Roseanne. It was more influential it showed the hardships a family goes through. It's one of the few realistic sitcoms. Although I also like home improvement.

Home Improvement, hands down. Only the first few seasons, though. I got bored when they all started hanging out at that hardware store and more stories were focused on the growing boys. I watched to see the Tim/Jill and Tim/Al banters, Wilson's sage advice, and of course to see what ridiculous predictament Tim would find himself in that week. :lol:

Roseanne, though I watched Home Improvement when it originally aired. Through reruns Roseanne is easier to watch, imo HI wasn't as good when the kids grew up it did get boring.

Roseanne.

Home Improvement was the same thing over and over. That weird sound Tim made was ridiculous for a grown man. When the boys got older the show didn't work and Patricia Richardson was wasted talent. No other character got a chance to develop.

Plus, how could a guy have a hit show about home repairs and be a complete failure at home? Dan Conner's struggles were more realistic and he dressed and acted like he really did some work.

The things I did like about Home Improvement, however, was the whole Wilson concept (new ways to conceal his face), and the fact that Tim had all brothers and Jill had all sisters. They could have done more with that.

Roseanne was a much better and funnier show in my opinion.

Home improvement, to me that was a lot funnier. The only thing that got a bit annoying to me after a while were the Wilson parts. And I thought it was too bad when Randy left the show, since he was my fave of the kids.

I believe Weezy didn't add that as an option because she wants people to choose one or the other. If you choose none (rather, it is neither) then there is no reason to post here at all.

Correct. That is the point of a poll. If you have no opinion, move on.

Tim was a failure at home probably because that had viewers laughing. The powers that were at ABC sacrificed realism for comedy if you ask me.

Home Improvement is better, but Roseanne is okay.

ROSEANNE.....is waaay better! At one point or another, I laughed at mostly every single character they had on there...And the stories were just better. And Roseanne`s attitude was just priceless.

I used to watch Home Improvement here and there when I was little, but I never looked back. I found it boring. It didn't hold my interest too much.

I have a feeling Home Improvement will be N@N`s #1 show after Roseanne leaves. (I will probably give the show another try when it comes to N@N. I used to try to get into it on TBS, but for some reason, they don't air the episodes in order).

Home Improvment because...

- The Show was at its best when Debbie Dunning join the show and her character Heidi doing Tool Time intros were very entertaining

Home Improvement is 100 times better than Roseanne.

I watched them both when they were first-run shows. They were both very funny, but the first eight seasons of Roseanne had an air of authenticity that was missing from Home Improvement. My family could relate to the Conners and their blue collar life: having to report to bad bosses, having neighbors look down on them, and even their inability to keep the electricity on. Meanwhile, on Home Improvement, Jill was working on her masters degree, and Tim was the star of a TV show. No matter how many accidents Tim caused, he would always come out on top.

It was much easier to relate to the Conners: Darlene was the first member of the family to go to college. Becky ended up living in a trailer. The life of the Conners mirrored that of my own family. The Taylors, in their perfect home, with no financial worries, were a family we could never aspire to be.

Roseanne is infinitely better. Home Improvement is mostly forgotten because it's forgettable.
