Subject: Tim Allen Hints At Behind-The-Scenes Issues Holding Up "Home Improvement" Reboot

Actor Tim Allen just gave an update on the highly anticipated reboot of
?Home Improvement,? saying ?personality problems? with one of the
actors are at least partially to blame for it never getting off the
ground.

?They keep talking about how it could move forward, but they get stuck [because] there are some personality problems right now with the boys,?
Allen told Us Weekly in an interview published Wednesday.

This comment likely referred to Zachery Ty Bryan being arrested in
November 2025 over a domestic violence violation after previously being arrested for suspicion of DUI, felony assault, and robbery, as the
outlet noted. He was also arrested on suspicion of strangling his then-girlfriend in 2020. Bryan starred as one of Allen?s sons in the
series, which began when he was 9 years old.

Another blow to any hope of a reboot is that, in 2024, Jonathan Taylor
Thomas, who played another son on the show, is no longer ?interested in acting,? according to his former co-star Patricia Richardson.

?They?ve got their own issues. I always thought it would be cool if it
was a story about them. That?s a little challenging right now, to put
it mildly,? the actor added.

The massive hit ?Home Improvement? ran for eight seasons from 1991 to
1999. Allen starred as Tim ?The Tool Man? Taylor, and the series
followed him as he navigated life with his wife and three sons. Allen,
who has a real-life love of cars, previously starred in the popular, Trump-friendly sitcom ?Last Man Standing? for many years before it was shockingly canceled in 2017.

He is also part of a new sitcom, ?Shifting Gears,? which debuted last
year. He is well known for voicing Buzz Lightyear in the ?Toy Story? franchise. The fifth installment of the popular animated film is due
out later this month.

Allen has had a successful Hollywood career by any measure, but his
fans say he?s been discriminated against for holding openly
conservative views.

The 72-year-old told Bill Maher earlier this year that DEI policies
should not come at the expense of the show?s quality.

?My wife says, ?Why do you keep saying that?? And I said, ?Somebody
told me I was like the Tom Brady of sitcoms.? When they asked me to do
a third [show], I said, ?I thought they were kidding,?? the comedian
told Maher, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

?I don?t know whether my generation ? because all the people that I
know that I would make it with are either dead or not the right gender,
you know, they?re all light-skinned European older men. And that
doesn?t fit the DEI thing that everybody wanted.?

?I didn?t want to get into that. I didn?t want to patronize people. If
you?re going to do a sitcom, it?s just got to be funny. You got to have
some drama,? Allen said.

All they need is JTT. Nobody really cares about the other two kids. Just having JTT with a wife and kids would be more than enough family
characters to deal with.

But JTT is no longer interested in acting. That's the much bigger issue
than Zachary Ty Bryan being radioactive now.

Nobody really ever cared about Tim Allen either. :-p
His best role is playing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story franchise.

You really have to wonder why greedy parents are allowed to push their
kids into acting, when almost all the kids grow up to be loonies. :-\

Being a vegan really isn't that bad. :-) It's a common thing in his generation. Cohorts do things. *shrug*

FWIW, I once heard from a talent agent who represented a lot of
children. She said most of them were fine -- they did some catalog
modeling and commercials, tucked the money away for college, and got on
with their lives. She thought the problem with hot mess child stars
wasn't showbiz as such but the sort of parents who are willing to push
their kids to the top at any cost.

Making others to conform to his own ideals (if the above is true) does
make him a loonie though.
