Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
There's no more reliable engine for comedy than the differences between men and women; Home Improvement puts that topic front and center. Launched from the stand-up comedy of Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story), this sturdy sitcom rests on the endearing, befuddled machismo of Tim Taylor (Allen), the host of a how-to-build-stuff show called Tool Time, who finds raising three sons and being a supportive husband isn't always as easy as sanding down a door frame. In the show's first season, the tried-and-true domestic plotlines (for example: wife wants to have a romantic dinner, husband wants to watch the big game--the fodder of every family sitcom since the dawn of television) are given a fresh spin by Home Improvement's embrace (and gentle mockery) of the men's movement that flourished in the early '90s. Tim's neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman), whose face is always obscured by the fence between their yards, proves to be a font of Iron John-style wisdom--wisdom that Tim comically garbles when he puts it into practice. Allen and Patricia Richardson (as Tim's prickly but tolerant wife, Jill) immediately established a cozy but smart banter with enough bite to rise above the bland bickering of too many sitcoms. Some jokes degenerate into schtick--Tim's manly grunting becomes rote by the second episode--but Allen and his writing team consistently found surprises in this familiar territory. The capable supporting cast also includes Tim's sensitive and woefully single assistant Al (Richard Karn), his three cute sons (Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zachery Ty Bryan, and Taran Noah Smith), and Tool Time's eye-candy (future Baywatch sex bomb Pamela Anderson). --Bret Fetzer




Rating: - Not one of the best seasons
I liked this show, but the first season was not one of my favorites. A lot of the early episodes had mostly the same plot:

1. Tim and Jill have an argument.
2. Tim talks to Wilson about their argument.
3. Wilson gives Tim advice.
4. Tim goes to Jill and tells her a mixed-up version of what Wilson said. Jill doesn't understand.
5. Tim gets serious and explains what he means.

I enjoyed more of the later episodes. They were better after Brad, Mark, and ... Read More

Rating: - tool time
I just got this season on dvd. It is great! I love the pilot episode where Tim rewires the dishwaser. This show has just the right mixture of testosterone and grunting for us guys, and enough of the other stuff for the rest of the audience. When I started watching the show I could not believe how young the children looked. Then I watched an episode from season eight and it was hard to believe how long it it had been. Talk about time flying when you are having fun. Well, if you want great videoes with ... Read More
