Buzz Lightyear the spaceman for whom Alan famously provided the voice in Toy Story Aaron tried his best to put the young cast members at ease it turns out that Alan has a kind heart the ever grunting star would intentionally butcher his lines while filming during the show's early years in order to make his on-screen children Taryn Noah Smith Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Zachary Ty Bryan feel less concerned about mumbling their lines initially kept his apartment manager job Karen was only supposed to appear in four episodes of Home Improvement as Tim's Tool Time partner Al as a result the actor decided to continue working as an apartment manager while filming the series it was only after his planned replacement Steve tobolowski backed out that Karn said goodbye to his previous job for good the original Wilson pulled out Wilson's face being hidden throughout the entirety of Home Improvement is what made the character so iconic but the man chosen to play Tim's neighbor didn't enjoy this running gag John Bedford Lloyd ultimately rejected the role after learning his face would never be shown and men benefited from Lloyd's decision two of the kids rode a pilot together Richardson revealed some interesting news in 2016 when she took to Reddit for an ask me anything thread the actress revealed that two of her on-screen sons have been working together again as writers of an R-rated pilot but with nothing emerging sense it doesn't seem as though Taylor Thomas and Ty Bryan's efforts paid off there's a Last Man Standing crossover and made sure to end the final season of his

series titled Master of Ceremonies which is set in the 1980s and is based on David Henry starry's autobiography with the same title a traffic violation helped Karn get the part Karen learned the hard way that crime does pay he got a traffic violation which eventually led to him Landing the role of Tim's best friend Ale on the show Home Improvement here's how it all happened Karen ran a stop sign in LA and had to go to traffic school as punishment it was there he met an agent who told him about auditions for Home Improvement and as they say the rest is history Allen's clothes came from colleges although Home Improvement was one of the most popular family sitcoms in the 90s its leading man wasn't against saving money when he could in fact some of Allen's wardrobe was provided to him free by colleges in his home state of Michigan Noah Smith sued his parents behind the scenes Noah Smith who played Tim and Jill's youngest son Mark was battling his own parents the 17 year old even took his mom and popped to court so that he could get his hands on his trust fund Smith claimed you see that his folks were frittering away the one and a half million dollars he'd made on the show he eventually took back control of his earnings when he turned 18. the infamous scenes scene almost canceled Home Improvement off the air the fifth season episode about Randy's cancer scare ended up being one of the highest rated in Home Improvement history ABC had its way though the longest day may never have made it to air initially the network bigwigs were reluctant for the show to tackle such a big issue they also hope that moving the episode to a different time slot would stop it from completely bombing in the ratings well guess the plan worked the show was originally going to be called Hammer Time the name Home Improvement was first intended to be known as Hammer Time according to a vulture interview with Bill Albert yeah that's a reference to MC Hammer from the early 90s fortunately however the producers decided against naming the show something that would have been instantly dated even before it aired Allen served time for attempted drug dealing in addition to the cast's rampant use of profanity another aspect that threatened home improvement's family-friendly image was when its leading man got arrested for a drug trafficking in the 1970s we're just as surprised as you are Allen served almost two and a half years in prison because of his crime though he could have been incarcerated for much longer if he hadn't made a deal reason why Home Improvement was canceled after season 8. they say money can't buy happiness and it certainly can't buy Home Improvement co-stars Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson Allen and Richardson had both hoped to leave their television show for greener pastures Richardson had just scored a role in a major film a while back and Allen's turn is Buzz Lightyear in the movie Toy Story was making him a Bonafide Hollywood star wary of losing such profitable actors Network execs offered them outrageous sums of money to stay 25 million dollars for Richardson and an unprecedented 50 million dollars for Allen unbelievably they both refused without hesitation Richardson was asked about the 25 million dollars that fell through to which she replied of course I would have liked the money but I made enough from Home Improvement to last me several lifetimes and anyway I like working it brings me joy she continued on saying do I need a Learjet no not really that kind of extravagance isn't necessary for happiness while some people may feel they made a mistake by declining what appeared to be an extremely lucrative offer both Alan and Richardson have gone on to enjoy successful film careers while one can't help but wonder if the pair ever regrets turning down such a lucrative opportunity they appear to be doing just fine for themselves
