Patricia Richardson Reveals 'Home Improvement' Ended Over Unequal Pay

The actress sought equal compensation with Tim Allen, leading to the show's conclusion after eight seasons.

Richardson requested $2 million per episode and an executive producer credit for a ninth season.
ABC offered her $1 million per episode, while Tim Allen was offered $2 million.
Richardson used the pay disparity to exit the show, predicting ABC would reject her demand.
The decision led to tension between Richardson and Allen, who accepted the network's offer.
Richardson has dismissed the idea of a 'Home Improvement' reboot, citing changes over the years.
