Richard Latanville Home Improvement was a real sitcom with real issues. It has gut-busting laughter with a touch of touchy reality. The premise of the show is about Tim Taylor and his family. Tim host a local cable TV show called "Tool Time." with the serious, knowledgeable Al Borland as assistant and Tool girl "Lisa" (Pam Anderson pre - Baywatch. Season 1 and 2), and Debbe Dunning )Season 3-8). The show is set in a Detroit suburb before the "Decline of Detroit."Tim (Tim Allen) grew up without a father who died when he was 10, so he practically raised his brother. It is derived on his real father who died from drunk driving in real life. Because he raised in a all male setting, that where his manhood took hold. He "learn?" how to use tools and build stuff and improve stuff. But his flaw is he uses "more power." which ruins the project or kills the tools. And he can be clumsy. A lot of jokes a based on Tim's antics.Jill (Patricia Richardson) was raised in a military family, she didn't have much of a childhood as she moved to a lot of houses. Tim had all brothers Jill had all sisters. But she learned to put on a tough face due to the military background. She is sensible, frumpy plain suburban housewife. Her quality eventually sized Tim Man-Ego down.Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan). The oldest child. Going though puberty, he experience angst where Tim helped him though it by using tools and creating, not destroying. He grew up being athletic, being a soccer pro. And into girls. Randy (Johnathan Taylor Thomas). The Middle child. He wasn't into sports or cars like Tim, but he has more qualities of the mother. He is sweet like mother, funny like father. Mark (Taran Smith). The youngest child. Grew up as a "Weakling" picked on by Randy and Brad. Learned karate to gain confidence. Then in his tween to teen years became goth and dark. The 3 boys is perceived as a typical suburban family.Wilson (Earl Hindman) Neighbor. Running gag where he hides his face. But offers Tim some helpful, sage advice though quotes and situations of ancient and historic people. Then Tim screws up the quotes when he tries to apply it into correcting (His or other people's) mistakesAs the show grew, the setting grew, Harry's hardware store was introduced Harry and Delores was introduced. Tim's brothers came in and Jill's sister and mother/father. Then in season 8, Randy moved to Costa Rica when Johnathan bowed out to pursue a movie career. So Heidi (Debbe Dunning) started to have more role into the show. Al Borland (Richard Karn)also had more influence into the show, becoming Tim's friend.This show was one of the best shows in the 90s. I am appalled at the negative reviews saying that Tim's or Jill's character was annoying, but if Tim was a sensitive easy to get along, you think the show would last as long as 8 season? Or become number 1 at one point? This show had the laughs. But also has the reality of growing up, like the time Randy has a cancer scare, but it's hyperthyroidism. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry. It can be serious and also hilarious. Today's sitcoms don't have this formula. Because of the elements, it lasted 8 seasons, and still enjoyable to watch today.
webmaster-computer1 Finding a good home remodeling contractor can be very hectic task. However there are some must have that are necessary to make sure a re modeler will do a good job. Here are some good useful tips you would need to take care whenever you want to hire a professional home remodeling contractor of your home improvement.1.

stillarfish-1 I consider Home Improvement to be one of the best family shows of all time. The clean, clever humor portrays a loving home environment which heightens the entertainment value versus cheap laughs based upon obscene innuendo. It hearkens back to the Andy Griffith Show by teaching a lesson in humanity as its framework. Crude comedy is flagrant within modern society however clean comedy remains an art form. Unfortunately, Mr. Hindman's demise will forever mar any attempts at a reunion since his character was pivotal in the series structure which would cloud the affect of regenerating the mood of this show. Every character possesses an inner goodness in every episode which is a tribute to the actors as well as the writers. Great entertainment as this is seldom found in our modern society yet is a gift when discovered.
neeraj-14 A lot of reviewers has commented on the funny side of Home Improvement but none on the philosophical side.Yes this show is extremely funny but what makes this show to be exceptional is that it also has very deep insights on the basics of humankind. Wilson is there to do so so and Tim Allen uses Wilson to explain the basics of Human relationships in a very simple way. When Wilson appears on the scene the tempo of the show slows down. It is funny in an intelligent way and also Wilson explains to Tim about the basics of life and relationships. I liked the character of Tim Taylor most. I would like to add to one other reviewers comment that 'Tim is a stupid ass' by saying that he is an open minded stupid ass. I mean that most of the men are stupid asses like Tim Taylor but this stupidity to create something shows the innovative nature of men. Also Tim Taylor earns his redemption by being open to and heeding to advice from Wilson.This show does not pretend to be a serious insightful show on life but it is as insightful as any Woody Allen movie. It somewhat reminds me of the movie "Life is Beautiful".
