They went after Tim the Toolman...His new show...which is what they tried to shut down... is 10 times better that Tooltime.
Which new show?
Tim Allen the Toolman was great in The Santa Clause, as Scott Calvin, an ordinary man who accidentally causes Santa Claus (played by Tim Allen’s actual stunt double, Steve Lucescu) to fall from his roof to his supposed death on Christmas Eve.
When he and his young son, Charlie, finish the late St. Nick’s trip and deliveries, they go to the North Pole where Scott learns that he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that he is indeed Santa Claus.
I love that part when Tim suddenly develops a plump Santa midriff.....and orders enough for three people at a company lunch.
The film was released on November 11, 1994, and grossed $190 million. It received positive reviews and has since become a Christmas-time staple among viewers.....and several sequels.
