teh later seaons are hard to get through
but was a top 10 rating sucess the entire run
I WATCHED IT THROUGH ITS ENTIRE RUN...AND NOW OWN THE TOOLBOX COMPLETE SERIES SET...THE LATER SEASONS ARE LESSER THAN THE EARLIER SEASONS,BUT I ENJOY THE ENTIRE RUN.
shareThe show was always limited as are most sitcoms. Asides from the Tool Time assistant there weren't any female hotties either.
shareIf you mean recurring character hotties, you're probably right, other than Heidi, the tool girl aka Debbe Dunning...and Lisa, the original tool girl for the 1st 2 seasons...aka Pamela Anderson. But, there were hotties that were guest stars throughout the show.
sharebut was a top 10 rating sucess the entire run.
The show ranked 14th in its last year.
shareIt did not.

Any TV lover should pick up the book in the used section for less than a $25.00.
Home Improvement, I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith are only shows I found to be top 10 it's whole run
shareThere was a drop in quality but there were still some good ones in the latter seasons like when Jill gets recorded trashing her professor in Marks video project . Honestly any episode that showed Jills arrogance biting her in the ass was comedy gold for me.

Home Improvement was an incredibly popular '90s sitcom, but even massive hits like this reach the peak of their good years before spiraling down toward cancellation. So I rewatched the entire series to give you my take on when Home Improvement died.
Yeah. It wasn't as good when Mark, Brad, and Randy became teenagers.
shareTim's schtick started getting predictable and a bit grating. The Wilson gimimick was wearing thin. Randy started getting too sanctimonious for a sitcom and poor Mark was just awful after he stopped being cute.
shareI’m seasons 1-3, the boys were my favorite part of the show, especially Brad and Randy. But I found that as they got older, none of them were all that great at acting.
shareThat's happens a lot on these family sitcoms with child actors. Once they hit puberty and grow up, they all lose their acting ability and become terrible actors. Jonathan (Who's the Boss), DJ (Roseanne), Ben (Growing Pains), Katie (Benson), Jennifer (Family Ties) Rudy (The Cosby Show), Max (George Lopez), the kids on Modern Family.
shareDisagree. I very much still enjoyed Brad and Randy as they got older. I thought both actors were very good. The actor playing Mark however was the weak link
shareThe actor playing Randy was probably trying to set himself up for a bigger career and he got some chances but they never set him up long term. I only vaguely remember Mark, I think he was like this 3rd wheel in the brothers set and the writers didn't know what to do with him as the focus was on mostly Randy.
shareYep, the show was at it best during the earlier seasons when the boys were little. Like most family sitcoms with children, the show is never the same once the kids become grown up or hit puberty.

I always found the mother to be a chore to watch. Typical of the TV sitcom mothers of the era, judgmental, no sense of humour, self important etc It made it tough to watch at times.
