History Channel's "Assembly Required" reunites Tim Allen and Richard Karn 30 years after the premiere of "Home Improvement.".
If Tim Allen and Richard Karn reuniting for a reality building competition reminds you of their classic sitcom "Home Improvement," that's the point.
History Channel's "Assembly Required" (premiering Tuesday, 10 EST/PST) lets the pair "be exactly like we were in 'Tool Time,' " the DIY show-within-a-show in ABC's former hit sitcom "Home Improvement," Allen told a Television Critics Association panel last week.

Each of the 10 episodes features three contestants building from their home shops, with Allen and Karn, both executive producers, popping in virtually to comment on the competition across two challenge rounds as Wilkerson explains the intricacies of the inventions.
