Former Home Improvement co-stars Tim Allen and Richard Karn reunite for a History building competition series

Variety

Assembly Required, hosted by Karn and starring Allen, is described as "a competition series which is sounding the call for those with a can-do attitude to take back their sense of purpose and awaken their inner builder," per Variety. "Its aim is to spotlight the best and brightest builders from across the country, at their home workshops, as they compete to breathe new life into everyday household items in desperate need of fixing. In each episode, Allen and Karn will also dive into the unique history around these items to celebrate the men and women who crafted them." “Let’s face it, we’re living in a throwaway society,” said Allen in a statement. “We buy, break, replace… rinse and repeat. Whatever happened to repair and rebuild?!  There are some people who unfriend, unfollow and dispose of anything that offends, annoys or breaks – so I’ve created a show to remind people of the satisfaction and pride that comes from rebuilding something on their own.  And who better to join me than my buddy from the old Tool Time days – Richard Karn! Now we’re talking More Power!  Albert Einstein once said, ‘I’m not a genius, I’m just passionately curious.’ Well, let’s get curious! Even a chimpanzee would at least show interest, right? Wait – I think I just came up with another idea for the show!  R-R-R!”
