What’s next for Last Man Standing? Recently, star Nancy Travis spoke with TVInsider about the FOX TV show’s 150th episode and season eight renewal.
The comedy series debuted its seventh season on FOX last year after being cancelled by ABC. The cast includes Tim Allen, Nancy Travis, Amanda Fuller, Molly McCook, Christoph Sanders, Jordan Masterson, and Hector Elizondo.
In the interview, Travis praised Last Man Standing‘s 150th episode milestone, which airs on FOX tonight, April 19th, at 8 p.m. ET/PT:
It is stunning that we made one hundred and fifty episodes. That’s an enormous amount of episodes, and I wasn’t even aware of it until I showed up for the table read and there was a big banner in the room that said, “Congratulations on a hundred and fifty episodes.” It’s a testament to the durability of this show and the fact that people love to watch it and that we keep getting these chances to make it.”
Later, Travis commented on the show’s season eight renewal, saying the show is always hanging by a thread:
Every year we’ve always felt like we were going to be picked up and then it was a nail biter right until the end, and then the one year where we were certain we were going to be picked up is the year we were canceled. … Going into this pickup season, [we] definitely felt confident that the show was going to [be] picked up cause we were doing so well for Fox on Friday, but by the same token, until you actually see it in print [Laughs], it doesn’t matter what anybody says.”
What do you think? Do you watch Last Man Standing? Are you glad it’s returning for another season?
I wish it were coming back this fall and not a year from this fall. I don’t understand why networks do this. They have a great show and audience and they pull this. Take off the dumb reality shows.
I love Last Man Standing! The writing is outstanding and it is a great way to kick off my weekend. Thank goodness it was renewed for an 8th season.
I love Last Man Standing, it’s clever and well written. I really love seeing the relationship between the mom and dad on the show. You almost never see a man who really loves his wife. I love that my husband and I have been married for 39 yrs. in August.
I am very happy that last man standing is coming back
Love the show! I love the relationship Tim and Nancy have. Nancy’s character doesn’t feel the need to punch or hit her husband like some other favorite shows (older…king of queens). I love how they work things out. I watch the older seasons all the time!!! My poor dvd player gets a workout.
Very witty, funny show. Love it.
Greatest comedy
I love this show. Didn’t see it before it was syndicated. Happy it was picked up again. Do wish the original Mandy returned. Understand why not but she did make the character. Love the cast members. Good luck for next 10 years.
I never watched this show when it was on ABC but after the way the show was treated I decided to watch the season on Fox and May I say this is a wonderful show. Now I’m going back to catch the seasons on ABC I missed. Thank you Fox for supporting such a wonderful and funny show
Yes love the show
I love Last Man Standing. The chemistry between Tim and Nancy is amazing. ABC made a huge error cancelling it but I am so glad Fox picked it up. I look forward to the next season. Well done.
Thank God. Love this show. Keep on keepin’ on.
This show helps my husband deal with his crippling disease. Laughter is the best medicine!
ABC was so stupid to cancel this show. Fox now has the gem of TV. Hope they are smart enough to keep it.
Best show ever can’t wait for season 8.
Dido!!!
