Tim has a dream sequence that parodies the TV show The X-Files (1993). On that show, one of the main characters was named Fox Mulder, often thought because the show was aired on the Fox Network. In Tim's dream, his character's name is ABC Taylor, due to Home Improvement being aired on ABC Network.
Tim Taylor played by Tim Allen would go on and Star in the sci fi movie Galaxy Quest a movie with Aliens that think the TV sci fi show Galaxy quest is actually real and call on the crew to help save there planet.
