BREAKING NEWS: Beloved ’90s Sitcom Home Improvement Arrives on Netflix for the First Time.giang

Tim “The Toolman” Taylor and the rest of the Home Improvement gang are headed for Netflix!

All 204 episodes from the hit ’90s sitcom’s eight-season run will be available on the streaming platform for the first time beginning Feb. 1, according to What’s on Netflix. The series, which starred Tim Allen, is the last of 14 Disney-owned shows to join the Netflix library for an 18-month window as part of an agreement with Disney Entertainment, first reported by Deadline in December 2023. As part of the non-exclusive licensing deal, Home Improvement will continue to stream on Disney+ as well.

The show followed Allen’s Tim Taylor’s antics on both his home improvement show Tool Time and at home with his family, consisting of wife Jill (Patricia Richardson) and sons Brad (Zachery Ty Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and Mark (Taran Noah Smith).

During its original run on ABC from 1991 to 1999, Home Improvement was a bona fide hit, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and making major stars of its cast, including Allen, Thomas and Pamela Anderson.

In recent years, Allen, 71, has fueled rumors of a reboot of the series, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2018 that other cast members had told him that it “would be cool to do it years later, like Roseanne.”

Allen even reprised his Home Improvement role on a 2021 episode of his show Last Man Standing, which Taylor and Richardson have both appeared on.

Last year, however, Richardson, 73, who scored four Emmy nominations for her role as Jill, shut down the idea of a Home Improvement revival.

“I’d hear that he was coming out publicly and saying this stuff about how everyone was on board to do a Home Improvement reunion,” she said of Allen on the Back to the Best podcast in April. “But he never asked me, and he never asked Jonathan [Taylor Thomas] who I talk to. So I called Jonathan one day and I said, ‘Has he asked you about this?’ And he went, ‘No. Why is he going around telling everyone that we’re all on board when he hasn’t talked to you or me?’ I think that’s weird.”

“It would be very weird,” she said of a reboot. “It makes me sad to think about it. I think — we did it. We did it well. We quit at the right time before it got really bad. And it should just stay as it is.”

Richardson also noted that neither Smith nor Thomas act anymore, while Bryan, 43, has been arrested repeatedly in recent years. In 2020, the former teen heartthrob was arrested for allegedly strangling his girlfriend, pleading guilty to two domestic violence misdemeanor charges. He was arrested again in 2023 and charged with fourth-degree felony assault as well as third-degree robbery and misdemeanor harassment, again pleading guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree and serving a seven-day jail sentence.

He has been arrested twice in the past year on DUI charges, and on Jan. 1, Bryan was once again arrested on charges of second-degree domestic violence.

Meanwhile Anderson, who appeared in the first two seasons of Home Improvement as Lisa “the Tool Time girl,” alleged in her 2023 memoir Love, Pamela that Allen flashed his penis at her on her first day on set.

“I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe,” Anderson wrote. “He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked.”

Allen has denied the allegation, writing in a statement that “it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”
