The "Tool Time" set is very sparse-in contrast to the elaborate later set versions.
"Mrs. Binford" is seen for the only time in the series. Tim refers to her as "Mrs. Been-in-the-Sauce"
The audience consists only of two older men, one who is asleep and another who says "Tool Time" in a very bored manner
The episode also shows why Al began saying "I don't think so, Tim" whenever he's asked to help with something
Al Borland was a US Navy Seabee-in Nevada
The license plate of Tim's hotrod reads "2L TIME".
Wilson gives his one-on-one advice to all major cast members except Heidi and Lisa, the "Tool Time" girls.
Tim Taylor's name is an anagram for 'mortality', a comment noted by Wilson in an episode where Tim and Jill were deciding their will during Season 1.
In the Season 7 episode, "Tool-Thousand-One: A Space Odyssey," the character of Mark shaves his head after being dumped on a date. The actor, Taran Noah Smith, did not wear a "special effect" bald headpiece in this scene - he actually had his head close-shaved and loved it so much he decided to keep it.[3].
Zachery Ty Bryan, who played the oldest brother Brad, is actually slightly younger than Jonathan Taylor Thomas who plays his younger brother Randy in the Television series.
The full names of the Taylor boys were Bradley Michael Taylor, Randall William Taylor, and Marcus Jason Taylor. In the episode where Brad & Randy write a fake letter, Brad calls him "Marcus", and although Mark's middle name isn't mentioned directly during the series, in one post-finale interview Tim said Mark's middle name was Jason.
Ashley Judd auditioned for and won the role of Lisa the Tool Girl. However, her agent urged her to pursue movies instead of a television career, and she pulled out days before the original pilot was to be taped, resulting in the casting of Pamela Anderson. The last-minute change necessitated alterations to the original script, in which Lisa was a major character; she was a college student majoring in psychology who acted as a stand-in for Jill on the Tool Time set.
