Unused Graphics

Tool Time Monitor

Tim and Al

Home Improvement- Power Tool Pursuit Unused Graphics - Tim and Al (Tool Time Monitor).PNG
An image of Tim Taylor and Al Borland together. As the monitor in the Tool Time scenes is usually used to show the current character speaking, this suggests that Tim and Al were to say something in unison, most likely to encourage audience participation.

Mark

Mark is the only one of Tim's children that doesn't speak in the Tool Time scenes. As a result, this monitor image goes unused.

Studio Without Tim

This was likely to be used whenever Tim walks off the Tool Time set.

Studio Without Kids

For some reason, Tim's kids don't appear in this version of the full shot of the Tool Time set.

Mark

As noted above, Mark did not speak in any of the Tool Time scenes. However, he does have sprites made for him speaking, in addition to the monitor shot.
