Tonight: A Home Improvement Reunion On Last Man Standing

Last Man Standing presents a Home Improvement reunion tonight as Patricia Richardson, who played Tim Allen’s wife on the iconic series, makes an appearance on the ABC show as a character named Helen Potts.

The episode airs tonight (January 9) at 8PM, and in it, Richardson’s character is a “new but noisy neighbor” who wakes neighbors with her power tools and fix-it projects. (She was probably Tool Time’s biggest fan, right?) Things get bad for Mike when his wife becomes fast friends with Vanessa. Drama!Below you can find some promotional images, including some shots featuring another Home Improvement star, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. We’re not sure if those photos are from a cameo appearance in the show or if it was a behind-the-scenes visit. Enjoy:
