This is a VERY good question! I always accepted his facelessness for some reason, but I dont know why.

I never heard of an episode where he gets seen, but I suppose they would've done it, just as like one of those special episodes, where like in south park you saw kenny's face and so on. I think he's just big on voyeur and he's practicing for the showers. At least that's what I do.

i just remember the episode where they all came out on stage in front of the audience, and even then he was carrying a little fence on a stick.

i think it has to do with the fact that hes kinda like "the voice of reason". you dont have to see his face, but, just know that hes there and he will give you advice when you need it. wow, that was deep.

some TV web site wrote:The other gimmick was the character of Wilson (Earl Hindman), the Taylor family's sage, advice-giving neighbor with many historical, philosophical, and literary works to quote. Tim often confusingly misquotes and re-words Wilson's advice when speaking to Jill or his sons. For reasons that were never explained, half of Wilson's face was never seen on the show, and was instead constantly - and sometimes humorously - blocked by various props, such as fences, masks, trees, and unusual costumes. In the series finale episode his less than perfectly photogenic face was fully exposed. When it came into question whether 'Wilson' was the character's first name or last, he explained that his full name was actually Wilson Wilson, Jr.; his father's name having been Wilson Wilson, Sr. During the show, Wilson is usually working on an unusual project of some sort in his backyard. His usual catchphrase is "Well! Heidi-ho neighbor" when greeting Tim.

I remember seeing his face on more than one occasion.. I don't think it was just the last episode.

Of course, I haven't watched the show for years, so I could be imagining things.
