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.
