    This Week on Home Improvement…
    When Bud Harper offers Tim the chance to buy season tickets to the Pistons, he can’t pass up the chance, even though it means laying down $4,000 without consulting Jill. This, understandably, upsets Jill who suddenly transforms into the fabled unreasoning housewife monster who is capable of turning a man to liquid with a single look.
    Tim survives this initial beastial encounter and regales the tale to the guys at the hardware store, who rally behind him as the knight that can slay the unreasoning housewife monster for the good of all men across the land of Manville.
    This week on Grunt Work: Nights…

    This Week on Home Improvement…
    Jill comes home with an A on her recent psychology test and a confident bounce in her step, so when she encounters Burt, the father of Randy’s girlfriend, who explains that his wife drives him nuts when her parents are in town, Jill suggests that maybe his wife has never individuated from her parents. This leads Burt to get in an explosive fight with his wife, and sends Jill into a downward spiral of guilt and self-doubt of becoming a therapist.
