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?
Love the show, big fan since day one. Funny, and we all need more laughter in our lives.
Love this show!!!! One of the best on tv!
I really enjoy the show. I am watching reruns on hulu now. One of the best shows on.
I really like this show. It deals with everyday life events that can be difficult to handle and works through them with love and laughter. Such a great of characters with different thought processes. It lets you see things thru many prospectives. Keep going please, we need more shows like this!
I am one fan asking you to continue Last Man Standing. It’s one of the only sitcoms my husband will watch with me! Last man Standing is a great, well rounded show that I really love! It’s my favorite. Please keep it going.
Really love this show. Likeable characters. Great casting. Even though some of the original sisters have left. The husband/wife dynamic between Mike and Vanessa is hilarious.
Please renew; love this show
Don’t cancel the show it’s one of the only good shows on TV anymore
Love this show….more please!
1. I’d like to see a season 8 finale.
2. I’d really like to see the show get renewed for season 9!
We love this show please don’t cancel it…..Renew big time
I know a show can’t go on forever but in this environment fox could do right by the fan’s and end the series right if they aren’t going to renew or do not know when hollywood can start back up.
Really like this show, please don’t cancel it! Renew, Renew! Renew!
This is the ONLY current show I watch on TV.It never fails to make me laugh.It’s not just light humor but makes you use your mind sometimes.
Love this show hope it’s not canceled. Don’t know why all great shows get canceled but junk stays on. Hope Fox cares about what fans want.
I think it’s the best sitcom out there…please please don’t cancel it
I love this show. Likeable characters and well casted. Even though it has lost a few of the original sisters. The husband/wife dynamic between Mike and Vanessa always keeps me coming back.
