I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
... View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
... View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreHome Improvement was a very humorous and charming US sitcom that usually had a moral message and dealt with serious issues at times, for example when Jill was tempted to have an affair with a beefy guy (played by Tom "Dukes of Hazzard" Wopat). There was an underlying maturity to the scripts and I could enjoy 22 minutes (excluding commercials) of Home Improvement and laugh at the same time.But I felt one of the episodes crossed the line and I'm sorry the editors didn't see fit to remedy it. Tim Allen was showing off a power tool to the Tool Time audience and grunted disparagingly "This ain't no Hop Sing" much to the knowing laughter of the audience. Seriously, this is something I would have expected in Beavis and Butthead, not Home Improvement.
... View MoreHome 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.
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreWhen i first watched Home improvement, I loved it right away. I fell in love with some of the characters right away, because I thought that they were awesome. Tim is the most hilarious character in the show. Wilson is the most serious character in the show. The kids are fun, and Al is funny. I'm so glad that they have 8 seasons. I have the first 7, but I'm waiting to buy the eighth one. I love this show a lot. It's one of my favourite shows of all time. I think that people will like it because it's funny, it's clean, and it's amazing. It's also relaxing too. I used to watch this show every day, but now I'm not. I watched it too many times, but I absolutely love it. I love Tim, Al, and Wilson. Those are my favourite characters. In the three kids, I like Randy the most. I like Heidi the most in the tool girls, and I like Ilene (Al's girlfriend) better than Jill. (tim's wife) I was surprised of how well this show was done. I am really happy that I own them, and I'm happy that I love the show this much. I give this show a 10/10.
