DVD Review: That's a Wrap
Summary: 5 Stars
How very pleasant to be reminded of all those excellent reasons for watching Tim Allen's "Home Improvement" series, of which this collection was the final season. Among said good reasons are to appreciate rather witty, character-focused writing, a focus on an intact, affectionate and reasonably well-adjusted family, the occasional hilarious physical pratfall... and I always rather liked the clever scene transitions. They were small, throw-away bits, but still. It said worlds about this show that such care and creativity were taken with such a relatively minor detail.
Having said that, it was also a little jarring to see how much the boys had grown, from season one to season eight; but of course it was eight years. The bright eleven-year old and the father-adoring pre-schooler will have become respectively a college-freshman and a middle-school student by the end of it all. And I think they had worked out every possible and impossible means of hiding half of neighbor Wilson's face under every circumstance. But not Tim the Toolman's ability to demolish household appliances and gadgets of every description; that, like Wily Coyote's genius for creative destruction, was a well that never went dry, as proved in the bonus feature "The Home Improvement Users' Guide". One sequence of that reunion special featured a series of exploding BBQ grills, souped-up dishwashers and revolving Christmas trees throwing off sparks and clouds of smoke... it was so hilarious we played it back a couple of times, laughing ourselves to tears each time. All in all, a series which has stood up very well, especially in comparison to the current crop of situation comedies on the broadcast networks.

This is the last one in the series, what a shame, the show went out on a high and the extras are great, 3 years after filming stopped Tim Allen and a few of the cast get together for a good time amd remember episodes that made them laugh and cry, wish it was still in production, a special with all the cast would be great, maybe in the future.DVD Review: A great series
Summary: 5 Stars
Home Improvement is one of my all-time favorite television series. It has humor, family values, good friends, and some excellent stars. Over the years they have become almost like friends. These are excellent transfers, and I recommend them.DVD Review: men world
Summary: 5 Stars
cool family fun episodes. Tim Allen is great at it, and all the rest as well, from his wife to his kids, and his neighbour with the hidden face. You also always learn from each story a small lesson about life, and dealing with many sorts of situations, thanks to the neighbour with the secret face :)
Description of Home Improvement: The Complete Eighth Season
UPC:786936740738DESCRIPTION: Home Improvement is a sitcom about Tim Taylor (Tim Allen), the accident prone host of a television program about tools - Tool Time. Tim raises three mischievous boys (Brad, Randy, and Mark) with his wife, Jill. Wilson is the Taylor s partially-seen neighbor who gives insightful advice to help the family. Al Borland is Tim's responsible, caring and flannel-wearing co-host on Tool Time. END
In its eighth and final season, classic sitcom Home Improvement holds up pretty well. Sure, plenty of recurring bits have gone stale--one imagines that star Tim Allen is looking forward to the day when he'll never have to grunt again, and hiding the face of neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman) seems more like an obligatory chore than an entertaining game--but when the show focuses on the sitcom bedrock of marriage and family, it's not only still funny but sometimes even moving. The centerpiece of the whole season is a two-part episode that starts with an abundance of jokes about Tim's discomfort with female biology--then takes a jolting turn with the revelation that Jill (Patricia Richardson) has to get a hysterectomy. What follows is both comic and refreshingly honest as it captures Jill's anger and frustration, as well as a quietly touching portrait of how spouses support each other in times of trouble. Polly Holiday (Flo on Alice) boosts this episode with a strong appearance as Jill's mother.
The rest of the season goes up and down, suffering from some pointless celebrity appearances (Morgan Fairchild, Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey, magicians Penn & Teller) and stunt-casting (Playboy playmate Jenny McCarthy as a mechanic Tim flirts with), and the departure of Jonathan Taylor Thomas (whose teen heartthrob career never quite launched) throws off the long-established family dynamic. But even otherwise rote episodes have satisfyingly funny moments (in a Halloween episode, there's a nice bit of slapstick when Tim, dressed as a flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz, can't get his wings through a doorway). The comfortable interplay among the seasoned cast ensures that longtime fans will find much to enjoy. The extras include some brief interviews, a blooper reel, and a retrospective special. --Bret Fetzer
