timothy "tim" taylor (tim allen) – tim taylor (the character has a birth date of october 1954) is the father of the family. ever the know-it-all, tim believes he has an incredibly wide knowledge of tools, electronics, and general mechanics. in reality, he is highly accident-prone. he actually does have a significant amount of skill as a general handyman, but can be overly confident and prone to spectacular mishaps. he often forgets a crucial step, ignores instructions, makes ill-advised modifications, or comes to inaccurate conclusions. the only exception to this ineptitude is when working on cars, at which he excels. he is left-handed but actually does a great deal of his work with his right hand. taylor's "arch enemy", so to speak, is the real-life home improvement specialist, bob vila. one episode saw tim competing against bob vila in a lawnmower contest for charity. tim actually installed a jet engine on his machine-which resulted in tim causing unintended chaos and destruction. tim hosts a home improvement show called "tool time" with his co-host and friend, al borland. while al is his co-host, al constantly must remind tim of safety regulations and practices. tim often ignores al's advice, and this frequently results in an accident. while it is constantly mentioned that "tool time" is a limited local home improvement show that sits very high on the channel dial, tool time seems to have a very wide audience in the state of michigan, and is progressively broadcast to more outlets across the midwest (a season 5 episode has tim, al, and bud brainstorming for ideas on how to bring the show into the chicago markets). tim often boasts at his popularity for hosting the show, although many people state that they like al better. a running gag involves people encountering tim in public and stating, "oh, we always watch "tool time"...we "love" al." to which an annoyed tim would reply, "oh yeah, we "all" love al." in later seasons, however, it is learned that tim actually has a higher fan base than al (except in a season 8 episode, where al scores higher than tim on a popularity poll).
