Skykotik: If only I knew who Tim Taylor was. Sadly, I don't watch DIY shows :-(
DanieLoony: ...Home Improvement?
DanieLoony: Tim the Tool Man Taylor?
Skykotik: Never heard of him :D
DanieLoony: With his assistant Al?
DanieLoony: ...
DanieLoony: You have GOT to be kidding me.
Skykotik: Nope :-)
DanieLoony: *shakes his head*
Skykotik: ...I think you've been spending too much time with Unne.
DanieLoony: Maybe they never screened it in the UK. That is so sad if that's the case.

I can't believe Psy has never heard of it. Please, someone from the UK, tell me they showed it over here. I can't believe how much crap TV you guys have to put up with and yet this isn't even a known program?

I miss Home Improvement now. :(

They did show it in Norway, so there's a big chance they did it in the UK. The neighbour is obviously the superior character :freak:

I missed the only episode Wilson showed his face in. >:O

I love that show though, we hardly get re-runs anymore.

I've seen it, many an episode.

They used to show it on Channel 4, 6pm, every night many a moon ago.

He's kidna ugly actually, lol. Yeah, it's a shame if they never showed it over there, brilliance i say!!!

btw... did you know there was a fan site that spliced together pieces of his face from different scenes, and managed to come up with a nearly complete view? (still a spot on his nose or something they NEVER showed once) lol

I think they show Home Improvement on the Disney Channel at about 10pm or something. I do remember it though.

That show was great. I remember the time he launched a grill way out there like a rocket. Priceless.

they did show it in the uk mostly on the disney channel, had a brief stint on channel 4 before they realised it was crap.

Technically, if it was crap, British television would have put it on during peak hours on one of the main five free-to-air channels. That seems to be the general strategy. Most Brits actually agree with me on that, last I checked.

your right it was, but as it wasn't homemade rubbish they didn't continue showing it.

I guess it's a matter of opinion but I still don't see how anyone could not like Home Improvement. It was great on so many levels.

Your wrong, they only put crap stuff on when you are not going out, do you not know sods law?

Edit: Channel 4/5 early hours there is a showing sometime

It is still showing every night at 10pm on the Disney Channel. Don't like too much though it's quite annoying

I've heard of it BoB! I used to watch it occasionally. Pretty funny show. ^_^ I'm sure it was either on C4, or I watched it on my friend's Sky channel..
