    As a kid growing up in the 90s, I lived vicariously through Home Improvement. Although I'm the youngest of 3 boys, I related more to Randy. But the reason I lived through this show growing up was because they represented the family I never had. Mom and dad divorced when I was 8, dad moved to another state and my brothers were in and out of JDC, jail and halfway houses. And I was put in with my aunt. So when Home Improvement came on, I would envision myself in that show and that way, I had the family dynamic that was denied me in real life.
    Watching this interview is bringing back GREAT memories and bringing on the tears. I now own the entire series and watch an episode or 2 every night.
    Home Improvement MADE my childhood!

    She's so right about keeping current events out of a show to keep it relevant longer. Plus, people want a place to escape from the craziness going on in the world and throwing in politics or things that are making people anxious just spoils the escape factor. My mom and i both work in the medical and when all the medical dramas started coming back, we had to skip the COVID episodes because we just couldn't take anymore of it. It has been horrible at work, we don't want to watch our work day on TV when we're trying to relax.

      I loved Home Improvement growing up in the 90s. Watched it with my family and we had so many great laughs. But, I don't want a reboot. I know that wouldn't be what I really want to see. Because you can't re-create Home Improvement today, it was at the right place and right time in the 90s when there wasn't streaming Internet shows, people still sat around and watched TV shows when they came on. The kids on the show, were kids! Actually, the show went 8 seasons so the kids grew up on the show, too. They became young adults. The show ended and it holds a special place in the hearts of those who enjoyed it. We can go back and watch it now, if we want. Just like nobody wants a live action re-do of any classic movie from the 90s. If it was done right in the 90s, it can't be re-done any better in the 2020s. That's just my opinion, but I think a lot of people share that.

    I have to say right away that this show is one of my all time favorites even when I was a kid. My parents would watch it all the time and plus when you get older you start to see the messages of the show and the background of it more. I really love Patricia and Tim Allen. I think they have what is seen as a typical healthy marriage. I remember watching a behind the scenes and Tim Allen said so himself that him and Patricia had what is seen as a real marriage and it seemed so real for him because of their dynamics and their chemistry. It was awesome for me to watch the show again at my age now and see that even though they both make mistakes they're able to come back together and prove their love to each other. I love the passion between both of them. I think the show is a reminder that marriages are not perfect, but if you truly love the person you will work everything out. I always go back to the show when I think about working with families and the children that I do because I think as we get older we forget what it's like to be a child and having to learn everything from somebody older and superior to us. I think this show is a great example of showing us though as parents you have a very important job and even though it doesn't come with a rule book what you do will rub off on your children and it really makes me wonder how much the 3 boys that they hired for the show learned from them as their TV parents. I almost wanted to say I wish there was a reboot of this show with everybody as an older version like they did with Fuller House.. But I think the show ended in the perfect way.
