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

Karen E. Pettus (Garland, TX United States)
Love it, it has been so fun to watch the characters grow up literally as the kids did and just get more comfortable as a working cast. The affection among the group is obvious and more realistic as time goes by.

The package was delivered right on my birthday! What a fantastic surprise. The packaging was good and the show was out of this world. Brought back lots of good memories. Brought it along for my friend's barbecue and we sat around adn watched it. It was hilarious and everybody enjoyed it. Will be buying the WHOLE SET! Argh, argh, argh, argh!

This is the 2nd Home Improvement DVD I purchased for my 12 year old grandson. He totally loves them. I Will probably purchase the entire TV series for him.

Arrived within a few days of order; seems as package & disks are new & never opened. I've only just gotten to the first disk & shows, but was very good. Seems as some additional scenes on the first show. Looking forward to the rest.
