The cast of Home Improvement share their memories as they say goodbye. [BEHIND-THE-SCENES]
Quote from Al
Tim Allen: Richard Karn, great guy. Overcame all the odds. Think of one other funny guy that became famous in plaid.
Richard Karn: You know, after eight years, Tool Time was like a well-oiled machine. Many different parts working together in harmony.
Quote from Al
Richard Karn: It was a lot of fun. We were a great team, like Starsky and Hutch. Or Steve and Eydie, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. And the motorcycle guys, you know, with the tight pants and the tall boots. Those guys.
Quote from Heidi
Debbe Dunning: My role as the Tool Time girl gave me a unique opportunity to stretch as an actress. To take one line, seven little words, and to hone them, to make them my own. You know, not many people get that opportunity. I was very lucky.
Quote from Al
Richard Karn: Well, working with Tim was like sitting at the kids' table at Thanksgiving, every day.
Quote from Tim
Tim Allen: Well, I can do this 'cause it's the end of the show. I am a thespian, trapped in a man's body. I'm comfortable with that.
Quote from Mark
Taran Smith: It has been everything. Hysterical, fun, a little challenging.
Quote from Brad
Zachary Ty Bryan: I've spent more than half my life here, so it's gonna be definitely a change.
Quote from Wilson
Earl Hindman: Well, it was a lot of fun, even though I can't remember one funny thing that happened. But I'm gonna miss it.
Quote from Heidi
Debbe Dunning: What I'm gonna miss most about Home Improvement is the laughing. The everyday guarantee of laughing.
