*** In Advise and Repent, Tim’s dance floor caused Michelle to sprain her ankle, but it’s arguably far worse what Jill did which was counsel Bert on his marriage and his wife whom she’d never met, while not revealing she’s a student until it was basically forced out of her. Then she’s lightly chastised for it by Wilson and her professor.

** Also it's actually pretty easy to let something like that keep happening due to "Out of sight, out of mind". Probably every time Tim bumps his head he thinks "I gotta do something about that pipe". But also every time he's coming down to the basement it's to do something else, and probably by the time he heads back up he's forgotten about it.

* In the episode "Joke's On You", why was Tim so butthurt over Randy mocking "Tool Time" and his father's accident-prone behavior, with his friend? The show, and Tim himself are frequently made fun of by his other sons, and his wife on a fairly regular basis. Also, Jill points out that Tim tends to insult other people, including Al, so it's a little hypocritical for Tim to be offended. Tim's excuse is that he insults people to their face, while Randy insulted him behind his back. This is a pretty lame excuse as Tim ''does this as well''. Also, when he talks to Wilson he exaggerates the comments Randy made (for example, he says Randy called him an "idiot", although the term he actually used was "goofball"). My problem with all this is the episode seems to head to a moral that it's wrong to make fun of your parents or disrespect them in any way. However, isn't it kind of a BrokenAesop when Tim does this himself to other people in pretty much every episode? The fact that he expects 100% respect, and to not be the butt of any jokes just makes him a full-on hypocrite.

** There's a moment in Season 8's "Whitewater" where you can see a full side-view of Wilson's face, when the bus that Tim called for arrives at the camp grounds. It happens while Tim and Jill are arguing, and Wilson walks by behind Tim. It looks like Tim's arm was supposed to obstruct Wilson's face as he's walking past, since Tim raises his arm to point at the bus at that moment, but he's a pinch to late doing so.

** There's also the risk of injury to consider. Brad's knee injury towards the end of the series put his scholarship in jeopardy; it could just as easily have happened again in a professional game in the UK and put an end to his career. No income, no scholarship, and no degree. At least if it happened at a UCLA game he'd still be registered as a student and working towards a degree, even if his scholarship's gone.

** Even educated parents can lapse into what makes intuitive sense without questioning it logically, but the logic in the difference in punishments for Brad and Randy are still fair. Rules exist to prevent certain actions from inviting certain results; Randy broke a rule, but didn't cause any of the results that rule is intended to prevent by behaving responsibly and then immediately confessed to what he did so he could accept the consequences. Brad broke the rule, caused exactly the results the rule was meant to prevent, and then made it worse by trying to avoid the consequences. In other words: Randy knew what he was doing and handled it maturely, both in estimation of his skills and understanding the consequences of his actions, while Brad handled it childishly and irresponsibly and caused huge problems for others in doing so. Giving Randy the same punishment for a much lesser offense wouldn't have been fair.
** It's also established that Jill presenting herself as a fully-fledged psychologist when she's really a student in the middle of an education (who hasn't completed her degree or gotten any kind of license) and handling problems as if she were is a very bad and potentially dangerous idea.
