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 the show! Please don’t stop it!
My husband and I love the show! If your going to end it atheist finish it right!!!♧
Please do not cancel Last Man Standing!!! My family and I LOVE this show. We are Big Tim Allan FANS. This show makes our week!
I’m a Last Man Fan from the beginning – when it was topical and funny and had bite.
We were hopeful that it would return intact when Fox rescued it, but it hasn’t been then same (and I don’t mean just the change of actors).
My wife and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE thus show! We look forward to many new seasons!
Love the show, please bring back next season. I am ok with however the show ends this season, just being back next season no matter what. I watch all the new shows and reruns on all the channels. One of my favorite shows, brings smiles and laughter to my life.
LMS is the last well written comedy on television IMHO
This is an amazing and awesome show, and it would be a idiotic dission not to renew it for a ninth season. Shame on you fox for canceling it.
Love love love this show! All cast is great! I always look forward to watching and laughing. We need this show!!
Best show on tv. It’s a shame to cancel.
Love this show,always a great watch! Please keep it on.
I absolutely love lms!! It’s wholesome yet witty.I look forward to it every week.Pray that it stays on TV. We need more shows like this that actually are funny.Its good to laugh!
I loved the show in the beginning the new Kristen is alright but not as good as the original. The new Mandy made me watch it only if nothing else is on she seems to need to work too hard to play the part. The rest of the cast is great
I agree, I definitely prefer the originals for both Kirsten and Mandy. I really don’t care for the new Mandy, she just doesn’t fit the part.
We love this show. Please don’t cancel. It’s the highlight of our week.
Last Man Standing is my favorite show. Such good humor! I look forward to it every week.
