End of the series The series ended after eight seasons in 1999. The two refused the offer and, as a result, the series came to an end. 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 set it apart from other comedies of its time, and it came to an end in 1999 after eight seasons. The series was still garnering good numbers when it ended, and Allen and Richardson were offered huge payouts to commit to another series.Creative fatigue and the desire to move on to other projects convinced them that it was time to put an end to it. Technically, it wouldn't be until the last episode of Home Improvement, a retrospective called Backstage Pass, that we would have a full view of Wilson. For eight seasons, Home Improvement was one of the most watched series on television, remaining in the Top 10 for its entire duration, not only because of how good the series was, but also because of how popular Tim Allen was becoming outside of it. Despite the years that have passed, the episode showed that Tim's skills as handymen have not improved much and, true to his nature, he gives the shredder too much power and breaks it even more so.
In an interview with The Wrap, the showrunner of Last Man Standing, Kevin Abbott, revealed that it was difficult for Fox to get permission from Disney to use Home Improvement, which showed Wilson's face in the finale, Tim for the episode, and that Allen himself was very protective of the character. Last Man Standing wasn't afraid to make references to Home Improvement during its broadcast, including appearances by co-stars such as Richardson or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Home Improvement came to an end on May 25, 1999, with the last episode of a three-episode finale (the second part being little more than a series of clips) over the last two weeks entitled The Long and Winding Road. He reveals that he hosted Tool Time, referred to 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.
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 provided an update on what Tim The Tool Man Taylor from Home Improvement has been doing since this last series ended. The last season of Last Man Standing featured a cross with Home Improvement, with Tim Allen repeating Tim Taylor; here's what he's been doing. Long before Property Brothers and Home Town became must-see movies for Reno fans, Home appeared Improvement.
When Home Improvement premiered on ABC on September 17, 1991, audiences were immediately connected to Allen's antics as Tim The Toolman Taylor, a man from the Detroit area with his own home improvement show called Tool Time. 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. To this day, Patricia Richardson worries that Tim Allen never forgave her for leaving Home Improvement.
