Last Man Standing

[coldsteelva]

For those that may not have heard, after giving the old Binford Tools axe to Last Man Standing, ABC is rebooting 'Roseanne' - yes...that ONE.

.... the snowflake (delicate and white) demographic who feels their way of life is under attack.

Dang. This is the reason I stay out of the Friendly Politics forum. Serenity Now.

Yup, that forum is full of extreme leanings.............Coby is a good example of it.

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

Ha, ha, ha. It's only "political" when someone's viewpoint isn't the same as yours?!! :laughing:
Posts #1, #5, #7, #10, #11, #13 & #16 all refer to a political stance, but yet you single me out?!! :laughing:

Sorry snowflakes, I'll let you have your safe zone back.

... 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:

I know, right? Can't people just let other people do what they choose that's best for them?

Next thing you'll see is forcing people to bake cakes for people they disagree with! If not they'll take everything you've worked for.

Oh well, Tim can always make big money doing commencement addresses in San Francisco, et al.

Read an article this morning about Jimmy Fallon being under fire for not being political enough. Ratings dropping and getting all kinds of flack on twitter for the fact he was nice to Trump during an interview. Said he tries to keep the Tonight Show from being politically slanted and likes to joke about anything and everything funny.

Nope, the posts you bring up talked about liberal and conservative in general. You put it unnecessarily over the top. matter of fact, I think you used '*******' before anyone else. And why would you assume I am conservative? I didnt say anything one way or the other to indicate a political leaning - I merely commented on an immature post.

I think I referenced "extremes". Again, in this thread, I think you may be a good example of that (over the top.........insulting).

I think a couple of things are beyond dispute here. First, most TV and virtually all Hollywood media is created and owned by people who describe themselves as liberal or even very liberal. The content of what they produce and distribute reflects that ideology. This has nothing to do with right wing perceptions. It is what it is. The second thing is that the networks are their own entities and free to do what they choose. If they did not like Last Man because its ideological 'bent' was different from those who pull the strings, it is their prerogative to ditch the show whether it was successful or not. The third thing is that observing that a liberal network is ditching a show that is making money is not the product of a wingnut conspiracy. Again, it is what it is.

So, bottom line is that it is CBS's prerogative to do whatever they want with a show they own for whatever reason they want to. The problem comes when CBS tries to posture as an unbiased entity. They are not required to be unbiased and it is perfectly fine for them to be biased. But it is laughable hypocrisy for them or anyone else to suggest that they are not biased or that such bias does not enter decisions such as this. That would just be silly.

 

[widefat]

Amen! And the same goes for ABC.

The show is well written and well casted IMO...the characters are unique and entertaining...

Yet it's funny that in a nation that accepts Affirmative Action and equalities for anything or anybody...why is not half the air time of broadcast media equally split between liberal and conservative content?

Careful....you'll be accused of wingnuttery.

We live in a deeply divided nation. We also live in a nation of deeply held convictions coupled with unprecedented ignorance. No one can lay claim to openmindedness and tolerance anymore. At least that ship of hypocrisy has sailed. Now we know its all about "my slice of the pie" and "hurray for my side". We can put all pretense of occupying the high ground aside. Its all just a big ole pig sty now.

I have read your posts and am impressed with your insight and maturity. I do not, however, share your degree of pessimism. I have seen evidence that we have some very bright, right thinking youngsters coming up and believe that there is hope. Ignorance seems to be the main problem; and as long as the liberals are in control of our education system, we do have a lot to overcome.

I enjoy the TV show "Last Man Standing". I have always been a fan of Tim Allen. The show is the complete opposite of most shows on television. It is a good clean moral show that is about as anti-liberal as I am. ABC has decided to cancel the show after 6 seasons despite the very high ratings. I have signed a petition along with over 200k others so far and I would like to ask any of you folks that are fans to sign as well.

Petition * ABC Network: Save Tim Allen'''s Show "Last Man Standing" * Change.org

If you are interested in watching the show, reruns are aired on the Hallmark channel and on CMT.

I signed it too.

And silly they are. Ask any left wing journalist if he is biased and he will tell you "no, no way!' Of course it is what it is as you say, but they will go to their grave not admitting who they are and how they perceive the world.

I watch it every weekday at 6:00 pm. So I signed the petition.
