This is simply the best sitcom ever. It is wholesome without being corny (I'm looking at you, Full House). Funny without being inappropriate for kids. I watch this every Friday night with my kids and they love it. Nothing compares.

Tim allen was then and is now the typical open mouth insert foot husband. He was hilarious both as a not so know it all tool man, and as the hapless family man. I recommend to all. This show really was the last of its kind. Dont make family comedies like this anymore.

If your from Michigan then you know who Tim Allen is. Which makes this sitcom a real classic. I use to watch this sitcom every time it was on TV and loved it so. This was a show that you wish would neverhave ended like Hogan Heroes.if youpass this up then......well you have to be dead. Lol
