While the Taylors were a big, (mostly) happy family in the '90s sitcom,Home Improvement, there were problems behind the scenes, particularly a large pay gap between Jill actress Patricia Richardson and her co-star, Tim Allen. Running for eight seasons, the sitcomsaw Tim "The Toolman" Taylor (Allen) balancing hosting his home improvement show, Tool Time with his hectic family life. Set against the backdrop of a suburban neighborhood, it resonated with many middle-class viewers, who saw themselves in the characters and their relatable storylines. The show also made a huge star out of Randy Taylor actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Could Home Improvement return? Here’s why a Tim Taylor revival might just happen.

Home Improvement star Patricia Richardson shares her candid thoughts about why the sitcom isn't as well-ed today, taking a swipe at Full House in the process. Debuting on ABC in 1991 and lasting until 1999 for a total of eight seasons and 204 episodes, the sitcom centered on the Taylor family led by Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) and his wife Jill (Richardson). The series was popular during its run to the point that Allen and Richardson were offered $50 million and $25 million, respectively, to do a ninth season.

Actor Patricia Richardson candidly explains why Home Improvement really ended after eight seasons. Premiering in 1991, the sitcom starred Tim Allen as Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, a home improvement television show host. Richardson starred as Jill, his loving wife and mom to three mischievous boys, Brad, Randy, and Mark (Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith). The show aired for eight seasons on ABC, earning 7 Primetime Emmy Awards, and a loyal audience following.

Home Improvement star Patricia Richardson responds candidly to Tim Allen's comments about a possible revival. Richardson and Allen portrayed the married couple, Jill and Tim Taylor, respectively, in the 1991 sitcom. The show follows Tim, who runs a successful home-improvement show but struggles to balance work with marriage and helping Jill raise their three young sons. Fortunately, the pair gets help through advice from their next-door neighbor, Wilson (Earl Hindman). While the popular series ended nearly 25 years ago, Allen recently suggested a spinoff or reboot was possible. However, Richardson has now challenged Allen's claims.

Home Improvement star Tim Allen addresses a possible reboot of the show, revealing that he has ideas for it. Debuting on ABC in 1991 and lasting until 1999, for a total of eight seasons and 204 episodes, the sitcom centered around the Taylor family and gave a particular focus to Tim Taylor (Allen) and his wife Jill (Patricia Richardson). The series was immensely popular during its run to the point that Allen and Richardson were offered $50 million and $25 million, respectively, to do a ninth season. They declined, which led to Home Improvement coming to an end.

A recurring gag on Home Improvement is that Taylor's friendly neighbor Wilson's face is never shown fully, but here's the real reason why Wilson hid his face. Tim Allen had few acting credits to his name before Home Improvement. It was thanks to the success of Allen's stand-up special Men Are Pigs that ABC became interested in developing a sitcom tailored to him. After turning down TV adaptations of Dead Poets Society and Turner & Hooch, the concept of Home Improvement was born. This cast Allen as Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, the host of a DIY series called Tool Time.
