Amazon.com: In its eighth and final season, classic sitcom Home Improvement holds up pretty well. Sure, plenty of recurring bits have gone stale--one imagines that star Tim Allen is looking forward to the day when he'll never have to grunt again, and hiding the face of neighbor Wilson (Earl Hindman) seems more like an obligatory chore than an entertaining game--but when the show focuses on the sitcom bedrock of marriage and family, it's not only still funny but sometimes even moving. The centerpiece of the whole season is a two-part episode that starts with an abundance of jokes about Tim's discomfort with female biology--then takes a jolting turn with the revelation that Jill (Patricia Richardson) has to get a hysterectomy. What follows is both comic and refreshingly honest as it captures Jill's anger and frustration, as well as a quietly touching portrait of how spouses support each other in times of trouble. Polly Holiday (Flo on Alice) boosts this episode with a strong appearance as Jill's mother.
The rest of the season goes up and down, suffering from some pointless celebrity appearances (Morgan Fairchild, Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey, magicians Penn & Teller) and stunt-casting (Playboy playmate Jenny McCarthy as a mechanic Tim flirts with), and the departure of Jonathan Taylor Thomas (whose teen heartthrob career never quite launched) throws off the long-established family dynamic. But even otherwise rote episodes have satisfyingly funny moments (in a Halloween episode, there's a nice bit of slapstick when Tim, dressed as a flying monkey from The Wizard of Oz, can't get his wings through a doorway). The comfortable interplay among the seasoned cast ensures that longtime fans will find much to enjoy. The extras include some brief interviews, a blooper reel, and a retrospective special. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews Average Rating:  Rating: - the last is a blast Tim Allen continues (with the cast) to give it all. Fabulous seeing this last season that was not shown here in europe. Now we have the entire set and unlike some series that slowly go down hill this one keeps, to my surprise, a'climbing. Great they finally put it on DVD. Shame there is no more comming.
Rating: - Always makes me laugh A funny, funny show that I wish wouldn't have ended. Miss the original airings and have to settle now for reruns and dvds. Love the whole family and laugh during each episode. Everyone can relate to something in the show and laugh.
Rating: - home improvement I like the title Mark's big break,Where Grease lightning is performed.Some good watching on that season.The bad point is that No more seasons of home improvement.
Rating: - Home Improvement Eight Season I thoroughly enjoy all of the Home Improvement Series. They are well written and the casting is great. I wish we had more of these shows today instead of all the stupid reality and live shows today. I do not watch any local channel shows anymore.
Rating: - I was sad to see Home Improvement leave after 8 years I have all the seasons of Home Improvement and was very sad to see it go. It was even more sad when Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Randy Taylor lefted the show. Glad he came back for 1 more eps and then for the 1st time in 8 years seeing Walson's face. Now when I want a good laugh I just grap a dvd and put it in. I am happy and sad at the same time.
