Home Improvement - S6E7 Icon: Link

Description: Tim The Tool Man Taylor was a household name when it comes to mid-90's sitcoms. Home Improvement was an incredibly popular show and stayed that way through most of its run. There was something about Tim's bafoonery, Jill's tolerance, and the real life (but elevated) situations that they found themselves in. It was a show that did what all good shows do in that it put people in everyday situations but with just enough of a tweak to keep things light. Tim was an everyman, and every man wanted to watch a reflection of themselves in his childlike joy about horsepower.We had a good time with this one.Next week, Amy works her magic with Bewitched - S3E7!

Description: Dinosaurs ran as part of ABC's TGIF block in the early 90's and was far more successful than it ever would be today.

They were masters of the subversive humor that allowed them to talk about subjects that no one else would be able to get away with, let alone be celebrated for. We had an absolute watching this episode all about a New Leaf, and it wound up with a message that was largely unheard of when it came to shows trying to tackle the tricky subject matter of drugs.
