C'est moi le chef !

Big gaffe! Recasting Mandy. I know that Molly had taken another project when LMS was picked up by Fox, but someone should have written her into an opportunity to work in fashion in Europe and then gave her an offer she couldn't refuse to come back next season. I don't think you realize the comedic talent and timing she brought to the table. Now, no one was more surprised than I was that Mandy was responsible for the larger percentage of my laughs out loud. Her presence was delightful and cohesive. This show is the only one that I know I can sit down and laugh and be moved and not have to watch out for inappropriate content. Do you have any idea how relaxing and enjoyable that is for a conservative? There are very few programs that can do that. I have to tell you that this new Mandy is disruptive rather than cohesive. Get Molly back. Thanks, Patti

I loved this show before it was foolishly cancelled. Now with the show back on, the casting director must have lost their mind. 1. New Mandy is horrible and more so doesn't fit the show at all. Old Mandy (Molly) is a fantastic actress and they should try to get her back. 2. The Asian girl...WHY? She is a terrible actress, adds nothing to the show, and just doesn't fit the continuity of the program. 3. Ok I understand the boy had to grow up a little but couldn't they have replaced him with someone that appears to be the same kid, only older? It's sad that when a show hits that sweet spot of perfection they have this need to try to push it past that point instead of just enjoying and honing it as it is. Continually bringing in useless actresses and actors just send down cancelled road.

I'm sorry we had to lose the former Mandy. I'm sure the new actress will find her niche but I wish they could bring back the former.

I dont agree with alot of Tim Allen has to say but he does it in away that is just so funny.

I didn't expect much from this, although I did enjoy "Home Improvement" when I was younger. This isn't a great leap forward from that, but works pretty well as a comedy that doesn't require too much thought and provides plenty of giggles.

Tim is a "Man's man" who decides to take more of a hand in the raising of his 3 daughters (and 1 small grandson). Needless to say, his world view is at odds with theirs and hilarity ensues.

Allen does play pretty much the same character as in "Home Improvement", but the family dynamics are well handled, with the daughters each getting their own personalities out of the handbook of family comedy clichés and running with them.

Cookie cutter comedy, sure, but sometimes that's all you need for twenty or so minutes of smiles. I'll be tuning in regularly.
