Last Man Standing

I consider myself a moderate but I like the show. FYI all the reruns are on Netflix. That's the only way I watch any series these days. Can't deal with all the commercials.

What's it about? I don't watch much TV these days. Never heard of Tim Allen. Never heard of the show.

Tim Allen started out as a stand up comic, and he had a couple big cable hits with his Men Are Pigs and Tim Allen Rewires America showtime specials back in the early 90's that developed into his TV show, Home Improvement, in which he played an inept handyman host of a tv show who's credo of "More power!" inevitably resulted in less than the desired outcome. He had a wife and three boys, and an elusive neighbor that often combined for mild hijinx of a a family friendly variety and usually concluded with a positive lesson of some sort.
Last Man Standing is pretty much the same formula with three daughters and him managing a sporting goods store. In both shows he was conservative and got in a few digs at the liberals; it ramped up a bit on the latter show with positive statements regarding Trump but it was by no means a politically oriented theme to the show, just some passing observations.
And yes, Tim did have some drug problems and spent a few years at the graybar hotel back in the 80's, as the wankers-digest spamming horse@#$ monger will probably be along to gleefully proclaim in a bit.

Watched a couple reruns tonight just to see what it was. A lot like Home Improvement a bit updated and improved.

Not one I would normally watch but it had an overall uplifting theme.

Funny how anything and everything the conservatives don't like gets blamed on the "liberals". Even though the studio gave their own unrelated reason for cancelling, the conspiracy oriented right knows "the real reason". Does that sound familiar? And, of course, the "real" reason is always, the liberals. How convenient to always have a bogeyman to blame for everything and to know all about the inner decision making process at ABC.

Now, it seems, the petitioners think the studio will bow to pressure and re-instate the show. Because, you know, the petitioners have a lot of power over a private company and think they have the right to tell that company what to do. The petitioners want to tell the company what they must broadcast. Hmmm. So much for "free enterprise". Here's a suggestion if you don't like the programming, turn the TV off or change the station. Why try to be a nanny and dictate to the network? Or expect them to continue under pressure to entertain you? And here is another thought: they are in business to make money. That's the purpose of business. If they can make more money with another show, they will do it in a heartbeat. And why shouldn't they?

The so called conservatives are always playing the moral card or try to blame the liberals for everything, but at the same time talk about getting government off our backs, freedom, private property rights, etc. Oh wait, until their favorite TV show gets cancelled and then it's war and time to force private business to cater to them.

Maybe some of you guys can explain how you can force a company, one that you admittedly don't like, and is run by "liberals", to continue to entertain you, when they don't see profit in it. And while you continue to whine that they are morally wrong and that they are lying to you. I gotta see how this works out. :laughing::laughing:

No politics is one of the reasons I enjoy this forum so much!

Channing Dungey, The CEO and programming director of ABC stated months ago that because of the Donald Trump Presidency, she was rethinking her programming strategies. Last man standing was one of ABCs highest rated/most watched shows yet was cancelled over other far lesser watched programs. Doesn't sound like a conspiracy to me.

Drug problem? Started out as a stand up? That's an interesting spin. Actually the "drug problem" he had was that he "started out" as a drug trafficker. He eventually got caught with almost one and a half pounds of cocaine.

...and then we have to hear about how "liberal" (or libtarded) everything on tv is! I challenge you to turn on the big 4 networks in the evening and not find some show where the authorities (super-cops and their wiz-bang technology) doesn't always ride in and save the day! "We're here to protect you!!" "We will catch you!"

(I call it murder-****. The wingnuts would think it's absolutely disgraceful and the end of society if the forbidden nipple was ever shown, but they love their murder **** with decomposing and mutilated bodies, psychopathic killers, and graphic dissections.)
