Over the past few years, lots of Friday night sitcoms have been cancelled by ABC — shows like Cristela, The Neighbors, and Malibu Country — but Last Man Standing has survived. Will this Tim Allen sitcom hold up in the ratings and survive to see a sixth season? Stay tuned.
On Last Man Standing, Mike Baxter (Allen), marketing director of the Outdoor Man sporting goods stores, continues to stand his ground in a household of women. The rest of the cast includes Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders, Flynn Morrison, Hector Elizondo, Kaitlyn Dever, Molly Ephraim, and Nancy Travis.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

This show is one of the last bright light of network comedy in America. It would be a mistake to cancel it. I have been a fan of this show for years, and watch it every day in reruns. Time Allen and the cast are exceptional. The writing is superb, funny and smart .
