Last Man Standing canceled by ABC after 6 seasons
Entertainment Weekly ^ | May 10, 2017 | James Hibberd

Last Man Standing has finally fallen.

Tim Allen’s sitcom has been canceled by ABC after six seasons.

The long-running comedy has been something of an anomaly. Due to modest ratings, Last Man Standing has been considered “on the bubble” for a renewal every season since it launched in 2011. Yet the Friday night show always managed to squeak into another year — until now.

The show’s final season averaged 8.1 million viewers and a 1.6 rating among adults 18-49.

No word yet on Last Man Standing‘s time slot companion on Friday nights, Dr. Ken, which is also on the bubble for a pickup.

Ratings were pretty decent, and yet it's been cancelled. Maybe Tim Allen has been blacklisted due to his recent comments about Hollywood's poor treatment of conservatives.

More anti-white male behavior from the hard left. Past time to turn off mainstream entertainment entirely.

Love Last Man Standing. I wait for it on Netflix every year. Perhaps Netflix will pick it up??

The first sit-com for us.

The long-running comedy...

I'd never heard of it. I've run across so much on the internet that I'd wish I'd never heard of (e.g. the Kardashian Koven), that when I see something I'd never heard of, I feel like all is well in my world after all. :)

Cancellation was not expected by a very good / very accurate predictor ,

” Would say #LastManStanding was among the most surprising renewal prediction misses in the reaper’s history. “

LMS is owned by Fox not ABC, so it may not be off TV, just off ABC because it’s too expensive when they don’t own it.

I find this announcement very disappointing. I really liked the show -one of the best sitcoms on TV. 8 p.m. on Friday was a bad time slot. Hopefully someone else will pick it up.

I strongly believe that most shows should end after 5-7 seasons. my reasoning is that between the 5th and 7th season they loose something and I would rather see the talent working on a new project.

here’s to the crew all finding new projects...it was a great show.

I’ve been watching reruns on Netflix. The show after it is the most insipid stupid waste of brain cells ever.

No reports from left on violation of Tim Allens’ free speech rights?

It is worth watching.

I laugh out loud each time I watch an episode.

It streams on Netflix and season 6 should be up soon

Last sitcom I watched on Friday at 8 o’clock was the Brady Bunch.
