Did you know

Early on, Tim Allen would deliberately misquote lines in some scenes to help child actors Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Taran Noah Smith, so that they would feel less pressure about getting their own lines wrong.

Tim Allen stopped grunting as the seasons progressed due to the strain it eventually started to cause on his throat.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas wanted to quit acting to focus on academics instead. He left the show in 1998, making occasional guest appearances after that. He did not appear in the series finale, except in archived footage.
