Patricia Richardson Reveals 'Home Improvement' Ended Over Equal Pay Dispute
TL;DR
Patricia Richardson revealed that "Home Improvement" ended after its eighth season due to a significant pay gap between her and co-star Tim Allen. Despite being offered $1 million per episode, Richardson declined to continue, citing a desire to spend more time with her family and dissatisfaction with the pay disparity. Her proposal to be paid equally and receive an executive producer credit was rejected by ABC, leading to the show's conclusion. This decision caused tension between Richardson and Allen, although they later reunited on his series "Last Man Standing."
