10 Reasons Why Home Improvement Will Always Be Iconic

Tim never gets Wilson's advice right.

10 Reasons Why Home Improvement Will Always Be Iconic
Huffington Post

If you have never seen the show "Home Improvement," then you have been done a great deal of injustice. It's one of my favorite tv shows of all time. I personally believe it's Tim Allen's best performance besides his movies. I must admit that I did have a crush on a young Jonathon Taylor Thomas but honestly what person wouldn't? My dad and mom love this show, and they don't enjoy many tv shows. This show will always be tv gold for me.

1. Tim never gets Wilson's advice right, and it's hilarious.


But he gets it right when it counts. He might come off as a guy who is goofy and not exactly bright (no offense), but he understands and communicates in his own way.

2. Tim and Al's dynamic on Tool Time sometimes makes you wonder how the show still runs.

I realized that it's about the yin and the yang, balancing each other out. Tim, with his jokes and knowledge of tools, and Al, with his "I don't think so, Tim" and patience, more or less, balance each other out.

3. The boys' relationship is one that anyone with siblings can relate to.

They are the "no one can mess with my siblings but me" type. In the gif, the guy in the flannel was picking on Mark, so Brad and Randy come over to defend him. Yet any other time, you will see the boys playing pranks on each other and teaming up to play pranks on Tim.

4. Tim's relationship with each of the boys is different and special.

With Brad, it's about bonding over cars, tools, ad the like. With Randy, it's about bonding over being pranksters and jokers. With Mark, it's about bonding over being the youngest and teaming up together against Brad and Randy.

5. Tim and Jill are true #relationshipgoals.

While most of the time it's Tim apologizing, there are episodes where Jill messes up and apologizes. They don't give up on each other and are there for each other when life gets tough. Each episode you can see how much they love and care for each other. The show always shows what marriage is actually like: fights, drama, little things, boring.

6. They all support each other.

In this episode, Jill had to write a speech for the library and was having a hard time with it. So Mark and Tim dress up as women [from the library] to help ease Jill's anxiety over it.

7. Gender stereotypes are broken.

It was common the 90's for women to take care of the house and family while the men went out and made the money. But this show breaks that gender role and many others.

8. Tim's attempts to be Mr. Mom.

Tim, the human form of masculinity itself, is attempting to step into the role of mom to help the boys learn manners at the dinner table. The role reversal is hilarious and shows that husbands and wives have to share the roles of the parent and of the house equally.

9. The signature grunt.

10. This scene that all 90's kids should understand.

For those who don't know, Jonathon Taylor Thomas (actor above) played Simba in "The Lion King".

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
