  • Albert "Al" E. Borland is a fictional character from the TV sitcom Home Improvement played by Richard Karn. He is portrayed as Tim Taylor's un-hip sidekick on the show-within-a-show Tool Time. He is also one of Tim's closest friends. According to the season 1 DVD, the character's original name is supposed to be 'Glenn'. Al has many similarities to Norm Abram, the co-host/carpenter of real-life home improvement show This Old House. Much like Al, Norm is bearded, always wears plaid flannel shirts, gives safety warnings before starting a project, has an encyclopedic knowledge of tools, and is usually unflappable if something goes wrong. Whereas Norm is a master carpenter, Al was introduced as a master plumber in earlier episodes of the series. With his dry wit, Al serves as the show's (both Tool Time and Home Improvement) straight man to the wackier, more outgoing Tim.
