The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Right wing crap agenda. Who knew Tim Allen was so far out there? I hope it gets canceled

Love the show’s new S2 edge. Kaitlyn Dever as Eve is remarkable – a future star.

Last Man Standing is one of the best comedies on TV. It is enjoyable, refreshing & great entertainment. The show is well written and the cast is a delight. Last Man Standing should air for many more years to come.

Tim Allen is awesome in whatever he does. I think he should develope some of the major male characters more — like his brother (Mike Roe) and Richard Karn. The good thing about Home Improvement was you felt the characters had a certain depth and likeable nature that made you want to tune in. The show should be more about the people and less about making a point.

The new daughter is boring. I miss the chemistry and fun of the first season.

Please, please, please get rid of the baby daddy! He’s annoying and a sub-par actor.

I think the show will be cancelled because it has gone down hill from season one. The new character change has destroyed the show and it has gone too political.

I think the show is very clever. The political commentary is well balanced. Good clean humor that has different twists every week. The girls growing up is good. I don’t mind the new girl, it is a change so embrace it. Keep the show on, it is by far the best thing on Friday night. Best of luck!
