As reported earlier, ABC has decided to cancel the TV series Last Man Standing after six seasons. Now, star Tim Allen has reacted to the surprising news.
The comedy centers on Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), a marketing director for the Outdoor Man sporting goods stores who lives with his wife and three daughters. The cast also includes Nancy Travis, Amanda Fuller, Molly Ephraim, Kaitlyn Dever, Christoph Sanders, Hector Elizondo, Flynn Morrison, Jordan Masterson, and Jonathan Adams.
On Twitter, Allen said he was “stunned” that ABC decided to cancel Last Man Standing, which has been a solid ratings performer for the network:
Stunned and blindsided by the network I called home for the last six years. #lastmanstanding

Earlier, ABC chief Channing Dungey explained the decision, saying it was “challenging”:
“Last Man Standing was a challenging one for me, because it was a steady performer in the ratings, but once we made the decision not to continue with comedies on Friday, that was where we landed.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Last Man Standing? Would you watch the show on another network or streaming platform?
Yes, I would watch LMS on any channel.
Did they cancel Archie Bunker because of his politics or opinions? No
LMS should never have been cancelled. I love it and always looked forward to the next season,
The executive that made this terrible decision to cancel a wonderful show should be fired. This is a show that a whole family could watch and enjoy. I will not watch anything on ABC again and neither will my friends
Last Man Standing is a great show and I am still super disappointed in ABC. I guess they cut it for political reasons, as there is no ratings or other option that is even a little logical. I am sure ABC does not care, but I have stopped watching 2 other ABC shows in protest!! I wish Last Man would go someplace else.
Each new season of LMS came as a surprise to me that it was still on the air, given Mike Baxter’s political views.
Last Man Standing is so well written and acted, it is in the class of Mash and Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. So much above the quality of sitcoms today.
No matter what Disney/ ABC claims the reason for cancellation is, it shows the continuing march to the political Left.
We viewers can only hope CMT or Fox will pick up this wonderful show.
Love it!!! Please bring it back!!!
Bring season 7 this last man standing show is the best. Do not cancelled you will be making a big mistake. They have a lot of fans that love this show
Chief Channing Dungey needs to be CANCELLED! She apparently is very in-tuned with Nancy Pelosi and her Liberal attitude…..Feed us More Bull **** and we will finally give in to your No Gun Socialistic Life of the future……………
Last Man Standing would pair nicely with the Goldbergs. Both are good clean family comedies. I would still watch abc for one hour a week if that was the lineup.
I would rather see Last Man Standing then a Will and Grace reprisal. We are getting liberals crammed down our throats. There is hardly a show I will watch anymore. Network loyalty means nothing. I would love another network to pick up Last Man Standing and run with it. CMT was able to successfully bring back Nashville. Give LMS a chance.
