Throwback Thursday

I have a huge paper due at Midnight tomorrow - well not really huge, just important - so I'm just going to get right to the Throwback Thursday (today's Thursday, right?) Today's Throwback will be to the always entertaining Tim Taylor and Tooltime - aka Home Improvement.

Home Improvement Cast

This show was always funny - even on the serious episodes - there was still some really really funny parts. It never failed in making me laugh. I love it - still. The cast - what a great cast, too. Tim Allen (who is a comedic genius in his own, I think) plays Tim Taylor - the "father" in the family. He is also a TV host on a Home improvement show. Which is the back-line to the show's story-line. The show is called Tool time - Ale Boreland, the Husky gentleman that always wears plaid, played by Richard Karn, is the "side-kick" and assistant to Tim Taylor. Tim is the charismatic, yet extremely clumsy host, while Ale - the assistant is the one that is always watching out for safety issues and appears to know more than Tim about home improvement, tools, and just about anything relating to the show, which sets up a very entertaining and hilarious opposition, at all times.  (And they had Hidie - the "other assistant" - once played by Pamela Anderson, then the part was taken over by Debbie Dunning, a gorgeous brunette instead of blonde. And often times had Bob Villa as a special guest.)















Tim was married to the always witty and sarcastic, Jill Taylor, played by Patricia Richardson and Tim and Jill had three boys - Brad, Randy, and Mark (played by Zachary Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Tarran Noah Smith).  I had one of my first TV Star crushes on Randy. Man. I remember having the biggest crush on him. Coincidentally, it was the episode where Randy learns that he might have cancer that was one of the first TV shows that I remember crying during, and the one that Randy goes to Costa Rica for a year.

 (the video quality sucks, so just listen to it.)

And the neighbor - Wilson Wilson, Jr. - whose face we never see below his eyes. Usually there's a fence that covers the rest, but always something hiding it.

It was a great show. Always funny and always true. Instilled my love for Tim Allen (will always be a T.A. fan) and Jonathan Taylor Thomas fan - of course. Now I gotta get to work on the literature review.
Tune in tomorrow for Flashback Friday!
