Eight Seasons with the Taylor Family

Home Improvement is based on the stand-up comedy of Tim Allen and is set in suburban Detroit. Tim hosts Tool Time, a Binford-sponsored home repair show that parodies This Old House, while his co-host Al Borland, played by Richard Karn, helps keep the show on track.

At home, Tim and his wife Jill, played by Patricia Richardson, raise three sons: Brad, Randy and Mark. Their neighbor Wilson, played by Earl Hindman, offers advice over the backyard fence, and his face is almost never fully shown.

The show was produced by Wind Dancer Productions and Touchstone Television and taped at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. It was ABC's top sitcom for most of its run and reached No. 2 in the ratings in the 1993-94 season.

Home Improvement 20th Anniversary Complete Collection: Bonus Features

• Three audio commentaries on season 1 episodes with creators Carmen Finestra and David McFadzean
• Blooper reels for every season except season 3
• A retrospective hosted by Tim Allen and Richard Karn, carried over from the season 8 set
