Quell'uragano di papà

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!)

This is one of the best series to ever air on tv. Tim Allen plays the accident prone and host of Tool Time, Tim Taylor. Every episode has Tim getting hit in the head, lighting himself on fire, gluing himself to something and on and on. The rest of the cast was equally funny, in this tv gem. Now it is over and it is greatly missed.

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.

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.

I just want to say that "Home Improvement" is one of my favorite shows ever! Why? Because it's fun and funny! From the very first episode where Tim modifies the dishwasher using an air compressor which then causes the dishwasher to blow up!, all the way to Tim dreaming how he can move the Taylor's house all the way to Indiana, "Home Improvement" was one of the greatest, most imaginative shows ever made. Of course, this show "was the 90s." Much like Thursday nights at 8 in that decade meant "Seinfeld" was on, Tuesday nights at 8 in the 90s meant that it was time for "Home Improvement." My favorite episode ever is "The Man's Kitchen," which is from the 3rd season, due to come to DVD soon. Everything about that episode is so awesome! In fact, ever since I was a little boy watching this show, I always wanted a kitchen like that! Many other memorable moments have happened on this show that stays completely in our minds: for example, there's an episode where Tim drops an I-beam on Jill's Chevy Nomad! Of course, all throughout the series after that episode, we "HI" fans would always remember back on that funny part! If no one has ever seen "Home Improvement" yet, then I highly suggest you watch it. You, too, will be amazed!
