1. What could Tim Allen possibly be doing that he didn’t have time to comment on this article 🤣

2. The show had run its course at that point since JTT had left. Said my teenage self.

3. Lack of viewers ended that show.

   Shows didn’t stop unless ppl quit watching. until Seinfeld.

   Edit: Disregard this comment, I was wrong.

4. These type of shows tend to satire themselves as at the end

5. It was time to end it anyways. I can’t comment on her work and I’m sure she worked just as hard as everyone else, but Tim Allen and JTT anchored that show. So I guess it would make sense they wouldn’t be willing to crank up her pay to the level she proposed and that’s a good way to get the exit she sought.

   I don’t think politics hurts Home Improvement, but it likely hurts his new sitcoms. It just didn’t age all that well with the times.

6. Still blows my mind Tim Allen spent hard time for drug trafficking

7. My roommate interviewed her during her time on the show. PR told her she was sick of the sitcom and was ready to leave.

8. tIM aLlEn sAiD hE wAs rePubliCaN so nOw wE hAte Him!

9. Seems like it would make sense to pay based on camera time but obviously that’s not a thing and never will be.
