Last Man Standing Cancelled :(

This make me so sad. Loved this show!

I've read both things - because of the money and because of his politics. I am willing to be it was both things. The funny thing is I watched because of his political leanings!

Well, DH will be more sad than I.

I think it's ridiculous for Tim Allen to claim it's being cancelled due to his politics. That's absurd. It simply got too expensive to make as many shows do in later years. Two Broke Girls was also just cancelled after it's sixth season. Totally opposite kind of show, and also pretty popular.

Some people really love to feel persecuted, I think. Funny because they are usually the ones hollering about others being "snowflakes" and too sensitive.

I think the claim about it being due to his politics is just a way to keep his name in the headlines. The right leaning people I know are all up in arms about it. As soon as someone presents logic, they get nasty and call them libtards.

Since I don't watch sitcoms, I have no opinion about the cancellation.

The days of shows lasting for more than 8 seasons are coming to an end. Look at NCIS. They probably keep their costs down by killing off regular characters. Supernatural just killed off several recurring characters. In sitcoms where there is no violence, you either cancel the show or find a way to remove characters.

That's so disappointing! It was one of very few non-sports shows DH enjoys. I read the other day that back in March (I think) contracts had been agreed on for the next season, so I don't think salaries were the issue in the show being cancelled.

I was so looking forward to Evie going to the AFA and seeing more of Kyle and Mandy as a married couple. This past season didn't seem to flow very well, though. I was wondering if we missed a few episodes or they got new writers or something. It just seemed disjointed, and there was at least one episode that didn't seem to make sense with the back story. 

Last Man Standing has reruns all the time on a couple of cable channels, but we've seen them all already.

With LMS over, The Middle and Bull are the only two current shows we watch/dvr regularly (now that the Artful Detective has ended for the season). 

The show was poorly written and the majority of the actors were horrible. Same for 2 broke girls. Lousy shows that went on for far too long.

Here is a full list of renewals and cancellations

I highly doubt it would be cancelled for politics if the show was making good money. Money speaks.

This. It's always about the money. If this was their top show, you better believe it wouldn't get cancelled.

We are going to be sad to see it go, especially DH, who loves this show. We both can see past the political to the funny. I honestly think there is a good balance of it on the show. It shows both sides of the politics in my opinion. So, I'm guessing it got the cut because of money. However, a friend of mine thinks it got the cut because the liberal movie/TV makers don't want even a smidge of conservatives views.

A Facebook friend posted a link about this to a very right wing blog. It said it was a shame they had to cancel a show about blue collar workers. They are far from blue collar! He's the head guy of advertising or marketing at a major outdoor retail store. His wife has at least a masters in geology and worked for a private company until she tried being a teacher. They live in Denver; where homes are priced very high and they live in a nice one.

I agree it was becoming weaker. I thought it ran it's course.

My hubby belongs to the Scottish rite and Murdoch is filmed at the Scottish rite building here in my city. This year, we are going to go down and watch some of the episodes being filmed.
