There's no more reliable engine for comedy than the differences between men and women; Home Improvement puts that topic front and center. Launched from the stand-up comedy of Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story), this sturdy sitcom rests on the endearing, befuddled machismo of Tim Taylor (Allen), the host of a how-to-build-stuff show called Tool Time, who finds raising three sons and being a supportive husband isn't always as easy as sanding down a door frame. In the show's first season, the tried-and-true domestic plotlines (for example: wife wants to have a romantic dinner, husband wants to watch the big game--the fodder of every family sitcom since the dawn of television) are given a fresh spin by Home Improvement's embrace (and gentle mockery) of the men's movement that flourished in the early '90s. Tim's neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman), whose face is always obscured by the fence between their yards, proves to be a font of Iron John-style wisdom--wisdom that Tim comically garbles when he puts it into practice. Allen and Patricia Richardson (as Tim's prickly but tolerant wife, Jill) immediately established a cozy but smart banter with enough bite to rise above the bland bickering of too many sitcoms. Some jokes degenerate into schtick--Tim's manly grunting becomes rote by the second episode--but Allen and his writing team consistently found surprises in this familiar territory. The capable supporting cast also includes Tim's sensitive and woefully single assistant Al (Richard Karn), his three cute sons (Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Zachery Ty Bryan, and Taran Noah Smith), and Tool Time's eye-candy (future Baywatch sex bomb Pamela Anderson). --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Amazing series!
Absolutely loved Tim Allen in Home Improvement. Saw all 8 seasons on TV. Finally got a chance to buy the first season - great to watch the episodes again! The DVD contains great content ... love the packaging as well!
A must buy for any Tim "the toolman" fan!
Rating:  - So that's how you open the bag!
This is a much collection to have. Watchin him open a bag of potato chips is hilarious!
Rating: - Funny, family friendly TV show
The characters have not fully developed yet in season one, but all the beginnings are there. It is funny, clean for children to see, and teaches valuable lessons on getting along with your family. And did I mention funny??
Rating: - Family Favorite
Home Improvement is a true family favorite - I love all the running gags in the series such as the neighbor Wilson, who never exposes his full face, Tim's constant attempts to "tweak" all of the home appliances to add "more power," etc. More than that, I love how this TV family interacts with each other, and how the show manages to be hysterically funny without disparaging traditional family values. I plan on adding all of this series to my video library.
Rating: - Still Funny!
This sitcom made me laugh years ago - now my teenagers are watching it, and it still cracks me up!
