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
The sixth season of Last Man Standing averaged a 1.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.41 million viewers. Compared to the fifth season, that’s down by 5% in the demo and down by 5% in total viewers. Learn how Last Man Standing stacks up against the other ABC TV shows.
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.

What do you think? Did you hope that the Last Man Standing TV series would be renewed for a seventh season? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled instead?
Do not cancel this show which is so entertaining without offending one’s intelligence and credulity as so many current shows do. I appreciate the fine comic acting and plausible script writing that can bring a smile of recognition.
I sure hope it continues within this vast TV wasteland of Reality shows and
frenetic but otherwise empty sit-coms.
Definately renew for 7th season!
It wouldn’t surprise me if LMS is cancelled. ABC has this thing they do time & time again, (allbeit LMS has lasted a lot longer than most), they get you hooked on a show and then cancel it (Ex: Malibu Country, which followed LMS and premiered the same year. Cristela followed the 2nd season, only to die a quick death as well. Now after reading this article, I wonder what’s going to happen to Dr. Ken!!). That statement goes for their affiliates too (specifically, but not only) FreeForm (formerly ABC Family). They cancelled ‘Twisted’ after maybe one full season, ‘Ravenswood’… Read more »
