She said that Allen refused to do a show without her and rejected a proposal to continue Home Improvement with the death of Jill's character. As a result, the series ended in 1999. Allen enjoyed cinematic success, playing the voice of Buzz Lightyear for the Toy Story movies.
Home Improvement
became one of the most important comedies of the decade and helped Allen star in films such as The Santa Clause or Toy Story. Home Improvement had a warmth that differentiated it from other comedies of its time, and it came to an end in 1999 after eight seasons.The series was still garnering big numbers when it ended, and Allen and Richardson were offered huge payments to commit to another series. Creative fatigue and the desire to move on to other projects convinced them that it was time to finish it. Jonathan Taylor played Randy Taylor in Home Improvement for seven seasons, but here's why he left the series and didn't appear in the final. Of course, this was after Jonathan Taylor Thomas decided to leave Home Improvement for the last season and didn't even bother to return for the series finale.
Home Improvement debuted on ABC in 1991 and became one of the most important comedies of the decade. Home Improvement also gave Allen a film career, and he starred in Toy Story and The Santa Clause, which will have a television sequel, while doing the comedy. However, Jonathan Taylor Thomas' refusal to return for the Home Improvement finale caused some tension between him and the cast. Although he is now a veteran of the big and small screen, when Home Improvement debuted on ABC in 1991, Tim Allen had few credits.
Off-screen, Taylor revealed that she wanted to focus on college and education, and the workload of Home Improvement wouldn't have allowed it. The comedy was based on Allen's stand-up and cast him as Tim Taylor, host of a home improvement series called Tool Time alongside assistant Al and, in the first two seasons, Lisa by Pamela Anderson. Of course, he also did some movies after Home Improvement, but he never reached the level of success he could easily have had. Last Man Standing wasn't afraid to make references to Home Improvement throughout his career, including appearances by co-stars such as Richardson or Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
He reveals that he hosted Tool Time, referenced by Allen's Toy Story, for eight years, but decided to end it when he couldn't think of ways to continue overcoming what he had already done, reflecting the reason Allen ended Home Improvement. Despite the years that have passed, the episode proved that Tim's abilities as handymen haven't improved much and, true to his nature, he gives the elimination unit too much power and breaks it even more. It was announced that Thomas would leave Home Improvement, which showed Wilson's face at the end of the seventh season, and Randy left the series during the second episode of the eighth season, when he and his girlfriend went to Costa Rica to attend a school program. Last Man Standing provided an update on what Tim The Tool Man Taylor from Home Improvement has been doing since this last series ended.
Although he just finished Last Man Standing, he will continue to be best known for his role as Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor in Home Improvement. In an interview with The Wrap, the showrunner of Last Man Standing, Kevin Abbott, revealed that Fox had difficulty getting permission from Disney to use the Tim from Home Improvement, which showed Wilson's face at the end, for the episode, and that Allen himself was very protector with the character.
