I loved this show, as a kid, because it was one of the shows that my family all watched together. Eating dinner in front of the TV was not a usual thing in my house. We always ate at the kitchen table. No TV allowed. Except for this show! We laughed together, and I will always have fond memories of that!

[@BAMCarter12]

yess same!! for real!

[@someguy4131]

Too bad that will never be another show like this again. This is because there aren't enough people of color, main cast is all white, have on Anderson's character isn't transgender, none of the sons are gay, there wasn't the daughter, and the wife isn't the lead character 🙄

[@xEvilRaptorx]

Similar here. I was the youngest child, my 4 year older brother and my cousin slightly older than him. We were like the 3 boys. My parents felt very similar to Tim and Pat. It was like watching an alt version of our family on TV. So memorable

[@krisfrederick5001]

This was one of the few things my family watched together as a kid before they divorced. And the last thing I watched with my Father before he passed from cancer, it is precious to me in so many ways. I love that the critics didn't get it at award shows but it meant so much to us. Still fall asleep to it almost every night 🏆 ❤ From Detroit

[@jessiireyes8441]

Tim Allen was such a a huge part of my childhood growing up in the 90s. I used to watch Home Improvement with my family as a kid, watching it now in my 30s as a parent makes it seem like a different experience since I can relate to the parental struggles. Lol. My brother and dad have both passed away and this show brings back so many memories of us watching it. ❤️

This show is my childhood! So thankful Hulu has all the seasons available to watch! Our family loves this show!

All I remember of Home Improvement on ABC, as a literal preschooler, was that it was this really big deal. I watched the reruns starting at 14 years old. I can see why it was such a big deal in the 90s: it was a funny and sweet show with a huge heart.

It was my senior year of high school & I remember the first time I heard Wilson's voice I went "Is that the voice of Herman Munster?" My career Army stepdad & I would watch it together & the first time Tim Allen did the grunt noise thing mom just glared at me, then rolled her eyes & smirked as she tossed a Snickers at me & went "Just like your grandfather" 🤭

A 16-year-old with a 32-year-old? Isn't that illegal? How did she not get prosecuted or something? Even if the parents thought she was 25, that's just as bad...

[@bondinvisible]

The age of consent in most states is 16 it's just frowned upon

[@joshmorris5356]

It’s 16 in SC still

[@LS-sb9qx]

Sadly, most states have loopholes for things like that. In many cases it is left up to a random judge to decide if a child(no matter the age) is eligible to marry(legally allowing sexual assault against a minor) an adult. Some states both parents and a judge have to be in agreement. It’s really disgusting and disappointing. The laws against raping animals is even less restrictive access the globe but even in the us. There really is a group of individuals that are interested in these atrocities against the innocent, a group big enough to keep these laws largely hidden from the public and protected by all the crazy loopholes. Don’t take my word for it though, please look into the laws and the history behind them.

I enjoyed this show soo much! What an incredibly wholesome watch. It literally had everything you wanted to enjoy with the family! Thank you to all that participated in Home Improvement!

[@CynicalDriver]

This show was ridiculously important to me growing up in the 90's. I related to the Randy character on so many levels it was literally strange... Yet reassuring at the same time. My brother was very similar to Brad, which gave him a reason to watch, and Tim seemed like the kind of dad I wished I still had. Being the same age as Randy meant I grew up alongside that character. That sarcastic self-assured demeanor felt like it was modeled after me in a way. This whole thing was a nostalgia fueled trip to the past.

When I was little my family had to move from Michigan to Texas and after we did one of the few things we found time to do as a family was to watch episodes of Home Improvement, not only because it was funny. It was, but because with it being set in Michigan it reminded us of home.

Fun fact: Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer were in one episode of “Home Improvement,” as audience members of Tim’s show “Tool Time.” The episode was actually a backdoor pilot to their sitcom “Buddies” which was canceled after five episodes.

[@TeamAbrams]

Breuer wrote about that in his autobiography. He said Tim was "such a dick" to him and Dave and he basically wanted nothing to do with them.

[@BillCosbyTouchedMyDoodle]

@@TeamAbrams wow, I never heard anything bad about Tim, other than his checkered past stemming from cocaine smuggling. Jim’s encounter makes me no longer amused by the KZbin video of Buzz Lightyear saying “To infinity, and [Tim Allen grunt],” as well as his standup special “Men Are Pigs.” I guess it’s hard to separate the art from the artist.

E! Rewind Pop Culture Throwbacks, Patricia Richardson had a guest appearance in “Law and Order: SVU”. It was episode five of the first season and was called “Wanderlust”. In my opinion, she did a great job. I remember seeing the news that Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested around the same time I saw a rerun of his guest appearance in episode eight of season two of “Burn Notice”. The episode was called “Double Booked”. I’m not surprised Tim Allen had “fits” because in my opinion I believe he was “emotionally stuck” at age 11. Going to a counselor back then, and even in the 1980s, wasn’t done when a parent past away. We kids were expected to “get over it” and move on. I equate Richard Karn’s starring as ‘Al Borland’ in “Home Improvement” to Betty White’s starring as ‘Elka Ostrovsky’ in “Hot in Cleveland” because each was hired for one episode of their respective shows, but ended up being cast for the show.
