Home Improvement is a family sitcom that followed the everyday trials and tribulations of Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) and his wife Jill (Patricia Richardson). The show was well received by critics and was a high-rated series for much of its run. During its nine seasons, the show offered laughs and life lessons in equal measure.
On May 10, 2011, Walt Disney Studios released a complete series DVD box set of the show to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its premiere in September 1991. The 25-disc set contains all 204 episodes of the show and includes every special feature found on previous season sets. The box set also includes a new interview with Earl Hindman and a replica of the show’s iconic toolbox.
The first season of home improvement is a blast of comic blunders from Tim and his misguided attempts at home repair. As the series progresses, we get to know more about the characters and their idiosyncrasies. Jill reveals that she wants two sinks in the bathroom, Tim attempts to improve the kitchen on a budget and Brad wears his hair in spikes for a girl.
After eight seasons of the popular show, Richardson decided to leave the series. The show’s writers tried to convince her to return for one last season, but she refused. She told Entertainment Tonight that she was ready to move on and didn’t want to continue without her husband, actor Tim Allen.
