Of course they can't show a conservative character supporting Trump.

“because we really thought it was canceled too soon”

Cancelled too soon. It was their number two show. It was pure politics, there is no other explanation.

[a fool in paradise]

It would date the show and impact longevity for syndicated reruns.

I completely understand and support his decision.

I’m fine with a sit-com that doesn’t discuss politics. I wish there were more.

[longfellow]

Already lost a viewer.

Tim and Patricia Richardson from the "Home Improvement" spoof episode of Last Man Standing.

Dangerously funny!

[ncalburt]

Sounds like a gutted show that will die in one year.
Good work Fox Lefties !
Glad we have no cable .

Can’t see the forest for the trees I guess.. it simply states: ..will not feature any specific indication as to who the main character voted for in the 2016 presidential election — at least, not yet.

Time can be pretty subtle yet obvious and that’s what I expect.

[El Cid]

You’re dead to me Tim.

Just joking. They should try to keep politics out of entertainment shows.

[plain talk]

While Mike Baxter (Allen) is “clearly a conservative character” in outlook, the emphasis is meant to be on how he has a “centrist viewpoint.”

I'll put my spin on it -- being conservative IS politically centrist. I know that is NOT how he meant it.

[joesbucks]

Where are the requests and demand that Allen should stop engaging in politics and just act?

[kempster]

Do they understand who their likely audience will be?

[trebb]

That’s OK - enough that a conservative character can be the lead.....sends a better message than the constant over-politicization of so many TV shows these days.
