Day after day, I watched Home Improvement. I remember those days vividly. Eating mac and cheese from breakfast, lunch, and dinner (no joke…). Getting home from school, I always had :) to watch Tim Allen and Home Improvement. Brad, Randy, and Mark were like my brothers. Doing things I would do.
I strangely related to Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor. Even though I was young, before my teens, I still related to Tim because I was clumsy. If you remember correctly Tim, during every episode, asked Wilson (Tim’s neighbor) for advice but Wilson’s face was ALWAYS hidden.
If Wilson wasn’t behind the fence, hiding his face, he was wearing a mask or a plant would block the bottom half of his face. It was always a mystery throughout the entire T.V. series. Some say the reason why this happened was because when Tim Allen was young (in real life), he was too short to look over the fence to see his neighbor’s face. Others say it’s because Earl Hindman (Wilson) had a scar on his face. Since Tim Allen was the Executive Consultant, in the first two years of the show, I think the first story holds more weight.
Without further ado, here (at the top), is a picture of Wilson. On the left you’ll see Wilson as his is typically seen throughout the T.V. Series and on the right you’ll see him without anything hiding his face. Although the picture is a bit of a mug shot, this is what the famous ‘Wilson’ looks like without any disguises. I hope this made you smile. ![]()
