Pat played a great mom. She was pretty, charming and held her ground. She should be proud of her character.

[@zackc.8015]

Ya she was cool and smart, one of my favorite TV moms.

[@robadams5799]

Yeah, those transitions from one scene to the next were clever.

[@steveleaman5343]

You won't get anything like this in today's social climate. It will be deemed highly offensive, white washed reeking of privilege which doesn't address any of the important issues of the current time. Entertainment can no longer be entertainment.

[@WaffleStomper69]

@@steveleaman5343 check out Tim's modern show, Last Man Standing. It shares a lot of the qualities of Home Improvement and is a complete outlier in the culture that has taken absolute control over media.

I’ve never loved a show more than Home Improvement!!.. sure I’ve watched others, but none come close to the laughter and love I felt from Home Improvement!!.. I still miss this show to this day, and if I ever catch wind of a rerun being on.. I’m cleaning my calendar to watch it, I’ll never forget the pilot, with Tim and Mark powering up the dishwasher.. Pure Gold

[@charlieknowlton7003]

Had to watch this as Home Improvement is one of my all time favorite shows.. Seriously they hit it on the head when they mentioned that it wasn't all about blowing up toasters but also about the family dynamic. The double meaning of the title Home Improvement was nothing short of genius. When I look at the shows that eventually overtook the show in ratings, they were nothing in comparison.

[@jameswilhite4247]

One of the best Bio's I have ever seen. It's great to see some of the characters doing cameo appearances on "Last Man Standing."

All the surviving cast needs to come back together in a similar fashion as the Friends reunion. Would be great to see them all together again

[@belowme70-1]

One of the greatest shows ever made!!! Wish they could bring it back.

[@banditgrizzy1955]

Grew up watching this show. Needed that humor and it played a good part in becoming a handyman ( Jack of all trades ) 👍😉 which has played an enormous part in surviving. Thank you Tim Allen and all involved in 🇺🇸HOME IMPROVMENT🇺🇸

[@camerakid92]

One of my all time favorite shows! I grew up with Home Improvement. I can watch it over and over and it never gets old. I can't even imagine how it was for the cast while filming the last episode. Seeing the pictures and them talking about it brings tears to MY eyes too!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Too bad JTT wasn't around for that show.

[@mamatemari6061]

Not-so-smart aleck um why does Zachery Ty Bryan look dehydrated in the photo at 42:22?

[@Stubysz]

This show was perfect in so many ways. I was only 2 when it started, but I remember it very fondly. It was a huge part of my childhood, and when Tim Allen started Last Man Standing.. it became a huge part of my 20's as well haha. Love Tim Allen!

[@xray111xxx]

I loved this show, but it is always time to go at some point. It is life. I am glad we all had a chance to watch Tim and Jill raise their boys and watch Tim do something incredibly silly, but even more join in that sense of family. My family was a rocky mess. This family made me laugh and feel warm and care for the characters and understand my own family. Thanks Home Improvement.

[@heyitsablackguy9553]

One of my favorite shows.

[@richardfolkman]

It's 2018 and I am still recognizing the way these artists and their stories blessed me and my family through our early family years. Thanks.

[@ILoveOneDirectionSoMuch735]

This is by far one of the greatest family sitcoms that has ever aired. I love how relatable and real Home Improvement was, and how funny it was and still is 20 or 30 years later. I could never ask for a better cast, they were all mean't to be in a beautiful show like Home Improvement. Their chemistry was so strong like they were actually a real family tackling real issues. No words can describe how much Respect I have for the creators, directors, cast members, etc. Home Improvement will always be my number one show to watch. I love Home Improvement much!!❤️

[@ILove80sAnd90sShows]

Home improvement is by far one of the best shows that has ever aired. Everything about it is just a masterpiece. I could never ask for a better cast on the show. Home Improvement always makes me laugh. I'm so proud of the amount of hard work they put into this show to make us laugh and feel happy. I also wanna thank the producers, writers, etc for making this beautiful show.

[@aquastar4336]

Seriously one of the best shows on TV in the 90s. The comparisons to real American Life are hilarious. My dad got his balls snipped not long after that episode aired.. actually my brother in law did too ha! It was like a family agreement to have the males neutered that year. Both of them laying around the house moaning while the women grilled out. My older brother opted out of the procedure but had a great time laughing with the ladies in the family. Good times! Great childhood memories connected with this show xoxo

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Yikes, TMI

[@leislsmith4293]

I love this series so much...I never had a family with Mom and Dad present...matter of fact my childhood was pretty terrifying so Home Improvement is one of my alltime favourite shows...wish it didnt have to end. Comedy is very important to me - its like chicken soup for my soul. Thank you kindly for creating this life saving show! :)

[@tjlance7031]

I watch Home improvement every day still. It's on Hulu

[@vccstudents]

I had the privilege of meeting Richard Karn the week my daughter was born. It was at a home remodeling expo, and he ended up contacting the event coordinator and asked how my wife's delivery turned out. The coordinator gave me an address, and I contacted him and the cast and told them how everything went. Mr. Karn was even nice and answered my one question that bothered me when I asked, "What does Wilson look like?" He also looked into my video camera and said, "I don't think so!"

[@joycehumphries392]

I love this show. You can't beat these sitcoms. They are the best ever.

[@xjcrossx]

At 6:03, when Tim says "LISTEN TO ME" I think that is one of the funniest lines in the whole show. Just the context and the delivery because he is talking about something that they know is humor but its like he gets mad and wants them to pay attention because it has some truth to it.

[@ninnastadther2549]

Great show great cast! It was my favorite and I like watching it again and again. Can the producers think of Home Improvement 2 with the Taylor kids having a family of their own, Tim and Jill as grandparents and yes of course, Al in it too. Am I asking too much?😊

[@ennuiblue4295]

[@cosmokramer179]

My mom and I used to watch this show all the time when I was little. Now that Disney Plus has all 8 seasons, we are reliving the old days

[@cigsbutt]

I was lucky enough to watch Tim Allen's stand up routine about tools ,I believe it was on Evening at the Improv. Tim, tore it up that night. I can remember at one point Tim said that he had tools to fix tools... I lost it. When the word got out that they were making it in to a sitcom I thought to myself this is going to be good, but I had no idea it was going to be that good. What made it even better was that in 1990 I had my one and only child... a son and we would watch the show together. When he got a little older I got him a toy toolbelt for Christmas one year, complete with plastic tools and that ended up being his costume for Halloween that year. GOOD SHOW...GOOD TIMES...GREAT MEMORIES.

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

Now I like the show even more, thanks a lot for uploading this documentary :)

[@tellurye]

*FUN FACT* : The show was actually Tim's idea. This show makes it sound like they thought of it. They came to Tim with a bunch of projects that essentially were tv series based off movies, like Turner and hooch, Dead Poets Society, etc) Ad Tim said No, I wanna do like a spoof of home improvement shows like Bob villa, but I want to be a screw up, etc. He held out and eventually Disney agreed. The rest, as they say, is history.

[@timothyparryjropen]

I think that the reason it was canceled was not the "boredom" but that Jonathon Taylor Thomas left, I think it hurt all of the cast badly and they couldn't recover from it. To me, it wasn't the same after he left, like a huge vacuum that could never be filled by anyone else.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

I think what killed the show (boredom, yes) was the kids growing up. That's happened to a lot of family shows. Adopting (IIRC) or at least casting those little girls really didn't help the ratings. I miss it as well, but it was time to go.

[@TC-dw6wg]

The boys grew up and the show can last only so long. Fantastic show!

[@malcolmmcleod6020]

When they did the final episodes, I was about to move out of home, miles away from my family. And in the episodes, you had Jill talking of taking a job in another state, and the family moving....and I was going through exactly the same emotions!!! I was thinking this is too close to how I'm feeling, it's cut right to the bone.

[@stevarino1989]

I do remember this show growing up in the 90s but mainly the theme song with Tim Allen's signature "AEUUUUH??!" I was 2 when it started and 10 when it ended. Kind of wish I was older. I would've watched it haha. I also wondered where the hell the grunting came from. =P

'Course being a suburban Detroiter it was very relatable. But in a broader remembrance one uses the term comfort food; this show was very much comfort show. That's why the finale was so touching, It was really sad to say goodbye.
