Let's peak over the fence like Mr. Wilson at the dark secrets of the cast of Home Improvement. After the awkward encounter, the camera cuts to a towel-clad Tim profusely apologizing and Nancy doing much the same. Tim again addresses the obvious, saying he thought his wife was in the shower and jokingly suggesting a sign-in sheet for the bathroom. Nancy says she shouldn't have used the master bathroom and explains that Jill had told her Randy was using the house's other bathroom. In the episode in question, "Home Improvement" Season 4, Episode 19 ("The Naked Truth"),Tim's brother Marty Taylor (William O'Leary) and sister-in-law Nancy visit the family while traveling for a job interview. Of course, both Tim and Jill are excited to see their relatives and quickly invite them to stay with them.
Tim Allen was offered $50 million to return, but he refused to do the show without Richardson. "This is a kind of decision that at some point you will regret," Richardson said. But while the show won audiences over week after week, behind the scenes, things weren't as always rosy as they appeared.

In later seasons, a running joke developed in which more and more creative means were used to prevent Wilson's face below the eyes from ever being seen by the audience. Also, in later seasons, Wilson's full name was revealed to be Wilson W. Wilson, Jr. Beginning in season 2, Home Improvement began each episode with a cold open, which features the show's logo during the teaser. From season 4 until the end of the series in 1999, an anthropomorphic version of the logo was used in different types of animation.
However, Smith eventually rekindled his relationship with his mother, and in 2016, the two wrote a book together to help other families navigate the often precarious entertainment business. In an interview with HNGN to promote the book, Smith seems genuinely remorseful about his rougher years and acknowledges the unhealthy nature of his marriage to Van Pelt. Of the three child stars on Home Improvement, no one suffered the pitfalls of early fame more than Taran Noah Smith, who played Mark, the youngest of Tim Allen's on-screen sons. In 2001, Smith ran away from home at the age of 17 and began a series of legal battles against his parents to gain control of his $1.5 million trust fund, according to People.
Casting changes
A few years later, Tim Allen and Jonathan Taylor Thomas would show that they officially buried the hatchet after Thomas appeared on a much-publicized episode of Last Man Standing. Patricia Richardson would later appear on the show in 2016, which only further fueled rumors of a Home Improvement reunion down the road. And with Last Man Standing's cancellation in 2017, a revival a la Fuller House could be just the project Allen's looking for to add "more power."
There was the time that Tim was throwing potatoes around at the male crew members and hit a female camerawoman in the face, so that became kind of a joke. The daily trials and tribulations of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, a television show host raising three mischievous boys with help from his loyal co-host, loving wife, and eccentric neighbor. Karn guest starred in two episodes of Tim Allen's 2010s ABC/Fox sitcom Last Man Standing in 2013. Thomas has also appeared on Last Man Standing, and has directed episodes of the series. Episodes of Home Improvement were not aired in order of their production code number or original airdate.
Production
Tool Time was conceived as a parody of the PBS home-improvement show This Old House. Tim and Al are caricatures of the two principal cast members of This Old House, host Bob Vila and master carpenter Norm Abram. Al Borland has a beard and always wears plaid shirts when taping an episode, reflecting Norm Abram's appearance on This Old House. Bob Vila appeared as a guest star on several episodes of Home Improvement, while Tim Allen and Pamela Anderson both appeared on Bob Vila's show Home Again.
Such play happened especially throughout the first three seasons, and it was revisited only occasionally until Jonathan Taylor Thomas left at the beginning of the eighth season. During the show's final season, Brad and Mark became much closer due to Randy's absence. Home Improvement is an American television sitcom starring Tim Allen that aired on ABC from September 17, 1991 to May 25, 1999 with a total of 204 half-hour episodes spanning eight seasons.

Stephen Tobolowsky was tapped to play the Tool Time co-host, Glen. However, he was still busy with a movie that was in the middle of production at the time the first pilot was to be shot. Therefore, the producers set out to cast an alternate character that would stand in as Tim's co-host for the pilot, or for however many episodes were required until Tobolowsky was available. The casting department auditioned Richard Karn, for what would be his first major appearance on a TV sitcom; the character of Al Borland was created from there. After the first few episodes completed with Patricia Richardson as Jill, Tobolowsky was still tied up with his other commitments, and Karn found himself in his role permanently when Tobolowsky decided he would have no time to do a series.
The syndication version of the episode "I Was a Teenage Taylor" [6.7] contains a scene previously unincluded in the primetime version in which Tim brings his Halloween guy to the Tool Time set. Richardson was offered $25 million to do a ninth season; Allen was offered double that. The two declined, and Home Improvement ended after eight seasons and 203 episodes.
"Jordan made a big thing about wanting to go out on top and Home Improvement was the number one show on ABC when we left." In 1978, Tim Allen was arrested at a Michigan airport for possession of 650 grams of cocaine, according to CBS News. He was reportedly a well-known dealer at the time, which made him an easy target for an undercover sting operation. Despite turning informant, Allen would spend two years and four months in federal prison, which encouraged him to clean up his life and focus on his burgeoning stand-up comedy career that would ultimately land him on Home Improvement. Needless to say at this point, "Home Improvement" is looked back on by many as a revered accomplishment in the world of television.
The series was created by Matt Williams, Carmen Finestra, and David McFadzean. Despite not being a favorite with critics, it was one of the most watched sitcoms in the United States during the 1990s, winning many awards. The series launched Allen's acting career and was the start of the television career of Pamela Anderson, who was part of the recurring cast for the first two seasons. In the show's eighth and final season, the middle child Randy left for an environmental study program in Costa Rica in the episode "Adios", which aired on September 29, 1998. This was done because Jonathan Taylor Thomas reportedly wanted to take time off to focus on his academics. His last appearance on Home Improvement was the eighth season Christmas episode "Home for the Holidays", which aired on December 8, 1998.
When their spouses find out about the incident, Marty is upset, at which point Tim makes things worse by asking if he'd feel better if he saw Jill without her clothes on. Though Marty appears to consider the option, Jill and Nancy are both understandably appalled at the suggestion. At the end of the day, all four involved parties agree that the incident was an accident and do their best to forget about it (though Tim appears just a little too eager to claim he's already forgotten what he saw).
