Now that Fox has picked up Last Man Standing, a Home Improvement revival is on indefinite hold. But if it were to happen, this is how Patricia Richardson pictures the plotline.
She said, “I thought if HI came back Jill and Tim wouldn’t live in the same house because they’ve separated or divorced. Tim has moved somewhere else and has another talkative neighbor. Getting them back together becomes focus of show. No politics. But we know it’s a metaphor for country.”
Does that sound like something you would watch? I kind of like it and could picture their three sons trying to get them back together.
UPDATE: Patricia Richardson added to her tweet, “It’s important to realize here folks this was just what I had been thinking, how could this happen without Wilson, possibly without Taran( no longer acts) and w/the edge the show had when it was good. It’s not going to happen.Tim always wanted the return of Last Man Standing. HATE the politics.Any idea that an Archie Bunker type person can be smart(?) likeable(?)while being homophobic and/or racist is a stretch.But I love the family/friend dynamics on LMS.The love they all display for each other,that Tim shares with them,is so truthful and beautiful.”
In case you were wondering why they would need a new neighbor, sadly, Earl Hindman, who played Wilson, passed away from lung cancer in 2003.
