewers recognize him in this domestic battles, good intentions without reasonable results, the deep conscience to be yourself and to use it for each challenge. a film who has not the desire to demonstrate something. pure entertainment but preserving the force of life lesson. and this is, maybe, the detail who transforms it in a series who can be defined as more than a show.

This show is amazing. I remember seeing it for the first time in 2007. I watched one episode and I was hooked. I was shocked at how funny it was.

As a person who is easily amused and entertained but does not laugh at TV, this show made an impression I don't think I've seen a single episode that didn't make me laugh at one point or another. That is a record to which no other show has come close.

While there are a few moments when the humor is forced, they are far between.

The cast is amazing as well as the lines.

Also, adding Wilson was a stroke of genius for whoever created his character.

Even as a newcomer to the show (with only reruns), I am a full fledged fan.

I highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone!

Home Improvement offers something for everyone in the family. It has these parents Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) and Jill Taylor (Patricia Richardson) and they have these teen boys Brad (Zachery Ty Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and Mark (Taran Noah Smith).Tim has this show on TV called Tool Time with his Tool Time buddy Al (Richard Karn).On Tool Time Tim usually hurts himself and it's always a big disaster.And there is the tool girl Heidi (Debbe Dunning).The Taylor's have this neighbour Wilson (Earl Hindman) that the Taylor's can ask the advice for the problems.Wilson's face is always covered with something.So on Home Improvement you can watch an ordinary family with ordinary problems.And laugh at the same time.Too bad that the show ended this year.They did have great eight years.

I grew up with "Home Improvement". I followed "HI" from its very first episode (I had just started 6th grade) to its last (I had finished my first year of college). This was a fun show because you could relate to the Taylor family. I always laughed at Al's flannel wardrobe, his mom (!), and his relationship with Ilene. I loved the episode of Tool Time with the car alarm ("Back away, Flannel Man!")

It was a great eight seasons. I miss "Home Improvement" and the people on it. But we'll always have our memories. (and reruns!)
