It’s been 30 years since the beloved sitcom “Home Improvement” first aired on ABC. The show, which ran for eight seasons from 1991 to 1999, starred Tim Allen as Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor, the accident-prone host of a home improvement TV show.
The show also starred Patricia Richardson as Tim’s wife, Jill, and their three sons, Brad, Randy, and Mark, played by Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Taran Noah Smith, respectively. Richard Karn, Debbe Dunning, and Earl Hindman rounded out the cast as Tim’s co-host and neighbors.
