Home Improvement was a very humorous and charming US sitcom that usually had a moral message and dealt with serious issues at times, for example when Jill was tempted to have an affair with a beefy guy (played by Tom "Dukes of Hazzard" Wopat). There was an underlying maturity to the scripts and I could enjoy 22 minutes (excluding commercials) of Home Improvement and laugh at the same time.
But I felt one of the episodes crossed the line and I'm sorry the editors didn't see fit to remedy it. Tim Allen was showing off a power tool to the Tool Time audience and grunted disparagingly "This ain't no Hop Sing" much to the knowing laughter of the audience. Seriously, this is something I would have expected in Beavis and Butthead, not Home Improvement.
