ABC’s Home Improvement was a staple of ’90s kids’ TV programming, whether it was for the blue collar comedy or Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ teen crush. Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor (Tim Allen) and Al Borland hosted the show within the show called Tool Time, an improvement show.

Tim and Al did most of the heavy lifting during Tool Time, but the Tool Time Girl assisted them. Pamela Anderson played the role for the first two seasons, but when she left to focus on Baywatch, producers introduced a new assistant: Deneb Dunning as Heidi kipper.

Improvements to the house

Heidi is remembered as a key character on Home Improvement, but Dunning had to work hard to make her a fully developed one. Her role in the first few seasons seemed small, only appearing in Tool Time segments without much backstory, she told Stars and Celebs in 2018. As a result, she kept looking for other roles on different TV shows, feeling as though she might be dropped from the show at any moment.

Eventually, Dunning’s role was expanded, and she was promoted from recurring to regular status on the show. In addition to appearing in a few low-budget films after Home Improvement ended, she guest starred on Sabrina: The Teenage Witch for one episode. She starred in a seven-episode arc as Hope Locator in the revenge drama Wicked Games, alongside Tatum O’Neal.

Truth Of Home Improvement

In the ’90s, Tim Allen was one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry. He also starred in one of the most popular TV shows of the decade, Home Improvement, as well as a thriving comedy career.

The premise of Allen’s comedy act was that men were essentially cavemen and had evolved only enough to enjoy power tools, so he played Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor, a bumbling husband and father who hosted Tool Time, a Michigan-based home improvement show that always ended with him breaking something. Check out this behind-the-scenes look at ABC’s eight-season hit.

Needs no improvement

When Pamela Anderson land the role of Lisa, the “Tool Girl” on Tool Time, the show-within-a-show on Home Improvement; she launched a high-profile career. Award-winning actress, activist, and potential senatorial candidate Ashley Judd is also auditioning. According to show creator Matt Williams, she was “so talented” – even too talented for the thankless, eye-candy role of Lisa.

While Judd didn’t get the part, Williams said he intended to create a character just for her: Tim Taylor’s sister. Judd’s agent informed Williams a couple of days later that Judd had withdrawn his interest. Focusing on movie roles instead of TV shows was significant to her.
