Post by Bmuntz »

Season one and two are now out on DVD! I own both of them are there really funny. I watched the show a lot when there were first on and now it's great to see them on DVD. Did anyone else buy them? Or an fan of the show?

I liked it when it was first on, but I thought it sorta got repetative.

*Tim does something stupid--segment of Tool Time that somehow echoes whatever is going on--Tim talks to Wilson for advice--Tim tries to take the advice but says something stupid based on what Wilson said--Tim finally figures things out and does/says the right thing, and everything is resolved!*

While it did stray from that from time to time, that was a pretty common outline for many episodes...

I like Home Improvement! It's fun, if not always entirely family-friendly. I agree with Top that it can get a bit repetitive, but I still always find it funny, so I don't really care! \:D/

I like Al. :inlove: Okay, so I don't have a crush on him, but he can be so funny sometimes! Just the inflection in his voice at times can make a scene fabulous! \:D/ His pathetic life is amusing, too.

LCD connection: The woman who played Eileen for a couple of seasons of Home Improvement also played Mike's mom on all three Last Chance Detectives movies, and on the one (I think) radio ep that Mike's mom was in, too.

Home Improvement is an awesome pretty clean show! Tim Allen is hilarious. I think I have seen every single episode. They are on re-runs all the time. A [however many seasons it was] disk set would be cool.

Well I think Tim Allen does movies once in a while... the guy that played Wilson passed away. :( And the guy that played Al was hosting Family Feud but I don't think that's still on... The actress who played Jill (Patricia Richardson?) I think still acts some.

I don't know of any of the kids doing anything these days, either.

Oh, i odn't have the DVD's...but the episodes are all written in my head. I've seen them so many times, (like listening to AIO), that i've got half of 'em memorized. That is a really good show. Oh, i think the guys who played brad and and randy still act a little, either as extras in other tv shows, or in movies. THough i haven't seen Mark in anything else.
I'm still watching the repeats all the time. Theere are one or 2 that i dont really like seeing a lot, cause i've seen them enough, and they were only funny the first time, but others are funny over and over again. So yeah.

The two older boys have been in other things. JTT was on Veronica Mars and both were on Smallville.

Though it's not extremely important... Zachery Ty Bryan was on Veronica Mars as well.

I enjoyed watching it. Tim Allen actually wore a sweatshirt from every Michigan college/university during the shows run.

That's cool. I know he's worn a lot, but that is a whole lot. But yeah, it's a cool show. And i like how it is pretty much about a normal family, instead of a hollywood one.

Yeah yeah, we all love Al...

On a real note, I absolutely love that show! I have the first three seasons on DVD, and my brother told me in June when the fourth season came out not to buy it b/c Christmas is coming soon. And of course I catch it on TV when I can, b/c it's downright halirious.
