Nothing on TV holds a torch to Home Improvement. It was an escape from a life i wouldn't wish on anyone and for 23 minutes you were able to be in a household so very few actually experience, perfection!
I’ve been a fan of Home Improvement as a kid. When Al would hold the poster board’s with the phone number or address for Tool Time I thought it was real and that you could call in. My mom bought me own tool belt to match Tim’s because I loved this show so much. I still have it. Thank-you so much for being a major part of my childhood 😊. Till this day I still watch the reruns and was really sad when it ended.
This show has been playing on my television since the first season aired. At least 3 days a week it’s the first sound I hear when arriving home from work.
Knowing that Al's last name is actually Wilson makes me love them both even more. It's impossible to imagine that Jill, Wilson and AL were all supposed to be different actors. This was one of the few shows my family watched together before they divorced. And the last thing I watched with my Dad before he passed. Not to be a downer. This show is special to me
I absolutely love Home Improvement. I’ve started to rewatch the series on DisneyPlus. I just wish Disney would consider remastering the programme in high definition, as it’s still an amazing programme to watch. Plus, I’m so glad that Richard Karn worked throughout the series. Such an awesome actor and really enjoyed all his interactions with Tim :)
I don't know why, other than the pain I have in my entire spine, but this make me tear up. I guess maybe better memories of better times without pain. I have never heard these stories or the history of the show, but miss a lot about. I have tools for fixing vehicles and a project for me was high on my list moving closer. Now, I am ready to give up. Grateful the was made as it brings back memories. What luck...I got the nickel tour of life. Now I have pennies.
What a treat. And to answer Rick's question at 27:02, yes, Tim did in fact have have an episode centered on Randy's girlfriend, who has a profound interest in cars. It gives us a glimpse into what the dynamic would look like between Tim and a daughter. Home Improvement is very near and dear to me. I watched it growing up and I continue to watch it to this day. Every morning, in fact. It's what I start every day to. Not just the characters but the house. I even have the same Edward McKnight Kauffer paintings throughout my home. And I'm wearing a Binford Tools shirt today! Obviously, it's my favorite show of all time. But more than that, there's something almost tangible about it that's beyond words. It's comforting and timeless. "Thank you" doesn't suffice.
His character was always so calm. Tim would do stuff you would think would infuriate someone, but Al was always calm. Never saw him angry or raise his voice.
@@kmacksmcdonald6475 You know what, that's probably what I was so drawn to. I knew nobody like that in my life, everyone usually made big deals of nothing around me.

My favorite TV series, all time!
Means more than you know!

It’s hard to beat!
Ho ho ho ho ho! A Home Improvement reunion with Matt and Richard? I DO think so Tim!

Thank you so much for sharing, Kris!

Thank you!
Richard Karns was immediately likeable and there were times I forgot I was watching actors and thought I was watching This Old House.

Richard Karn was immediately likable, even to me as a very little kid. Seems like a really nice man irl too.
A legend!
Yeah I always thought that too. As Al Borland he comes across as so so nice and just very very likeable. Seems like he is also that way in real life.
His character was always so calm. Tim would do stuff you would think would infuriate someone, but Al was always calm. Never saw him angry or raise his voice.

So "Al" was actually "Wilson"?!? 😆😂🤣
