== Syndication ==
In the United States, ''Home Improvement'' began airing in broadcast syndication in September 1995, distributed via [[Buena Vista Television]] (now [[Disney–ABC Domestic Television]]) and continued to be syndicated until 2007, in a manner similar to ''[[Seinfeld]]'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]'' after they began airing in broadcast syndication. Episodes of ''Home Improvement'' were not aired in order of their production code number or original airdate.  On cable, the series started airing in 2002 on superstations [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] and [[WGN America]].  It later ran on [[Nick at Nite]], and its sister network [[TV Land]], and eventually the [[Hallmark Channel]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hallmark Channel Acquires Rights to 1990s Comedy HOME IMPROVEMENT |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Hallmark-Channel-Acquires-Rights-to-1990s-Comedy-HOME-IMPROVEMENT-20130321 |website=broadwayworld.com |access-date=20 October 2021}}</ref> The show's creators brought a lawsuit against Disney in 2013 alleging that the latter sold the syndication rights for the show at "well below market value" including offering the syndication rights in New York for "no monetary compensation".
