May 13, 20179 yr http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/05/12/last-man-standing-canceled-despite-high-ratings.html I never watched it. Here is another link: https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/5/12/15628038/last-man-standing-canceled-tim-allen I'm sure the monetary reasons were far greater than the political reasons behind cancelling the show. But I dont know and dont care generally. I just know that if the show made ABC money, they wouldnt cancel.
May 13, 20179 yr I never watched it but I heard it was a very Pro-Trump show ... possibly a backlash to being denied the Oval Office while Russia got to violate national security
May 15, 20179 yr The show had high ratings. Only modern family beat it. Thats huge. ABC said it was canceled for scheduling purposes. So either they canceled it for political reasons, believe they have a show that will surpass it's rating in the same time slot, or maybe the studio that produces the show (it isn't abc) negotiated too hard so abc canceled it. Who knows. It's most likely due to business reasons. While I do believe there is a "culture war" going on, I don't think this show is a victim of it. It was a decent show for what it was, but certainly not special beyond being the only show on tv to display conservative pov. I saw a few episodes but it's Tim Allen and some chick with a really fucking weird haircut that I couldn't get passed. Super hot, but haircut....
May 16, 20179 yr I like Tim Allen but never watched. So much better TV out there than laugh-track sitcoms

May 17, 20179 yr Author The only shows with lower ratings that ABC retained all are produced by ABC and they own the show 100%. Not the case with this one. Pure economics.
May 17, 20179 yr Look at the viewership numbers there, numb nuts. You're using a number based on how many people have nielsen boxes in their homes. Good work as usual. ABC said they decided not to air a comedy on friday nights. A scheduling reason. Seems fine to me. IDC what a private company does with their air time.

May 17, 20179 yr I'm not sure how many times I've trounced you with less effort than you put into your personal appearance, but we're closing in on deleted hillary email numbers by now.

May 17, 20179 yr Probably the weakest attempt to bait anyone, ever. I'd say I look forward to your next trouncing but honestly it's too ez.
