While it's easy to see how the show could become quickly tiresome, at first blush it's harmlessly amusing.

It's your standard sitcom fluff - it goes down easy and keeps you entertained, but it's not must-see TV.

It doesn't help that four of Allen's one-liners -- delivered with an annoyingly smug leer -- are about "butt cracks. "
September 11, 2018
Allen's sitcom may well work, although by the second episode it already shows uneasy signs of cuteness bloat, right down to Tim ineptly trying to make a swivel-based cookbook holder for his wife...fairly routine sitcom fodder.

There are some amusing gibes at power-tool macho, but dubious prospects for long-term fun.

Home Improvement isn't groundbreaking TV or even the most original new show of the year, but it's the most perfectly realized: an idea whose time has come combined with sharp writing and once-in-a-blue-moon cast chemistry.

A relaxed and likable show...Allen is one of the fall's freshest finds. But all the best punch lines in the hilarious pilot came right out of his "Men Are Pigs" stand-up routine. With the writers out on their own, the humor seems to be thinning out.

The playful yet complicated relationship between Tim and Jill, the most interesting sitcom marriage since-well, since Roseanne and Dan.

Strong writing, relatable storylines, and a great cast make Home Improvement a winner for families.

Bottom line is that this is one hilarious half hour. Probably a half dozen laugh-out-loud side-busters and a couple dozen chucklers. Even the obvious jokes are so well-timed they get a laugh.
