Synopsis
TV Series (1991-1999). 8 Seasons. Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) was in his comfort zone when hosting Tool Time but had a tough time exerting his power around his own home. It was his ever-patient wife, Jill (Patricia Richardson), who aptly supplied the rye comebacks, affectionate teasing, and was wise enough to have the fire department's number on speed dial! With a drill in hand and the best intentions at heart, Tim attempted to solve any crisis that came his way. As a father, Tim tried to teach his sons Brad (Zachery Ty Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and Mark (Taran Smith) about the joys — and requirements — of manhood, while at the same time, he tried to understand the psyche of that elusive species … women. Tim often found guidance from his eccentric, philosophizing over-the-fence neighbor, Wilson (Earl Hindman), who was always ready with a piece of wisdom or a funny anecdote. On his "Tool Time" show—the only place where he could truly "reclaim the male spirit"—Tim was assisted by Al Borland (Richard Karn), a quiet bachelor-carpenter who was devoted to his mother, and Heidi (Debbe Dunning), the hot-looking resident Tool Time Girl.

Critics' reviews
- "It doesn't help that four of Allen's one-liners -- delivered with an annoyingly smug leer -- are about butt cracks"
- "'Home Improvement' isn't groundbreaking TV or even the most original new show of the year, but it's the most perfectly realized: an idea whose time has come combined with sharp writing and once-in-a-blue-moon cast chemistry"
- "A relaxed and likable show...Allen is one of the fall's freshest finds (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
