boomer conservative views on things. just in the first scene alone, before the opening credits, he goes on a rant about how handbaskets aren't made in the US anymore, but we do make excuses, quitters, and diabetes, and celebrities who use diabetes medication to lose weight, and he takes a pot shot at how someone's dirty hat looked like it had been ruined by being in Portland for too long. there's a reference to how he keeps a spare housekey under a "Reagan Gnome", a rant about how he hates the news because it's one person who tells you what the news is and three people to tell you what you're supposed to think about it, but he still watches it cuz you have to stay informed (and because the one lady anchor is easy on the eyes). and then there's a weird back and forth with his granddaughter who is a small child, making fun of how last time he saw her she had seen the Barbie movie and wanted to "tear down the patriarchy", to which his granddaughter says she's over that and now she wants to be a billionaire like Lori from Shark Tank, cuz she travels by helicopter, to which he wishes her luck in finding a man who is comfortable with her making more money than him. it goes on and gets even weirder from there. he goes on in the episode to complain about how the whole block his auto shop is on is "gentrified" now because "the bars have mocktails", and how kids these days are "vitamin D deprived" "screen addicted freaks", and he implies that parents these days are raising their children to be weak and to not be self sufficient, and that they're not supposed to just go through life being a passenger because "Jesus didn't Uber, he takes the wheel". what a gigantic heap of fucking trash. i only watched it because my folks wanted to check it out, and i figured i'd check it out with them. we watched Home Improvement together as a family back in the day, and my dad liked Last Man Standing. but luckily my didn't want to continue watching it, after the father and daughter character's strained relationship reminded him too much of his relationship with my sister. so we won't be tuning in again. which is great because before that started getting laid on too thick for him, he was actually enjoying it and liking Tim Allen's "jokes". --- R.I.P.

I know he rubs people the wrong way but I fucking loved Home Improvement when it started my sophomore year of high school. I still enjoy watching reruns and think it holds up. Ive enjoyed some movies hes been in and admittedly liked Last Man Standing even though a lot of the political stuff was incorporated into that show. Still found it enjoyable. I recorded Shifting Gears because I was curious and despite the hate her show got I liked Kat Dennings on Two Broke Girls. So Im still going to give it a shot. Havent watched it yet. Just got home from work not long ago. If it sucks oh well, Ive got plenty of other stuff to watch and Ill always have a soft spot for Home Improvement even if he is bad now. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

oh but it's funny about Home Improvement, cuz we all used to watch it and like it as a kid, and i don't remember my dad ever having any particular dislike of Jill or anything, but nowadays whenever he runs across a rerun of it he watches it for a little bit, usually if it's the Tool Time segments, and then eventually when Jill has had enough lines he changes it cuz he remembers that he doesn't like it anymore because he thinks Jill's whole "female empowerment" "independent woman with her own career and life outside of the household" thing is a bunch of bullshit, and doubly so because she is a psychologist or psychiatrist or whatever, because he really hates anyone in those professions. thinks they're all a bunch of quacks. --- R.I.P.

I didn't watch Last Man Standing, but didn't the show push back on Tim Allen's character somewhat? My impression was that the show at least made the non-conservative characters real people with viable points of view, and the show often had Tim Allen's character learning to be at least a little open minded. But this new show seems to have just thrown that out the window completely, and it's just a mouthpiece for Tim and his boomer politics to go completely unchallenged. --- man - noun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxNfqcJmyEI They in fact had Tim form Home Improvment show up to show that show was cannon to so he could be double the egotist. And the show WAS suppose to be both sided but I heard that Tim more or less forced everyone to do what he wanted, that's why both of his older kids in the show got replaced by lamer actors, they both did not like Tim forcing there characters to more or less become workers in there dad's store and give in to what he wanted there lives to be. ...

I m curious if Home Improvement is a Roseanne situation, where the writers had to ignore him to make a good show.
