If Tim Allen and Richard Karn reuniting for a reality building competition reminds you of their classic sitcom Home Improvement, that s the point.
History Channel s Assembly Required (premiering Tuesday, 10 EST/PST) lets the pair be exactly like we were in Tool Time, the DIY show-within-a-show in ABC s former hit sitcom Home Improvement, Allen told a Television Critics Association panel last week.
Joined by DIY woodworking expert and YouTube star April Wilkerson, Allen and Karn will oversee a competition between makers across the country as they build a variety of contraptions from a dual, all-season ice-melter/leaf blower and all-in-one riding comfort mower to a do-it-yourself jacuzzi and BBQ bicycle, the network says.

Assembly Required as much the same characters. This is an expansion of that relationship, Allen said on a recent Television Critics Association Zoom panel ahead of Tuesday s premiere. We re very similar to the characters we play in that show.
