1998 had to be a difficult year to choose. You also had Will & Grace as well as That 70s Show.

Hard to believe that Patricia Richardson had only just given birth 5 weeks before the premiere episode of Home Improvement was shot.

[olleselin]

OMG so before Tim Allen was the voice for Buzz Lightyear he was starring in "Home Improvement"!

Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.

Home Improvement ended 25 years ago on May 25, 1999 after 8 seasons

The Sopranos not surprising
At number one. David Lynch admitted he had no actual storyline for Twin Peaks, he meandered around with plots and the network told him they would give him a second season, in which he could ‘wrap things up’. The viewership went down every week from the pilot
