It’s honestly such a weird show. The “hero” is an incompetent jerk who constantly screws up and relentlessly bullies his most loyal friend who is vastly more competent in every way.
At least they gradually tone down the bullying as time goes on and the teasing on Tool Time becomes more of a two way street.
I get that. But usually the hero is someone who underestimates their own ability and learns to overcome challenges by believing in themselves. Here we have the opposite, which seems more fitting for a villain.
That's a tired trope. By giving him character flaws they created a lot of opportunities to show personal growth, and teach lessons. His anonymous neighbor was usually the one to throw down the wisdom which he would take to heart.

It's hilarious how much this was based on Bob Vila and Norm Abram from *This Old House* - although the contrast between Vila and Abram was much more severe.

Without a hint of irony, one of the best male role models in history.

Watching a perfect person wouldn't be super interesting long term.
Watching a imperfect person struggle in situations when you know how to fix it.... engagement forever!

Seems like a cool show, what's its name?
“Home Improvement”. The man pictured is Richard Karn who plays the character “Al Borland”.
Me: *Picks up my cat to hug*
My cat: Wtf?!? How dare you! *tries to leap off after 10 seconds of confusion*
You gotta reverse psychology the cat. Get a teddy bear. Hug that. Cat may become jealous and want a hug.
And if that doesn't work, hey, you have a new friend to give a hug to when you need one.
... keep it away from the cat though.
This will really spark the cat's curiosity
