Tim Taylor was the (improbable) host of a local Detroit home improvement show sponsored by Binford Tools. He was often shown up at work by his assistant Al, and at home by his wife Jill. He often looked for sage advice from his neighbor Wilson, who had a vast knowledge of other cultures and whose face was never completely revealed. The show featured the gimmick of a show within a show with Tool Time. It also had elaborate effects usually revolving around Tim's overpowered tools getting out of control either on the Tool Time set or at his home.

Lightweight family sitcom that was centered around Tim's humorous ineptitude at home and at work on his home improvement show.
