In its third season, Home Improvement settled into a comfortable and hugely popular groove. Tim Taylor (Tim Allen, The Santa Clause, the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story) banters fondly with his wife Jill (Patricia Richardson, Ulee’s Gold) at home, snipes at his assistant Al (Richard Karn, Sex and the Teenage Mind) on his TV show Tool Time, and discusses manly troubles with his philosophical neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman), while his three sons (Taran Noah Smith, Zachary Ty Bryan, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was the voice of the young Simba in The Lion King) run amok. In just about every episode Tim garbles Wilson’s Iron John-esque advice; in just about every episode he mocks Al for being a lonely oversensitive guy, even after Al finds a girlfriend; in just about every episode Tim and Jill tiff over the differences between the sexes…and yet the cast, though sheer warmth and enthusiasm, makes it feel consistently fresh–or if not fresh, cozy.
Not that the season was without a few new faces: Debbe Dunning replaces Pamela Anderson as the Tool Time girl; Al gets a girlfriend, Ilene (Sherry Hursey); several episodes features some new neighbors (Mariangela Pino and Robert Picardo, later the Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager); the great M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple) appears as Jill’s father; and a number of sports figures, shuttle astronauts, and former President Jimmy Carter make guest appearances as themselves. This is solid sitcom comfort food; dependable and satisfying, familiar but still lively. If you’re not a fan of Allen’s humor, this season won’t change your mind, but many couples will see a little of themselves in Tim and Jill’s relationship, and that’s not a bad thing. More power! –Bret Fetzer
Home Improvement – The Complete Third Season
Category: Home & Family
The one star is only for the tool time girl. The rest of the show is completely worthless and a total waste of time. Unfunny boring and stupid jokes are just the tip of the iceberg with this garbage. The funniest part of the show is when the credits roll and you laugh at yourself for being stupid enough to watch it.

After buying the first two seasons, that was enough for me. First, for a comedy with really no extras, this is too pricey(I paid 35 for each season). The show itself is the same all the time. I like the scenes with the boys the best, they are funny. But Wilson and Tool Time are BORING. I had planned to get this set but found better shows to buy with alot of extras and lower prices!

I am a huge fan of Home Improvement. I enjoyed the last 2 DVD sets. I am looking foward getting this one when it comes out in November. Tim Allen is one of my favorite Actors and hes really funny in this show. What do we want? MORE Power!

After really enjoying the first 2 DVDs in the series, I was looking forward to this one. I was disappointed. The episodes are OK – not as funny as the earlier ones.
The DVD packaging is not all that great. The box lists the episode titles but no other info such as a description. The DVD menu pages look like they were just thrown together. The first 2 DVDs had better packaging.
I’ll wait and see the episode descriptions before I rush out and buy the next one.

It was fine. I bought it for a gift and have not given it yet. It did come when it was suppose to and looks like new.
