Home Improvement is an American television program starring Tim Allen, which aired 1991 to 1999. The show was created by Matt Williams, Carmen Finestra and David MacFadzean.
In the 1990s it was one of the most-watched sitcoms, winning multiple awards. It served to launch Tim Allen's acting career and also was the start of the television career of Pamela Anderson, who was part of the cast for the first two seasons, even if only in an inconspicuous role.
The show's title is a pun; it refers to physical improvement of houses, as well as to improving life with family, friends, work, and school.
The Home Improvement theme song was composed by Dan Foliart. The song is unique for its sampling of powertools (most noticeably an electric drill) heard throughout the song. Tim's grunting was also sampled for the song. The traditional instruments used in the song include: flute, guitar, and organ.
