The episodes were only 30 minutes long, but in this short time the writers managed to pack each episode with several stories and many jokes. At the center of the series is the family of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, brilliantly portrayed by Tim Allen.

Why The Tool, you may ask? Well, the thing is that Tim is a salesman and a TV host. Each episode of the show has Tim's own Binford-sponsored home improvement show, called Tool Time.

The man just loves everything about cars, tools, toys, garages, whatever, and he is a perfect handyman himself, however it’s his unique inventions that often cause troubles…

Tim and his caring wife Jil have three sons: Brad, Randy and Mark. And boy they are a handful, always getting in every sorts of troubles. The show also introduces us to Tim’s best friend and co-host Al Borland, and the eccentric neighbor Wilson.

Many fans claim that the show is perfect for the viewers of any age.

“Watched it as a kid and related well to the kids. Started watching it again in the last year and relate much more to the parents now. Great family sitcom though. Haven’t really noticed much that didn’t age well other than the usual technology things,” Redditor TyHay822 said.

Well, if you feel like giving the legendary show a try, all seasons of Home Improvement are available to stream on Hulu.
