Did Wilson have a job? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 12-04-2007, 01:25 AM

Thanks to N@N I've been watching HI a lot lately. It got me thinking though- was there ever any mention of Wilson ever working or having a real job on the show? I couldn't imagine he would be retired (didn't look/seem that old). Seems weird that he wouldn't work and just do weird things in his backyard and give advice to Tim.

We've talked about this before. We're not sure he has a job. He's mentioned that he never goes out of his house at times, but one time we saw Tim helping Wilson with the groceries, which means he must go out at times. Plus, he has to make money somehow, right?

Wilson's job was to give sage advice to Tim and Jill!

He was a retired college professor.

Remember the episode where Wilson tells his stories to an audience of college kids at a cafe and the write did not like Wilson's stories, but the kids seem to love his stories.

The kids called him Dr. Wilson and he told Tim after the event was over and in their yards that he used to be a professor.

He also told the professor lady Jill set him up with he used to be a professor himself.

Hope that clears things up.

Wilson's a doctor. I've seen him working at a hospital as a surgeon.

He did that as volunteer(spelling). When Tim saw him at a hospital once, when one of his kids had an accident and Wilson said no I volunteer here.

He also volunteered at the hopsice place randy went to help out at.

Wilson volunteered at alot of places.

On the episode where Wilson wins 10 grand at the hockey game, it was mentioned that he was low on funds and really needed it.

One time, Tim had a DREAM about Wilson being in the
operating room. But Wilson was a trained midwife.
