Last year, in Last Man Standing’s first season on FOX, the sitcom got off to a very strong start but the ratings dwindled as the season progressed. Some would argue that cast changes were the cause of the decline. Will the numbers continue to fall in season eight or, will they bounce back? Will Last Man Standing be cancelled or renewed for season nine? Stay tuned.
Airing on the FOX television network, Last Man Standing stars Tim Allen, Nancy Travis, Hector Elizondo, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders, Molly McCook, Jordan Masterson, Jonathan Adams, and Krista Marie Yu. Guest stars include Kaitlyn Dever, Jet Jurgensmeyer, Jay Leno, Terry Bradshaw, Susan Sullivan, Tisha Campbell, and Bill Engvall. The series revolves around Mike Baxter (Allen), the marketing director of the Outdoor Man sporting goods stores and a “man’s man”. His family doesn’t see eye-to-eye with him so it can sometimes be a little tough for Mike to stand his ground and stay in touch with his inner man.

LOVE THIS SHOW
You’ve got to be kidding me, you absolutely need to bring back last man standing. It’s a favorite show my family we watch it every week. I was really looking forward to seeing Eve come back more we like the way you brought the new edition Chinese girl and we also like the implementation of the men everybody’s starting to just go and see if I move on with their lives until take it off now.
Please,please,please continue this show. So funny and entertaining!!
I have enjoyed the show from the start. The writing has been terrific.
I like most of the characters but I seriously miss the original Mandy. Consequently, My interest in the show is waining.
Please please please Renew LAST MAN STANDING! My week depended on it so so much on Friday to help me end my week with a wonderful and funny attitude. It’s been difficult since the show was changed to Thursdays which wasn’t fair to Tim Allen because it isn’t the norm and there have been many other shows or EVENTS or TV Specials that conflict on THURSDAY!!!!!! Starting in January 2020 with Democratic Debates AND SINCE February we have had the Coronavirus distracting us as well So your ratings are NOT FAIR or TRUE for the Tim Allen followers! If you… Read more »
You realize that he’s a coke/crackhead, right? Values? Really? The problem with sitcoms is that they detach you from reality. Most understand that it’s ACTING. It’s not real life!
Maybe start watching some real, teaching television. Better yet, try reading up on the things that interest you.
I honestly think it would be much better with the previous actress who played Mandy. I have watched this show from the beginning and miss that actress along with Eve.
Jen is ruining the show, the character is not funny and the fake accent is cringeworthy.
Please renew and bring Molly and Kat back….
Love this show, but something is missing without Molly and Katilyn, bring them back!!!
RENEW for a 9th Season!
Loved the show, however you the writing this year is not up to par, Really disappointing. We really do miss Molly. She was Mandy. The replacement was and is too different. Wish you could fix this, The exchange student is at times ANNOYING. Please fix this show, I have always loved it until this year.
This is an excellent show, where the father finally has some tracktion as a leader. Bravo! And I’ve actually stopped thinking of Nancy Travis as Becker’s girlfriend! It’s an incredibly well-acted, written, comedy – and you get a sense that the characters care about each other. The slice-of-life here draws us in because it’s so real. Keep it on!
Love this show, please renew! This show is funny and relatable.
Last Man Standing is a great show and Tim Allen is wonderful in this role. I do agree that the new actress that took over the role as Mandy was hard to watch in the beginning but even she grew on me. Renew this FOX! This country needs laughter any way we can get it and this show new or old always delivers.
Deidra, I agree with some of what u say, unfortunately the new Mandy just does NOT fit, we also need Eve back. Tim Allen usually does well with character fits, but he sure screwed up a GREAT cast. Bring back Molly Ephraim!!!
It’s my understanding that because of their ABC cancellation those two actresses moved on and even made a movie, therefore it isn’t Tim Allen’s fault on all counts.
