RELATED STORIES
These days, Tim Allen is probably best known for supplying the voice of Buzz Lightyear in ‘Toy Story’.
So far to date, Tim has voiced Buzz in four feature films as well as multiple shorts. Buzz Lightyear has since become a phenomenon unto his own, and it’s all thanks to Tim.
It’s also possible that you associate Tim with the holiday season.
Back in 1994, the world bore witness to one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made — The Santa Clause . To this day, we’ve yet to see a better Santa.
But if you’re a true 80s/90s baby like myself, when you think of Tim Allen — you immediately think of ‘Home Improvement’.
Home Improvement told the semi-autobiographical story of Tim “The Tool-Man” Taylor: a blundering home repair TV sensation with divine love for all things related to power tools.
Starring alongside Tim was Richard Karn, who played the Tool-Man’s highly skilled and capable assistant, Al Borland.
Tim and Al were a proverbial Odd Couple to boot. The latter always set on doing things by the book, while the former only cared about instilling “more power!” into each and every task.
It’s been more than two decades since ‘Home Improvement’ was taken off the air.
Now, to give Home Improvement diehards something to “salute!” about, Tim and Richard are poised to make their triumphant return in a brand new series, aptly titled — More Power .
‘More Power’ stands to serve as an ode to power tools themselves.
But of course, we’re not talking about your standard table saws and electric drills. In More Power , Tim and Richard are setting out to show audiences the most suped-up powerful tools the world has ever seen.
Throughout the series, Tim and Richard will be joined by fellow power tool enthusiast, April Wilkerson.
Fans may recall April from the competition series, Assembly Required . Only this time, instead of focusing on home builders themselves, this time — it’s all about the tools!
What makes ‘More Power’ even more exciting is that the series will be based out of Tim’s home shop.
Not only will audiences get to see the reunion of one of TV’s most beloved duos, but we’ll also be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at what life inside “The Tool-Man’s” garage is really like.
Both Karn and Allen seem absolutely delighted to bring this new spin on a familiar concept to TV audiences all over the world.
“Having the opportunity to explore my curiosity in-depth and really get to know more about the people and things that make us what we are today gets me excited,” Tim old CinemaBlend.com.
“The chance to do a show like ‘Tool Time’ was unquestionably exciting,” Karn chimed in.
“We may not have Binford but we still will have a world of fun! ” If that isn’t something to grunt about, then I don’t know what is.
‘More Power’ is set to premiere on History on Wednesday, June 29th.
In the meantime, be sure to check out the brand new teaser trailer in order to get a taste of what’s to come. You can also catch up on old episodes of Home Improvement on Amazon Prime Video.
