Friday’s can be a tough night to attract an audience but ABC’s Last Man Standing survived last season. Will the ratings grow or fall in season three? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth year? Time will tell.
The Last Man Standing sitcom stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a manly man who’s surrounded by family and friends who challenge his conservative ideas. Allen is joined by 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.

What do you think? Do you still like the Last Man Standing TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Please renew this show. My whole family loves it. It’s one of the few things that all 6 of us can do together! We really enjoy Friday Last Man Standing half hour. We plan our dinner around it. Please continue it.
Please renew LAST MAN STANDING. It’s such a good clean show, and so funny. According to USA TODAY, this show has pretty solid ratings. Higher than DATELINE.
this is our favorite show after ” the middle” on an other provider. Please continue.
Love the show, and I am not their target demo. Numbers are pretty solid considering the fact that the network never advertises or promotes it. Think of how well it would do on another night/time slot or paired with another quality sitcom.
I really like the diversity of characters, not the same old same old. Tim Allen’s character has great conservative values and is really funny. I enjoy the show and hope it continues for m any more seasons.
Best show on TV today. Mike makes great points about our society and it is the type of show America should be watching.
Such a good show. One of our favorites! Wish it wasn’t on Friday nights though.
Last Man Standing is the only comedy on TV we watch. If you cancel it, it will give us another hour of reading. Don’t let the only good comedy on the air go!
This latest episode was great. I enjoyed it without Kristen’s boyfriend and Boyd.
This is by far our families favorite sitcom and we enjoy watching it every
Friday evening when it’s shown. We record it and watch each episode several times
because it’s so funny and the characters are absolutely the best. I’m surprised that it
isn’t more popular with most other families. It’s the most decent sitcom in ages !
Best comedy show on TV right now if they cancel it will be for political reasons LOL
Awesome show! Keeps me and my wife laughing the whole half hour. We have went through the first two seasons on netflix not telling how many times and can’t wait till season three is on it. I really hope they renew it. Maybe change night of the week and take off one of their shows that really sux. They have a lot to chose from. Tim Allen is even better as Mike Baxter than he was as Tim Taylor and that is saying alot. But it is the honest truth!!!!
it a great show, if they cancel last man standing, i will cancelnetwork tv. the ratings are b.s., they dont tak in account that we dvr just about everthing we watch. what about commericals’ we dont watch them, so cancel that trash!
@leslee brown
Actually, they do take into account who DVRs and watches what. It’s easily trackable these days.
I love love this show! !! I think it should be renewed! It hard to find a good show anymore.
I just discovered the show on Netflix Feb. 2014. I had given up on the major network TV shows because most of it is junk. Last Man Standing is a quality show that should be kept. I thought all the good writers were dead, but this show prove to me that some still exists.
It doesn’t help that it has a Fri evening time slot. That’s not really prime time.
