Home Improvement: Season 1

My set was missing a disk so happy to have this so I have full season

Home Improvement was on the air at a time when sitcoms were a good source of bread and butter for network television. During its prime, Home Improvement made its share of money for ABC, as the show appealed to a broad audience, from kids to adults.The complete first season of Home Improvement takes us back to the very beginning of the show. We meet Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, the host of a local cable home improvement show, his wife Jill and their three kids. While much of the show dealt with the television show, the prime focus was on the family aspect of Tim's life and how it affected his work and vice versa.Stand-up comedian Tim Allen brought the character of Tim Taylor to life. His observations about everyday life, along with his penchant for getting himself into fine messes, usually involving "more power," made for some interesting situations. While Tim is by no means a stupid guy, he quite often misinterprets advice given to him by his neighbor Wilson, or the meaning of any number of things that his wife says. Somehow he always manages to get everything to work out the way it needs to. If only life were so easy.Patricia Richardson stars as Tim's wife Jill. She is the perfect co-star for Allen. While she can stay in the background as he goes off on his antics, she is also quite capable of stepping into the spotlight with some great jokes of her own. As the only woman in a house full of males, she finds herself constantly outnumbered, but usually manages to get her way.Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith star as the Taylors' three kids. Through the years viewers got to watch the kids grow and got to see how their parents influenced them as they grew up. Looking back, the kids look incredibly young in this very first season. It is amazing just how much older they look at the end of the show. The kids have some great moments, mainly with the older two picking on their younger brother, but the focus of the show is the family, and if the kids do something wrong, the parents are there to try to teach them right from wrong.Richard Karn stars as Al, Tim's assistant and Earl Hindman stars as Wilson. Both characters provide some great supporting parts and it is interesting to see all the ways that the show's powers that be find to hide Wilson face, which is never fully visible. The show also started the career of Pamela Anderson, who was Lisa, the original Tool Time girl.Two of the show's producers provide commentary on a number of episodes, and the commentary is quite interesting and a good addition to the set. This set is worth the purchase for anyone who remembers the good days of television sitcoms.

Home Improvement: Season One started it all. This is the season that Tim souped up his lawn mower, blew up the dishwasher, slipped a snake down his shirt, glued a table to his head, dyed his hands green, and knocked Bob Vila unconsious on his television show "Tool Time." If you want Home Improvement at its best and in its classic state, Season 1 is the way to go.We are introduced to the Taylor family, your typical clan of five, living their lives like the rest of Americans in the 1990's, but the Taylors are anything but normal. There is Tim, the man of the house, ruling his family to the best of his ability but losing to his wife, Jill. Tim's grunts and quest for power lead to visits from the fire department and journeys to the hospital. If you enjoy seeing things get blown up, Home Improvement is the show for you! If you enjoy drama, Home Improvement is the the show for you. Jill Taylor, dedicated wife of Tim, attempts to restore order to the manly household, but Tim and their three boys will always make a comeback with something even more troubling than before. Tim is always trying to outdo the most powerful tools with more power.And when he screws up, Tim can always go to the fence in his back yard and talk to his neighbor Wilson who has something to say for any problem, helping Tim to get back on track only to screw up again another day.You cannot forget Al, Tim's assistant on his daytime television show "Tool Time," and his endless wardrobe of flannel. Tim always has something to say ABOUT Al, whether it is in front of him or not, and Al always has something to say to Tim: "I don't think so, Tim."So come on into the living room, pop Home Improvement: Season 1 into the DVD player and enjoy a series that will NEVER fail to make you laugh. Whether it is Tim screwing up a project or powering up his lawnmower. If it is Wilson's wise, but strange advice, or Al's professionalism that make you laugh, then the job is done and you will be sucked in. Keep watching and you will realize that there is no other show that will take you where Home Improvement does.

This is for all the seasons not just season 1. I love this show it brings me back to my childhood where my parents and my brothers and sisters would sit around and watch this show. I also think it was an amazing show.

I have to admit that I caught this show quite late when it aired, but of the episodes I saw, I loved it from the start. Based on comic Tim Allen's stand up material, this show basically has everything, including endless laughs. I found the second season in a trade in store for a fiver and so, it's the first one I got, I now have season 2-5, but I will be getting the first, sixth, even seventh and final seasons soon. Just the price that stops me from getting in one go.I love the family set up, the three boys are such great characters in their own right, Brad, eldest, most similar to his dad and a sports jock who never gives in, Randy, the middle one who is the more artistic among them and the wittiest, always with cracking one liners which outdo his own dad, and Mark, the youngest, and most sensitive and closer probably to his mum, but always picked on by his older brothers. Wilson, their wise older neighbour is a great character too and has proven very popular, and of course, Al, Tim's long suffering assistant on his Tool Time show, wonderfully played by Richard Karn. I will get the first season soon, but it will feel strange, since I got season 2 first, but it won't feel complete without it and as for the last season, will be intriguing to see how they did end it, because I never got the chance to see it.I totally go along with all reviews that say you can watch it time and time again, and still have a laugh, I've seen it all through a few times on dvd, and it never fails to double me over with giggles, especially when you don't see it for a while. A comedy classic.

I wanted to share some old TV memories with my daughter and to help her with her own DIY projects....hence the DVD. Great value and great service.

Delighted to have got this (DVD) set, as I enjoyed so much watching it on TV !! - arrived promptly, in excellent condition - would fully recommend seller !!

This is one of the funniest comedies of all time a cross between Roseanne and Cheers/Frasier.It follows the Taylor family, Tim and Jill Taylor and their three boys.Tim has a cable show called "Tool time" a home improvement show, hence the title.There is the neighbour Wilson a mentor for the family, and Al Tim's assistant on the show. The children are hilarious and the show really is well observed.There really is something for everyone including a small part for Pamela Anderson

Love it fast delivery as well
