Home Improvement: The Complete Eighth Season (1991)

Tim "The Toolman" Taylor--vers. 8.0

This is Tim "The Toolman" Taylor, version 8.0, or at least the Complete Eighth & Final Season. Good wholesome American humor. The Taylor clan (read:cast) are legitimately funny. Definition of Family Entertainment: Home Improvement, the television series! Some minor disfunctionality (sic) in the beginning when Tim's brother moves in, but this is offset by some very memorable episodes! Long Live The Toolman! July 1, 2008

Home Improvement - great t.v. series

We have all the other seasons, and it wouldn't be complete without this one. We watch them over and over and laugh at the same spots every time. Good family t.v. show. June 30, 2008

What a classic show.

One of my all time favorite shows, it is too bad it did not last a few more years, I can never get tired of this show, it was funny when Brad hurt his knee and we saw him with a brace on his LEFT knee on one episode and a few more episodes later it shows Brad with a bandage RIGHT knee. I agree that some of the episodes were not as funny but it does not matter, all the bonus materials make up for this. June 24, 2008

Just finished watching this today......

All I can say is well done; Buena Vista Home Entertainment. They really did justice to this series; by adding extras to the DVD sets and this volume is no different. It has blooper reels; and also includes the "Backstage Pass" episode that ran right after the series finale on ABC. I remember this because it showed Wilson's (Earl Hindman) entire face in the cast introductions after the series finale ended. During the series run in the cast intro's in front of the studio audience; Wilson would come out holding a small prop of a fence on the lower part of his face and as everyone knows this was a running gag throughout the series.

It also includes the 2003 special; "Tim Allen Presents: A Users Guide to Home Improvement". I think I saw this on PBS a few years ago. It Has Tim, Al, Heidi and Rock (Casey Sander) in front of a live studio audience. Earl Hindman (Wilson) narrates the show; but is not seen except in film footage played throughout the show. It's live action and footage of funny moments throughout the series. But it's nice that they included it in this DVD set.

So if you are looking for family oriented entertainment and have not bought this yet; go ahead and do so; it's a great set and a nice way to end this wonderful series. I wish there were more shows on TV just like this one. June 23, 2008

Saying Goodbye Is Hard

I've watched the season finale twice today. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly nine years since this show ended. I raised my kids on Home Improvement. It was a great family time show--not like the crap that airs on free t.v. today. There were family values, lots of laughter, and healthy relationships. It was about building bonds, building strong character, and laughter--lots of laughter. In season 8, what made Home Improvement so special doesn't always come across but there are several great episodes in this season, the finale being one of them. June 19, 2008
