Home improvement is significantly better. It's a different show really, despite them trying to recreate it with LMS.

Wilson specifically is somewhat iconic. His character is really unique in the show and all other TV. The constant play on not being able to see his face (and in such a natural way with a short guy not being able to see over a tall fence), and his character being built up so well by the talks with Tim. I'm glad they didn't try to directly recreate his character

I just binged LMS on Netflix, so the whole series is pretty fresh to me.

I agree that HI was the better show, but LMS is very good in its own way.

If they hadn't recast Kristen and re-tooled her character to be a foil to Mike Baxter, I think the show would have surpassed Home Improvement.

I read that the recast was done because they got a new show runner for season 2, and he didn't jive with the original Kristen. While he got four more seasons out of it, that new show runner did the single worst thing that ever happened to the show.
