Comedian Tim Allen stars as accident prone Tim the Tool Man Taylor on Home Improvement. It aired 8 seasons on ABC from 1991-1999. Patricia Richardson plays his wife Jill. Sons Brad, Randy, and Mark are played by Zachery Ty Brian, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Taran Smith. JTT left at the start of season 8 for college, so Randy went away to Costa Rica. Richard Karn plays Tim's assistant Al Borland on their cable show Tool Time, with Debbe Dunning as the announcer Heidi Keppel. Earl Hindman plays faceless next door neighbor Wilson Wilson.
How it got this far
1st Round: defeated Sister, Sister 10-4

I Dream of Jeannie aired 5 seasons on NBC from 1965-1970 and has gotten constant comparisons to Bewitched. Unlike Bewitched though, I Dream of Jeannie never jumped the shark with a major lead actor recast. Barbara Eden starred as Jeannie. She was discovered in a bottle by Captain Anthony/Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), who became her master and later in season 1 was promoted to Major Nelson. Bill Daily was Tony's best friend Captain/Major Roger Healey, who was jealous of the powers he had with his new genie. Hayden Rorke was their boss at NASA Dr. Anthony Bellows. He was often finding strange things going on, but anytime he tried to tell the top brass ended up looking bad.
