Without his knowledge Tim would have had a tougher time being a friend, spouse, and father. Its interesting to me because, I have cable for the first time in a while and nick at nite happenly was showing “Home improvement.” Most shows now days hve an expert lead role or a lead with a side kick that completes him. The mentor role by a wise person, especially someone who doesnt give the aswer right away, is one that in media trends is fading in my opinion.

Wilson can be identified by his learned expressions, quotes and mannerisms. He is also noted as always having something cover his face, eg: a fence, bush, piece of wood, coffee cup, etc. I think his character also reflects the sophistication of the writer. As a chracter, Tim Taylor was a well written average joe trying to make a living. He worked hard, loved his family, was a mans man, and blindly ignorant. Things we all can relate to and it was done in a tasteful manner. I wish we had good writers now days for prime time shows that dont require violence or sex to be entertaining.
