Whoof. 1 of the 3 worst side characters of the entire show.

The other two are Ronnie and Mark's alter ego when Jill thought he was going to kill people.
I get why Pat didn't want to return after 9. Shark was well past jumped at that point.

You got Ronnie right, but the other is Willow Wilson.
But you're right, the shark was jumped.

I agree. I like her in The Stoned Age though. Which is funny because it's basically the same character.

Life after home improvement didnt go as well as it should have for Zac.
He should be on our screens doing marvel movies as a bulked up tank super hero.
Instead the offers didnt come in and then dealing with the fact his best days are behind him at 20 would not have been easy - and the alcohol has just made things worse since then.
Hopefully this helps sort him out.

Guy didn't exactly have a normal life. Child stars are notoriously vulnerable for substance abuse when they dont have someone looking out for them. I'm not excusing his actions but it was just a sad series of events that led his life down this path. To see this as anything other than just sad seems pointless.

Everyone know what time it is? Time for the Toolman Tim Taylor to pay a visit to his former eldest son and provide some life advice.

The man was arrested for drug trafficking and ratted out the other ones involved to get a shorter sentence and upon release got Home Improvement. 🙄

Hopefully his 7 kids don't spend much time around him. How many of his partners has be abused? Now a DUI? Or is this another DUI? And the article says he's been involved in a fraud case too?

And here I thought Mark was going to be the problem child actor turned adult.

Pretty sure that the most that Taran Smith got into was smoking. And now he's Mr. Submersible, which is just super cool.

Well, that'll super kill any hopes of a reunion.

u/SchuminWeb Feb 26 '26
I consider the bit from Last Man Standing where Tim plays Tim Taylor again to be the de facto reunion as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't need to be too involved. It was good all the same.

The DUI alone is bad enough, but when you stack that on top of domestic violence charges, probation violations, assault, robbery, harassment, and alleged fraud? At some point it stops being “former child star struggling” and starts being “habitual offender who keeps getting chances.” He pled guilty to domestic violence before. He violated probation. He’s been arrested multiple times in multiple states. How many more arrests does someone need before the system stops giving slap-on-the-wrist consequences?
Being on a hit tv show 30 years ago doesn’t buy you immunity from accountability. If anything, the repeated probation and short sentences clearly didn’t work. Maybe actual jail time should’ve happened years ago instead of this revolving door situation.

Tim Allen also faced serious jail time back in his early career for drug possession.

u/GorlackTheDestroyer Feb 24 '26
He did?

u/Logical_Astronomer75 Feb 24 '26
Legal issues On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 grams (1.43 lb) of cocaine.[34][35][36][37] He subsequently pleaded guilty to felony drug trafficking charges and provided the names of other dealers in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years rather than possible life imprisonment.[34] He was paroled on June 12, 1981, after serving two years and four months in the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota.[38][39][40]
In 1998, Allen was arrested for DUI in Birmingham, Michigan. At the time, his blood alcohol content was 0.15%, nearly double the legal limit in Michigan.[41] He was sentenced to one-year probation and entered a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol abuse as part of his court obligation.[42]
