What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, Last Man Standing follows straight-talker Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), a man surrounded by women. While this sporting goods store marketing guy is blessed with common sense, Mike is a little low on what some call political correctness and others call manners. Also starring are Nancy Travis as Mike’s wife, Vanessa; Molly Ephraim as daughter Mandy; Kaitlyn Dever as daughter Eve; Amanda Fuller as daughter Kristin; Jordan Masterson as Kristen’s beau, Ryan; Flynn Morrison as grandson Boyd; Jonathan Adams as neighbor Chuck Larabee; Christoph Sanders as co-worker Kyle Anderson; and Hector Elizondo as bossman Ed Alzate.
Season Six Ratings

On May 10, 2017, Last Man Standing was cancelled. Could it be picked up elsewhere? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Last Man Standing is still performing solidly for ABC. In addition, the sitcom does well in syndication. In first run, Last Man Standing typically wins its Friday night timeslot in the coveted 18-49 year old viewer demographic. The comedy series has also been outperforming the sophomore season of Dr. Ken, for which it serves as lead-in. It seems likely ABC will renew Last Man Standing for a seventh season, as long as the cast is willing and production costs are affordable.
5/10 update: ABC has cancelled Last Man Standing after six seasons.

Last Man Standing needs to be renewed every Season.
bye bye ABC—let the Boycott begin!
Love the show!!! Don’t understand how Dr. Ken got renewed with lower ratings and Last Man Standing did not. Seems to be inconsistent renewal standards on ABC. I really hope some other network picks it up!!! Seems to be a bias on their part.
My family loves Last Man Standing. My husband tapes every episode. Love the conservative viewpoints and also very funny. It is a show that reminds me of my family and now it is being cancelled. Very disappointing . Tired of ABC’s liberal approach in their presentation of the news and shows such as The View. I think I need to boycott watching ABC!
I love Last Man Standing and I am liberal and not a christian, but it was a funny show. Who gives a crap about the politics on the show, it is a television show. Why is it so hard for people to accept anything that contradicts their beliefs. This show totally contradicts my beliefs, but I am able to accept that not everyone believes as I do, and I don’t let that affect anything. I am really bummed this show is cancelled.
i love last man standing and it should have never been cancelled I think they are fools for canceling it and they need to bring it back and I mean now
Love last man standing and extremely disappointed in decision!! Show values are old fashioned and solid and are great!! Can ABC give a more detailed reason why?? Know people on the left find it funny too. Hopefully politics isn’t the answer here.
I read that it was because of the political stuff, which is ridiculous. It had really good rating, especially for airing on Friday night.
ABC cancelling Last Man Standing must be due to their leftist political propaganda. It is a great show that depicts how real Americans feel.
I love last man standing. Please bring it back.
I won’t watch any TV programming that displays liberal philosophy. It’s my policy to turn it off.
I simply cannot believe ABC has cancelled this show. What is the justification for this with its high ratings? One can only conclude that rumors about its conservative angle has EVERYTHING to do with this. Shame on ABC !! Maybe another network will see a golden opportunity and pick it up.
Last man standing was the funniest show on TV. My Friday night lineup….what is wrong with these TV execs. Something very wrong here!
In my opinion, LMS was cancelled simply because it is about the only conservative show on TV! Frankly, I am disgusted that virtually all sitcoms today are neo-liberal. This was the last ABC show that we watched so goodbye to ABC and good riddance!
This sucks. This was one of the best shows on TV I was looking forward to maybe Kristen and Ryan having another baby maybe and Kyle and Mandy getting pregnant possibilities were endless
I hope some other network picks it up! for ABC to cancel because they are upset about the content, so what! What is happening the free speech, Oh i guess if you own the network, then you can do what you want. Sorry ABC, I hope you loose a lot of viewers….I’m gone….
Very disappointed in the network. Conservative views are not as welcomed as liberal views. Please bring it back. It’s a good show. Finally a show about a conservative Christian family. Liberal Media Strikes Again. Why can’t we have some semblance of normalcy on television? Why do you keep foul mouthed comedians and talk show host? What is wrong with Christian Ideals?
My husband and I love “Last Man Standing” and are disappointed to hear it is being cancelled. Tim Allen is hilarious. We love the rest of the cast as well. We don’t watch any other sit-coms, just this one. I hope another network will pick it up.
