What’s going on with Last Man Standing? Deadline reports the FOX TV show won’t return for its eighth season until 2020.
The comedy series debuted its seventh season on FOX last year after being cancelled by ABC. The cast includes Tim Allen, Nancy Travis, Amanda Fuller, Molly McCook, Christoph Sanders, Jordan Masterson, and Hector Elizondo.
Recently, FOX Entertainment President Michael Thorn told Deadline the upcoming season of Last Man Standing will not premiere this fall because the network wanted to pair the sitcom with a similar series. Additionally, WWE’s Smackdown Live will be taking the Friday night slot of Last Man Standing this coming fall.
What do you think? Do you watch Last Man Standing? Can you wait almost a year for the new season?
At least it’s coming back! For that I am greatful. I will continue to watch the reruns on cable.
I love LMS. Fantastic writing & love the dry humor. Too bad Fox thought they should cancel “Cool Kids”. That show was maybe a bit stupid – but stupid humor is better than hate!
Cancel it.
What a really stupid decision. Glad it’s not cancelled but still.
“Cool Kids” was a good pairing, but it was cancelled. Too bad — Grier was hilarious.
At some point, the Cool Kids would’ve self canceled.
If they are cancelling Cool Kids I am so glad
Well I certainly will NOT be tuning into WWE
We don’t watch sitcoms but I had to see what all the fuss was about for LMS and loved it. Now I watch every episode, even the ones archived. The writing is great. So many topics covered and approached with love and humor. Wish I could say my favorite characters but they are ALL my favorites. Truly great blend of charm and spark.
I don’t see why they chose to postpone LMS, why not another program? I just hope this doesn’t lead to cancellation! I love this show!
Not sure what the big deal is… It’s been renew just not premiering in the fall.
Please bring Last Man Standing back this Fall really getting tired of all Networks canceling good shows to make room for Sports crap Fox has already canceled Cool Kids without even giving it a chance
Here is my guess, and it is only a guess. Vince McMahon owns the WWE. He also returns with the XFL football league in 2020 and Fox, (also ABC), are broadcast partners. The WWE is successful and is probably part of the deal with Fox to air football games in yet another attempt to launch a new football league. Currently Fox has nothing to pair “LMS” with and it does not fit with their Sunday lineup.
And a lot of us LOVED the COOL KIDS. I guess all the young idiot college kids don’t think a show about older people is relevant. Just wait till those same kids are our ages!
As one of those young idiot college kids, as you said, I am offended you think just one way! I tried watching the Cool Kids but didn’t find it all that funny, not like Last Man Standing. Doesn’t mean the show isn’t relevant! Maybe don’t assume things and type without thinking first. Thanks for showing me hypocrisy isn’t dead. Shame
I have enjoyed watching Tim Allen for decades! I can do without wrestling! Sad choice. I don’t care for the new Mandy!
G Mom. I feel the same way. Love the show but I miss the old Mandy. Do not like the new Mandy. I wish she would come back because she was funny.
You are kidding me ?? WT.. Wrecking the conservative point of view again.. You had to know when portions of FOX were bought the Demon-Crats would show up.. WOW !!!
Why wrestling that I won’t watch. If Last Man Standing would come back next season I would watch your choice, a viewer or a changed channel— your choice. Why cancel “Cool Kids”? Too bad , I really never missed it.
I think LAST MAN STANDING is the best thing on TV. Everyone in my family watches it too. It seems that the powers that be seem to always get it wrong.
Cancel WWE Smackdown, keep Last Man Standing and get the old Mandy back. Not even a contest.
Greg. Exactly. The old Mandy did not want to come back. I wish she did. Don’t like the new Mandy. Show is not the same without her. She was hilarious. Don’t want no WWE. Seriously
I think “Last Man Standing” is one of the best sitcoms I’ve had the pleasure of watching in my 70+ years. I record everything I watch, because of my age, I watch, fall asleep, wake up, re-wind, watch, etc… If there are several shows ahead of Last Man Standing I always watch it first. I’m looking forward to the 2020 season, although, I wish it would return in the fall instead of having to wait. Note: I love sitcoms, however, I do NOT watch ones where the actors are ‘on the edge’. No one, or at least few, in real… Read more »
