It has been 21 years since Home Improvement ended, and two of the show’s stars are getting together to build a new show. History announced that they greenlit a home improvement competition show with Tim Allen and Richard Karn. Just like the ’90s sitcom, Allen will star, and Karn will host.
What is the concept behind Assembly Required? It is being described as it “will spotlight the best and brightest builders from across the country, at their home workshops, as they compete to breathe new life into everyday household items in desperate need of fixing. This new series will push each contestant to their limits while testing their ability and ingenuity to not only rebuild it but to build it better.” Then they added, “In each episode, Allen and Karn will also dive into the unique history around these items to celebrate the men and women who crafted them, and the techniques used.”
“Let’s face it — we’re living in a throwaway society,” said Tim Allen. “We buy, break, replace… rinse and repeat. Whatever happened to repair and rebuild? There are some people who unfriend, unfollow and dispose of anything that offends, annoys or breaks – so I’ve created a show to remind people of the satisfaction and pride that comes from rebuilding something on their own.”
