Sorry, “Home Improvement” fans. A reboot of the massively popular sitcom — which ran from 1991 for eight seasons and starred Tim Allen as a goofy, fun loving dad to three sons — is not coming out of the tool shed. Sources tell Variety there have been discussions over the years to get the Taylor family back together again. Patricia Richardson, who played the matriarch Jill Taylor, has indicated a willingness to return to the role. But there have been stumbling blocks to securing participation from the three Taylor boys: the eldest son Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan), middle son Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and youngest son Mark (Taran Noah Smith).
