Home Improvement was a ratings hit until the very end and here's how much Tim Allen and co-star Patricia Richardson rejected to make a ninth season.

One thing that I would like to know is how Earl Hindman was doing when the show ended. Cancer is what took him from us at the end of 2003, but I don't know when the sickness was first dumped on his plate. The show ended in the spring of 1999. I once saw it said that the health of late actor Peter Boyle was already declining when Everybody Loves Raymond ended in 2005. His final day was in December of the following year.

God bless you and the families of both gentlemen always!!!
