![]() Inevitably, this accusation was boiled down into a meme eventually shared by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (a Republican):Īllen described his experience at Trump's inauguration during an appearance on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying that he was "almost afraid" to say he had been at the event. ![]() ![]() And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been cancelled. Last Man Standing is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. In fact, politics is only a secondary part of the show, but one in which many Americans can readily identify. The show is about more than politics though, it is about family. Last Man Standing was not just selling conservative ideals though, as some of the characters in the show are clearly of the liberal persuasion, yet the characters on the show all manage to get along and take care of one another, despite their politically opposed views. It is a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify namely conservative values. Last Man Standing stands out in the sea of network television sitcoms. Tim Allen's personal politics somewhat mirrored the character's, as the former Home Improvement star is a Republican who attended Donald Trump's inauguration. A petition that garnered more than 300,000 signatures on claimed the show was canceled because it was the only entertainment program that was not constantly shoving "liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers":ĭespite consistently high rankings, especially considering the time slot in which it is aired, Tim Allen's show "Last Man Standing" has been cancelled by the network on which it is aired, ABC. Some commentators accused ABC of canceling the show due to its conservative bent: Allen played an outspoken conservative on who often riffed on political issues such as Obamacare on the sitcom.

I really enjoy the show and will miss it very much," one person tweeted. "I’m dreading the series finale of Last Man Standing. The Wrap reports that 2.5 million viewers tuned into the series finale last night - and although reviews were mixed - many took to social media to express how sad they were to see the hit Fox show end. So it really seems like less of a cancellation and more like a group decision to end the show on a high note, and that Tim and the crew did. "We had all considered to end the show after last season, but together with Fox, we decided to add a year so we could produce a full season to create the gentle and fun goodbye," Tim told Deadline. This time around, Last Man Standin g simply ran its course, according to Tim. Unlike when ABC canceled the show in 2017, there isn't any big drama surrounding the answer.
