Description
After eight unforgettable years of sidesplitting laughs, heartwarming family moments and the never-ending quest for "More Power," one of the most popular shows in the history of television bids a final farewell. Relive some of the Taylors' most memorable episodes in HOME IMPROVEMENT's remarkable eighth season. Randy and Brad set off on their own paths, Tim quits his job at "Tool Time" and the family makes the ultimate decision to move from their beloved home. Experience all 28 episodes of this Golden Globe(R) and Emmy(R) award-winning sitcom in this spectacular 4-disc DVD set. The show's final season ratchets up the star power with a host of sensational guest stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Fairchild and Mario Andretti. On top of that, don't miss the exclusive DVD bonus features -- all-new bloopers, and the hilarious live reunion special, TIM ALLEN'S USER'S GUIDE TO HOME IMPROVEMENT. It's the perfect way to say goodbye to an all-time TV classic. 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
