None of you are correct. At the end of the last season, Tim decides to take the house with them to Indiana. You can see the house on a barge being pulled by a tugboat.
This is why I don't get why so many people are bothered by audience laughter in older sitcoms. If it's too much and clearly been added in, fine. But these older shows were just filmed in front of a live audience and it's an audience reaction like you'd get at a play. You wouldn't get pissed off at people around you laughing at a comedy play
@@joevictor53 Sometimes it can be distracting. Married with Children, as time went by, got really bad with it. The actors constantly had to pause, sometimes in the middle of a line, because the crowd was so loud. I also don't get this "It's like a theater play" nonsense. It's a TV Show. I watch it at home in my TV, i want to enjoy a professionally produced and filmed TV show, not some low budget theater piece made for 3.50 on a single small stage.
There are heaps of episodes where you can see his face through the gaps in the fence but back then you couldn't just jump on google to find out what he looked like. It kept some mystery to his character not seeing it fully.
The most glaring mistake I ever noticed was in Season 5 Episode 10: Doctor In The House At the beginning of the episode, you can see that the extendable ladder Tim placed against the wall is now secured to the top of the wall with a hinge after Tim falls over.
It's not a mistake, it's a safety measure obviously and they didn't try to hide it because it was the 90's and nobody thought that TV's would get massive or Blu Ray would become a thing. On the small TV's back then with low resolution and all that, it probably wasn't very noticeable.
There’s also an episode in season 3, on the tool time set, I think it’s the episode where they sand a table. They have a moment where they show the set from behind the audience and one of the crew members on tool time is wearing a very obvious Home Improvement varsity type jacket.
Im not sure if it was the emmy's or golden globes, Home Improvement won like best TV show and the whole cast went up, including the actor that plays Wilson wearing prescribed sun glasses. Tim Allen tried to hide his lower jaw by putting his hand over his mouth for a few seconds and the two started laughing.
If you know cars it’s obvious they substituted the rare ‘55 Nomad for a slightly more common non Nomad two-door wagon in the episode where it gets crushed. Various things including the upright B-pillar and incorrect shaped rear wheel arches are giveaways.
Yeah, that's an issue that was discussed a lot on car forums - they used a different car for the crushing scene and made it to (poorly) resemble the actual car.
In multiple episodes you can see shadows of crew members in the background as well as their reflections in the doning room windows. Theres one episode where a crew person is standing on set and you can see their reflection in the window clearly. It's actually kind of creepy lol
Another mistake is in the S8 E15: Knee Deep, when Brad trips over the rolled up carpet, he hurts his left knee. But in the S8 E23: Trouble-a-Bruin, Brad comes home limping but his right knee is bandaged.
there was an episode with George Foreman , at the end George chases Tim across the house stage and into the tool time stage. I'm sure it was for fun as most of the goofs are at the end.
On season 4 episode 20, on the bottom left hand corner, the shadow of the camera being moved by a crane is noticeable as Wilson was finishing singing and playing the harmonica. Before Tim talked to him about Jill.
It's not like a mistake, per say, but I always enjoyed it when Tim and Jill talk about having a lot of brother's and sisters and you only see a couple of them
Not true we saw both of time brothers, just more of Marty than the other. And there is an episode where all of Jill's sisters come I think it was to plan their parents anniversary
So let me get this straight. For the nail guns shooting up the Tool Time set, instead having the nail guns firing, they instead actually shot up the set with a rifle instead of using some sort of low risk rigging? I mean, i am all for one choosing to own a gun or whatever, i just find it interesting that they chose to shoot up the set for real
In Season 6, episode 21 (Insult to injury) Heidi produces a large poster of a roller and calls it a "steam roller". A few seconds later Al calls it a "roller" and mentions that it has a diesel engine but later in the show says "We'll be using this steam roller to smooth out our asphalt". Then Tim arrives and says "This is one good looking steam roller".
@@sw6188 Because they were powered by steam engines for a long time, tons of generations grew up with that and it simply became the established term. It's not any different than people using brand name for products, instead of their regular name, like saying "I need an aspiriine" instead of "Pain killer" or "Headache Tablet", people call them Aspirin even if it's another brand.
Hello, I have a suggestion for a movie with facts. I wanted you to try Jack and the Beanstalk from 2009 (make sure, if you do it, can you mention the flux capacitor in the school)
Call me silly but kinda makes me sad when seeing the missing roof or something like that on a house set. Went to Disneyworld once and saw the Golden Girls house, and then no back.
In S5E17 ("Fear of Flying"), Al is shown struggling with a manual floor gear shifter, attempting to find reverse. After the truck lurches forward, Al is shown using an automatic column gear shifter to quickly reverse the truck.
It was part of the fun when the show was new every week. If you weren't laughing too hard you could pick out the little mistakes constantly. The main ones are the hilarious bodies flying in stunts. Generally it was a stunt dummy for Tim. They looked blatantly fake and unreal. It was all 0art of that shows charm. Oh and the goofy little things to hide Wilson's face always cracked me up. Earl Hindman would occasionally be visibly giggling behind a prop lol
every tv show filmed in the past 70 years has that at some point. if nobody catches it in the dailies then it stays. can't reshoot with tight schedules like that.
I was around the same age and didn't care all this stuff happened because I love home improvement and still do to this day. Brings back some unforgettable memories. Tim was a genius for coming up with these ideas for his sitcom.
From what I read it was because when Tim Allen was a kid, he could only see half of his neighbors face behind the fence. That's where the inspiration came from
@AchtungBaby77 Yeah, it was just a nice running gag - in the early seasons most of the time he was just behind the fence, but in later seasons where he would more often appear in different places, they got more and more creative in hiding his lower face.
I don't remember the exact episode, but there's one where Tim is wrestling with one (or two?) of his sons in the backyard, and you can see the "grass" shifting around below them. Kind of kills the illusion that it's real grass in a real yard.
Perhaps. Though I think we expect more from a television show than a theater production. It's just that these videos typically invite viewers to add to the list of mistakes in the comments box, if they've ever seen a mistake themselves. So that's why I mentioned it. Doesn't mean I don't like the sitcom; I do. Nothing's perfect and that's okay.
@@mysticalrose6576 I think people expect too much. It's something you can watch for free. People forget that you used to be able to put up an antenna and get, like, 5 major networks for absolutely no cost to you, completely funded by ad space
That actually happened quite often on the show, they didn't really bolt down the fake grass carpet. Same with walls moving, which also happens a couple times on HI (it's even more noticable on other shows like Married with Children, especially slams the heads of Kelly's girlfriends in the walls) they would constantly wobble.
I always found it interesting that we never actually see what their house looks like.
I think in the series finale they show the house on the back of a truck
@christmaschris487 you are correct
@@christmaschris487 Eh, I never interpreted that as a literal deception of what the full outside outside of the house looks like, more of a silly representation of a house
You are correct.. especially in a time when sitcoms always had establishing shots of the exterior of their homes

2:00 to me, a sitcom is just a stage play, and like when you see a play at a theater, its not important that everything look perfectly realistic.
This is why I don't get why so many people are bothered by audience laughter in older sitcoms. If it's too much and clearly been added in, fine.

They were actually considering revealing Wilson’s face in the series finale and filmed 2 versions of that scene but went with the shot that hid it
That's interesting!
He did finally reveal his face in the curtain call at the very end.
@@JamesSmith-jq6om there are two versions, depending on how you seen it (streaming service, dvd, etc) gives only one of the two ways.
I remember seeing it live and it was revealed
@@JamesSmith-jq6ombut why 8 years of waiting ?
Interesting even though Home Improvement was the funniest sitcom ever. I haven't seen it since I was in the 3rd Grade.
(Jokingly) I guess some people off camera want to be part of the show too. 😂
Amazing channel! I'm sad I just discovered it but happy I get to binge all the videos. Keep up the great work!!
Last time I researched the series I counted at least 6 times Wilson's full face gets shown
I love every single one of your videos keep up the good work
same here!
Fun show. Loved the washing machine he gave more power, it looked cool too. Cool piece of set design.
I believe their was another time when Wilson's face was accidentally revealed, but it was so small that it was hard to see

I still love this show!
theres an early season one episode where the shot accidentally revealed Wilsons face when Wilson turned his head. probably like 7 or 8

you missed the one where Tim introduces him self as Tim Allen instead of Tim Taylor in a tool time scene.

wait ... they actually used a rifle on set with a live audience?

Thats better than not having enough free time
