Last Man Standing is getting ready for a big moment, and one of the members of the cast is talking all about it. Amanda Fuller is not only starring on the (now) season eight finale, but she is directing the episode. This is her first time doing so.
Amanda Fuller revealed that ‘the baby is coming’ during the episode. The season has worked up to that moment. However, the episode was not meant to be the season finale. FOX shutdown production on the series the day before the cast was set to film the actual season finale.
Fuller said the following about the shutdown of Last Man Standing by FOX to TV Line:
“No… That last tape night, I don’t think any of us thought it would be our last. There was no talk of that. It wasn’t until Friday, after rehearsing [Episode 22] for a few days, that we were all like, “Um, how are we going to do this?” And that was only three days after our last tape night, so that’s how quickly [things changed]. We made the decision to not do it in front of a live audience on Friday, but it wasn’t until Sunday night that we actually shut down, the night before we were supposed to shoot it. So it all happened really fast. My dressing room is still intact. None of us, as far as I know, were able to go back and empty out our dressing rooms. Fox was like, “Don’t come back on the lot,” and that was it.”
It is not known if the series will be able to film its true season finale at a later date. Last Man Standing has yet to be renewed for a ninth season.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this series? Are you excited for the finale?
I love love love this show. Can’t wait for more.
Unimaginable that they’d ever think about ending it.
Please keep it on the air. We love it and want to keep it on the air. Please !
Season nine would be a no brainer. What do we want? Season nine! When do we want it? Now. Bring it back…bring it back….bring it back. Sorry, I had a 60’s flashback.
May not be as obvious this season. Tim’s salary is higher, and now un owned.
I love the show. Best sit com on TV.
Love the show. Original. Very funny
Don’t do it!!!
My family loves this program! We hope we get to see the season finale and it is renewed for many more seasons.
My family loves this program. I not only hope we get to see the season finale but also it is renewed for another season!
I love this series. Will miss it greatly if not renewed. Me and my husband have saw every episode at least five times and laugh as hard as the first time. But we do miss the old Mandy
I love Last Man Standing! I hope it stays on for years My husband and I make sure to see it every week!! Paula Edge
I really enjoy Last Man Standing. I hope it is renewed.
Love this show. I watch reruns every night. It’s one of the better shows on TV in the past ten years. The entire cast does an outstanding job.
best show on tv. if fox cancels it, it would’nt be for ratings or changes in cast and show, it’d be cost. here’s HOPING FOX knows we support and love this show! here’s to season 9!
I think it sucks that they are pulling it off the air!
It’s a great show ; more in touch with the reality of what families go through. SMH… VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FOX 5. Keep last man standing !!!
