Although Tim Taylor (Tim Allen) may be master of his own domain on his do-it-yourself TV series "Tool Time," he isn't entirely in charge in his own home, as proven in this debut episode of Home Improvement. Explicitly ordered by his wife, Jill (Patricia Richardson), not to attempt to repair the family dishwasher, Tim does so anyway -- with the expected disastrous results. Nor does Tim improve matters any when he tries to console Jill after she loses out on a good job.
