Will there be a future for Last Man Standing? Earlier, we reported CMT was in talks to pick up the cancelled ABC TV show. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, CMT has reached a decision regarding the Tim Allen sitcom.
In May, ABC cancelled Last Man Standing after six seasons. 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.
Despite its record of good ratings and successful syndication performance, CMT has passed on Last Man Standing. According to THR, talks between the network and the series’ studio, 20th Century Fox Television, broke down over the show’s cost.
However, the cast of Last Man Standing are still under contract through the end of June, so there’s still a slim chance that the sitcom could be saved.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Last Man Standing? Which network do you think should pick up the cancelled show?
I have no preference as to what channel should pick this up. Just SOMEONE do it. It’s a disgrace how the GREAT shows are cut & the violent ones kept.
I so agree with Bethany. Please CMT pick up Last Man Standing. I watch CMT all of the time. This would be such a bonus for me and thousands of other viewers. Fox Channel could also benefit as well if they were to pick up this sit com. It is fair and balanced. Both sides of most issues are brought forth in this show. Therefore, being fair and balanced! I truly love this show and would be so happy if their seasons continued. Please someone, pick it up, make money, and make everyone happy!
I agree SO MUCH with YOU WE NEED TO HAVE THIS GREAT TIM ALLEN’S LAST MAN STANDING FAMILY SITCOM IT’S THE BEST FAMILY SHOW ON T.V. IN 10 YEARS PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ MY COMMENT.CHARLES SCOTT.
I would really love it if CMT could please pick up Last Man Standing. I love this show and want to watch this show so much. I want to see new episodes on season 7. Please renew this show for a season 7 and more seasons. Our if CMT can’t renew it then please have the Fox Channel pick it up. This show needs to be back on tv and should of never been cancelled. Please renew this show on cable on s different channel. I love this show and want it back on cable tv. Please renew it.
Really hope they continue this show!! It is the best! And the writers need to stay on the same format because that’s what made the show enjoyable. It is down to earth!! The entire cast is just fantastic!! Praying daily the show continues! Already boycotted ABC for canning the show tho…shame on them!!
Keep it going great show!!!
I hope it will continue. It is a great show!
I sure hope last man standing will continue. What a travesty if it does not!!
Yes – it might be an expensive show – but it is well-liked! Just read all of the comments that appearred when it was cancelled. A good show is worth it! Advertisers will pay for the programming because they know people are watching! Where are the head honchos who are supposed to know what people are watching? This is a no-brainer. Continue this sitcom and you will reap the rewards…..show ABC that they don’t know what they are doing. I will not watch them anymore…..and neither will my family!
They better a b c was stupid for getting rid of it! It was fri number one comedy and it is something my famil can enjoy. Very hard to find FAMILY shows on without all the realty garbage (then again I do like survivor t a r and ignore brother
It would be great if CMT would pick up LMS, great show & cast.
NBC could use a hit comedy, if only to break up their Chicago-dominated lineup. Their comedy attempts in recent years have mostly been giant failures.
Maybe Hallmark can pick it up.. they already air the reruns…
how about in Canada? Here in Canada, it could be on #City
I’d really like to see Last Man Standing be saved – it is one of THE funniest, as well as well written, and the characters are so well acted. Please someone save it.
Please, Please, Please someone pick this show up!!!!
Please!! Someone pick it up!! Love that show
