Why did ABC cancel Last Man Standing? Recently, star Tim Allen discussed the cancelled TV show, Deadline reports.
Despite good ratings and a successful syndication deal, ABC cancelled Last Man Standing last May after six seasons. The comedy centered on Mike Baxter (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 Norm MacDonald’s podcast, Allen revealed he has no idea why ABC ended Last Man Standing and the whole situation “was handled very badly.” The comedian also suggested his political leanings possibly led to the show’s cancellation, saying “There’s nothing more dangerous right now than a likable conservative.”
Though, earlier ABC Network boss Channing Dungey made it clear that Allen’s politics had “absolutely nothing to do with” the end of Last Man Standing.
What do you think? Did you watch Last Man Standing? Would you have watch another season?
only decent show on tv, need to bring it back, maybe another network
“Last Man Standing” was a great show all around! It was nice to finally see a conservative expressing his views on a popular Prime Time TV show. We have liberal garbage shoved down our throats every day on pretty much every single TV show! Even the new “Roseanne” show that they brought back includes a transgender NINE YEAR OLD! Not only that, they get into the subject of “my body, my choice,” but contradict themselves by saying they only believe that when the baby isn’t related to them…WHAT!?? And in just the first 2 episodes they talk politics and bash… Read more »
have not watched ABC since they cancelled last man standing
I love the show, not only was it funny, but had a family moral to it. Tim Allen as the Dad, made his kids see things that our parents did. It should definitely be brought back
Please bring back Last Man Standing. The political jokes were great! If Roxanne can come back with political jokes then Tim Allen certainly can! The show was clean, current, and funny family entertainment.
Loved the show. Only thing to watch on Friday night. The problem is they can’t find another good half hour show to follow Last Man Standing. That is what they need to fix.
Very disappointed the show was cancelled. It was a great family show, funny with a great cast. We watch the reruns everyday. There are so few quality family shows that touch on sensitive subjects or even everyday topics that provide education or open the lines for discussions with younger generations. Regular people facing regular problems…miss the show very much….bring it back!!!
Political bull crap always stands in the way of good stuff.
My husband & I love this show. Yes we are watching reruns on another network. Please bring back new episodes.
I love this show. There are constant hidden gems in the dialogues and Mike’s vlogs. I would continue to watch this show for several more seasons and was very disappointed to hear it’s been cancelled. I’m hoping another network will pick it up.
One of my favorite shows. It’s very bizarre that the network cancelled this show, as it had high ratings, and was so enjoyable to watch. I think it’s politics. I keep hoping that another network will pick the show up and keep it going.
Find and sign the petition boycotting A.B.C. over canceling the best comedy show on television in decades.
What Dungey has done is just noy COOL!
Last man standing my favorite TV show what a wonderful funny family show I cannot understand why such a wonderful show will be canceled I for one would love to get on a list saying please bring back last man standing
Cannot believe this series was cancelled. Only true conservative show available and mainstream cuts it down. Who says we have first admendment rights when we get smeared for speaking truths.
Bring it back please…
