The universal themes of family, parenting, the battle of the sexes -- and of course, man's need for "more power" -- come to play each and every weekday on Home Improvement. Every episode finds Tim the "Tool Man" Taylor causing his share of goof-ups and mishaps and leaving his long-suffering wife, Jill, family and friends to mop up the mess.
