Despite High Ratings, ABC Cancels Trump-Friendly Sitcom 'Last Man Standing'
Even though it had been dumped on Friday nights, the Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing enjoyed ratings that Deadline describes as "very respectable for any night and especially Friday[.]" Every week, the half-hour comedy, one of the very few aimed to appeal to America's heartland, won its time-slot in the all-important demo, including 6.4 million overall same-day viewers. Deadline further adds that "[w]hile most returning shows were down year-to-year 20-30%, LMS was virtually flat, off just by 5% in total viewers and adults 18-49[.]"
Those are very impressive numbers for a show that has been around for six full seasons.
But that is not all!
Last Man Standing was ABC's Friday anchor, meaning a show that could not only be counted on to win the night but one that kept viewers tuned in to whatever shows came after. Anchors are also crucially important when it comes to launching new shows.

Not surprising. Tim Allen came out as a common sense MAGA Trump supporter.
ReplyDeleteLiberal biased media once again at work. Shame. Real shame.
Pitiful people in pitiful jobs doing pitiful things to pitiful audiences.
ReplyDeleteI'll quit watching their drivel even though I'm at about 2 hours a week now. Liberalism is definitely a strong disease....
Fn liberals.
ReplyDeleteThey will replace it with an idiot man/boy with a beard and man-bun, who loves Rosie, Hillary, and also watches Ellen, living in his parents basement, who's best friend is a gay man that also happens to be the Mayor of the crummy town they both live in.
ReplyDeleteBoy-bun😂
DeleteI have never seen a real man with a bun.
The more I read all the BS the more I am thankful for Trump. Maybe if there were some "F" words/or rap music or hating anything that makes you feel less then you are. Get up, get out and get moving. Leave the thinking to the people that can. (map)
ReplyDeleteHollywood hates middle America.
ReplyDeleteBut yet Samantha Bee is allowed and Stephen Colbert not fired yet
ReplyDelete3:38 AM, and most people hate Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteHe had the three C's AGAINST him Conservative, Christian, Caucasian. Can't be those in America.
ReplyDeleteThe liberal nut jobs keep me laughing everyday. And, I love it when the chronically unemployed chime in with their wisdom. Tell me again how 0bama got you a job?
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe it! That's my favorite show on tv - just won't watch ABC anymore at all.
ReplyDeleteABC will replace with another gay-centric show, or a multi-racial relationship show, in keeping with their liberal agenda. Fox should go after the show and take the viewers with it.
ReplyDeleteBoycott ABC!! Plain and simple!

ReplyDeleteIt is a Fox show. ABC picked it up from Fox. Now that the contract is over they didn't bother to renegotiate. I guess they want people to watch Modern Family. I have never and will never watch that smut.
