Season eight of Home Improvement offers 27 episodes:

1.) "Whitewater." Part Deliverance and part City Slickers, the season opener follows the gang on a whitewater rafting adventure when Jill plans a surprise birthday party for Tim, who'd rather be watching NASCAR in his new recliner.

2.) "Adios." Randy bids adieu after being accepted into a yearlong environmental study program in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, Tool Time holds auditions for a group to write lyrics to the Tool Time theme music.

3.) "All in the Family." Jill's sister and Tim's brother get a little too friendly - and interrupt Tim and Jill's plans to spend some intimate time together.

4.) "Taylor Got Game." Brad must decide whether or not to accept an opportunity to play pro soccer in Europe.

5.) "Al's Fair Lady." Tim comes up with a new community fix-up van and takes Tool Time on the road. Meanwhile, Tim and Jill argue over how appropriate it is for Al to accept a gift from his new girlfriend - a new car.

6.) "Bewitched." It's Halloween, and at Tim's insistence, Wilson dumps his girlfriend, who had claimed to be a witch. When Wilson disappears, guess whom the police suspect?

7.) "Not-So-Great Scott." Jill tells Tim she thinks one of her patients is seeing Heidi's husband, Scott. Unfortunately, Tim accidentally spills this little tidbit of confidential information to Heidi.

8.) "Tim's First Car." While the boys are checking out colleges, Jill decides to try and buy Tim a replica of his first car that finally had to be junked.

9.) "Mr. Likeable." Tim gets jealous when Al gets to star opposite Morgan Fairchild in a TV movie.

10.) "Thanks, But No Thanks." Tim invites his brother Marty and his twins to live with him temporarily when he discovers that Marty and his wife Nancy are separated.

11.) "Home for the Holidays." Randy comes home for the holidays and realizes how much things have changed. Meanwhile, Tim gets into a Christmas light showdown with Al.

12.) "Ploys for Tots." Tim and Jill try to teach Marty the best way to parent when one of the twins keeps throwing tantrums to get her own way.

13.) "Chop Shop 'Til You Drop." When Brad's first car is stolen, Tim and Al go undercover to try to find out who took it and stripped it for parts.

14.) "Home Alone." Tim is alone for the weekend so he can write a book for Binford. However, he is distracted by dreams of fame and fortune. Oprah, Jay Leno, Leeza Gibbons, and Michael Eisner guest star.

15.) "Knee Deep." When Brad messes up his knee tripping over a carpet while Tool Time is filming at the house, Mark blames his dad. Magicians Penn & Teller guest star.
