Assembly Required

What happened to Tim Allen? I'm a big fan, and only on episode 1, but Tim seems drunk or sedated on pain meds. He's slow, his eyes are bloodshot, and his eyes are glassed over and don't blink in sync. I had to check IMDB to see if he's had any recent medical issues such as a stroke.

The content of the show just seems to drag on, and the banter between Tim and Karn is painful to watch. I'm not sure of their purpose, other than to just give a play-by-play analysis. Also don't like the format, as mentioned, the play-by-play and the remote aspect of the show. Maybe if Tim and Karn had more interaction and hands-on.

Was ok. Richard was way more friendly and enjoyable to watch. Tim Allen seemed to have a attitude during last nights episode. The show itself was a good concept. Was fun to see them build their stuff & show off their talents. Would watch it again.

Like the builds featured on the show, some extra polish and finishing touches are needed. The premise is solid and the best part is watching what the contestants can take from their mind's eye and put into action. I think one of the difficulties for the show is that it is done remotely. That can't be easy for social interaction between the contestants the hosts, which, if improved, would be beneficial for the show. The banter with Tim, Richard and April is good. More April would be nice. She has talent and I'm sure has more than her simple hacks they show. Maybe show how she would fix the purposely sent problem to the builders in the second round? Seeing her fix would be cool. One annoyance I have is the obvious product placement with Google and iFixIt. Google has been used for verbal internet searches, setting a timer, and simple math. Wow, so amazing... not. I'm sure the small tools/bits from the iFixIt kits are useful but viewers don't see that shown explicitly.

I have been a huge fan of Tim Allen ever since "Home Improvement". Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was very disappointed with this new show. It sounded like a very interesting concept, and I still believe it could work. But the banter between Tim and Richard was horrible. It sound forced, the jokes were lame, and the timing seemed off. And product placement is one thing, but a whole scene about the sponsor's pickup was just excessive.

Tim, Rich, especially Tim - they add *nothing* to the creations being made, other than not-funny and sometimes rude comments to the guest creators and each other. To make it even worse, the cameras are on Tim and Rich more than 75% of each episode, not the work being done.

The focus should be on the "tinkerers" and their builds. Tim and Rich should be minimum audio, only.

This is a great concept. Tinkerers are so interesting to watch create, but this series needs a major overhaul and rebooting before I'll watch again.
