Home Improvement was a sitcom that debuted in 1991, which allowed stand-up comedian Tim Allen his big break in the television and movie industry. The show centers around Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and his family. Tim runs a local program named Tool Time, a do-it-yourself show where Tim works on various projects that always somehow go wrong. A very funny show which lasted 8 seasons and was always a solid ratings performer during its run on the ABC network. The Cast also includes Tim's Wife, Jill (Patricia Richardson) three three sons Mark, Randy, and Brad.(Taran Smith, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zach Bryan) Other characters include wise next door neighbor, Wilson (Earl Hindman) Al Borland Tim's co-host (Richard Karn) and Heidi tim's female assistant (Debbie Dunning) The show began a new age of people that decided instead of selling their homes would stay and begin to fix up their own homes. Throughout this shows run as said before it was a solid ratings performer, always in the top 20 in each of its seasons, and receiving many awards, including a handful of emmys. Near the end of its run though, older son Jonathan Taylor Thomas left the show unexpectedly due to complications with Tim Allen, and to seek new projects. However despite what happened the show continued to do successful. In 1999, Home Improvement ended with a long three part finale, and a backstage stage pass which chronicles everything you wanted to know about this show over the years. In the end it was a rock solid comedy series with over 200 episodes and is syndication on WGN, TBS and other broadcast stations.
