    One of my favorite shows ever...

    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!

    A good sitcom for the 1990s

    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.

    Great fun for 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.

    Brilliant!

    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!

    I loved that show, and it's so hard to see it go.

    I have watched the show "Home Improvement" ever since 1991, when I was in second grade. I must say that it is one of the absolute best shows on television, and it is so hard to see it go. I have followed the show from the time the boys were in elementary school to now, when they are all teenagers. The ideas and techniques that were put into this show are superb, like never showing Wilson Wilson's face, and the fact that Tim always got hurt in every episode! Those things kept people coming back for more. The show kept you laughing for a half hour, and also kept you crying at the final bows of the last show. The actors in this show could'nt have done a better job, and I will miss tuning in to see all of them every Tuesday. It has been a good eight years; thank goodness there will still be reruns playing! And one more thing; I LOVED how they had Al walk out in a plaid tuxedo when he took his bow! We finally saw your face Wilson!

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Early on, Tim Allen would deliberately misquote lines in some scenes to help child actors Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Taran Noah Smith, so that they would feel less pressure about getting their own lines wrong.
    • Goofs
      Despite the character of Al being single for much of the series, Richard Karn always wore a wedding ring on the show (because he is married in real life).
    • Quotes

      [repeated line whenever Tim makes a smart comment on Tool Time]

      Al: I don't think so, Tim.

    • Crazy credits
      Most episodes featured outtakes from either Tool Time or the show itself as a backdrop to the closing credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The syndication version of the episode "I Was a Teenage Taylor" [6.7] contains a scene previously unincluded in the primetime version in which Tim brings his Halloween guy to the Tool Time set.
