Tim Allen and Richard Karn are the famous duos from 1990s sitcom, Home Improvement.

The lead Home Improvement cast is now all set to reunite after almost two decades with History Channels' building competition. Here's what this is about.

Tim Allen and Richard Karn to reunite for a building show

The new show called 'Assembly Required' will be a competition between some of the best builders from across the USA. They will be judged at their home workshops where the contestants are required to give a new spin to the old household items which need to be fixed. 'Assembly Required' will judge and measure their skills and how they manage to turn something broken and old into something new and fabulous.

Tim Allen and Richard Karn will feature together in 'Assembly Required'. While Allen will star in it, Karn will be the host. They will also talk about the history of the item that requires fixing- who built it and the techniques used in the process. Allen will also double up as the show's executive producer.

Tim Allen released a statement about his attendance on the show which said that today's world is what is known as the 'throwaway society'. Broken things are thrown away and replaced by new ones.

People are forgetting about "repair" and "rebuild". His idea behind 'Assembly Required' is to make people understand the importance of rebuilding or repairing their things. Allen also tweeted about his new show along with a picture from his Home Improvement days with Richard Karn.
