Ep 21. Much Ado About Nana

In Home Improvement season 2 episode 21 entitled Much Ado About Nana, the Taylor family welcomes Tim's grandmother, Nana (played by Marietta DePrima), into their home for a visit. However, Nana turns out to be much more than they bargained for.

From the moment Nana arrives, she is critical of nearly everything in the Taylor household, from the decor to the food. Her abrasive personality puts a strain on the whole family, with even Tim (played by Tim Allen) struggling to keep his cool.

Meanwhile, Jill (played by Patricia Richardson) is trying to tackle a project of her own - building a puppet theater for Mark's (played by Taran Noah Smith) birthday. However, her plans are thwarted by Tim's constant interruptions and Nana's criticisms.

As tensions rise, Tim turns to his usual coping mechanism - humor. He tries to lighten the mood by constantly cracking jokes and making fun of Nana's quirks. However, this only seems to make things worse.

Finally, things come to a head when Nana tries to bring her own food into a restaurant, leading to a confrontation with the manager. Tim and Jill are forced to intervene and smooth things over, but the incident only highlights the fact that Nana may not be fit to travel or stay with the family for extended periods of time.

Overall, Much Ado About Nana is a humorous and heartwarming episode that explores family dynamics and the challenges of dealing with difficult relatives. Tim and Jill's dynamic is as charming as ever, and Nana's cantankerous personality adds a new layer of humor to the show.
