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 LMS, but PLEASE bring Boyd back as a teenager, and take away the Asian girl. Kyle is great in new personna, but new Mandy is still WIP to see if she fits into this amazing cast.
Last Man Standing is still a good family show. There aren’t many left. Please stop making shows with an agenda of sin, and show good shows like this one. If there ever was a time to stop the sinful agenda it is now! Please keep Last Man Standing!
Keep the show. The best sitcom on TV.
Been watching since season 1and have just gotten used to the casting changes and still enjoy all episodes. Please dont cancel
This is a really funny show.
Good clean comedy.
Don’t cancel this show.
PLEASE reconsider and “Don’t cancel this show!” It has been
the only show that I really look forward to each week. It boggles
my mind that the powers that be would consider giving the AX
to such a wholesome program, when there is so much over the
airwaves that isn’t. What in the world are you thinking?
I love Last Man Standing! My husband does also and he doesn’t like sitcoms usually, We tape the show so we won’t miss it, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!
We love Last Man Standing, our family looks forward to watching it each week. Fox would be smart to pick them up again. Please, please pick then up for season 9, the cast and writers are great with wonderful chemistry.
Love this show,! Please don’t cancel. Really enjoy it and I am a woman.
I hope this is NOT true!! I love LMS and definitely don’t want it to end!!!
I really am gonna miss this show. It’s a big mistake I hope another network picks it up, the show is 30 minutes of laughs and lessons,, not sure why it’s being cancelled but it’s a sad loss for us all.
Please renew for another season. I love this program. I can relate to it in so many ways. I always have a great laugh. We all need that today for sure.
It’s a family friendly show! So few on these days. It’s sad to see it go. So rarely I can watch TV with my kids besides 80/90s sitcom reruns.
Look at all the comments from men. Night time TV programs are notorious for women loving them but now a show comes along that men like and they threaten to cancel. I do not understand their thinking.
I’m not a fan of this show, I came to read if Fox finally axed it again.
