The best DIY home improvement TV show

Home Improvement (203 episodes, 1991-1999)



What a great show! Even Pamela Anderson had a guest appearance. Starring Tim Allen as the useless show host Tim Taylor and his macho sidekick Al Borland (Richard Karn).

Al: I think one of these days, you're going to run out of flannel jokes.

Tim: I don't think so, Al. Not with my "Complete Flannel Joke Book".

[Tim pulls out a heavy dictionary-sized hardcover book labelled "The Complete Flannel Joke
Book" from behind a prop and opens it]

Tim: "Why did the flannel cross the road? 'Cause Al was over there!" "Oh waiter, there's a fly in
my flannel!" "Please... take my flannel!"

[Al snatches the book from Tim]

Tim: Then there's your handy wallet-sized version!

[Tim pulls a tiny hardcover book of the same color out of his pocket]

Tim: "How do you keep an idiot wearing flannel in suspense?"

[Al snatches the second book]

Tim: See you tomorrow!

The first 3 years where the most funny, after that lot's of hard-core Home Improvement fans complaint that the quality of the writing suffered. Anyway.. it's a great show for anyone with a bit of DIY in his (and her) blood.
