tim said alot of things that wouldnt work today
"if your wife is ngging you put tape over mouth"
(on women being in the garage) "they dont belong there"
Don't forget, "It's not a women's fault they grew up playing with dolls and ovens and don't know anything about tools."
Yeah. Somehow that stuff doesn't bother me though. It was just played for laughs. In season 4 there's an episode where a woman who is a contractor comes onto his show and he does a contest on the show with her and loses.
let's not forget that in the end, tim made himself the butt of every joke. he was basically a failure on every level and without his wife and his show partner he would have never even managed to get the tiniest task done.
shareYeah, this show was at the forefront of the husbands/men are stupid and dependent on their wives to accomplish anything trope. So glad Last Man Standing went the other direction with that. It was breath of fresh air.
shareThat whole rant about how women don't check the oil, even when the check oil light comes on...
shareunfortunately last man standing is aimed at all the "tims" in the world, something home improvement was poking fun at.
shareI think you may have missed the point of both shows.
HI poked fun at the difference between men and women and their lack of communication with one another.
LMS poked fun at the political divide and the difference between liberals and conservatives.
Al wasn't like that, though. He didn't need anyone. He could fix things properly and also cook and sew (I think he said he learned to sew in the military).
shareOn Home Improvement and Last Man Standing, Tim Allen wasn't portraying a "working-class hero"

"In truth, Home Improvement and Last Man Standing are shows about wealthy families, media personalities, and massive privilege," says Kathryn VanArendonk. Both of Allen's roles as Tim Taylor and Mike Baxter aren't working-class, she argues. "Networks may well reboot one of these shows — 'economic diversity' was always a thin euphemism for Trumpism," she says. "But any reading of these shows that argues they’re speaking to a 'real,' silenced America is false. They are representations of wealthy white privilege, every bit as elitist as the politics they supposedly rail against." ALSO: Don't forget Home Improvement was a massive indictment of toxic masculinity. https://decider.com/2018/04/12/home-improvement-revival-toxic-masculinity/
Oh my, what a bunch of overthinking. And Tim Taylor seemed to be less wealthy than Mike Baxter. Isn't that economic diversity (whatever that means, eye roll) right there?
shareWell, if some loony says so....
share Trumpism,"
