That show sucks major ***.

Did you forget these**

That show sucks major ***.

That show is great

That show is great

I agree. Tim Allen is funny and the show is great. Of course a conservative in Hollywood in the hate filled leftist Hollywood these days has no chance of staying on the air.

Seems like someone would pick it up. TBS or another cable channel. Perhaps even Netflix. They have picked up other shows that have been canceled. As far as the show is concerned, I have watched a few reruns when nothing else was on. So so at best.

I was the same way. Then I started watching it from the beginning on Netflix. Now i like it a lot more.

Fox might. And not, that's not a comment on the Fox Corporations politics. They actually own the show and it's leased by ABC to produce and air. So, any ancillary income from streaming or syndication did not go to ABC. It went to Fox. They didn't have a monetary interest to keep it going any longer (shows on that long tend to see huge spikes in actor salary). Fox, however, might have enough of an interest.

I found this out with a quick google search by the way. Surprisingly easy to do.

Not sure if "Second Highest Rated CBS Sitcom" is really that good, but if it is and Fox doesn't have a strong show in that timeslot, you You'd think Fox would take it and put it in the same time slot.

It was on for 6 seasons. How is that equivalent to 'no chance staying on the air'? 6 seasons of a drama or comedy on a major network is a good run at this point.
Agree that it had good ratings still though. Perhaps, as mentioned, itll be picked up elsewhere.

 

[Sutterkane]

6 seasons of any show is very solid.

 

[The Peeper]

Never heard of it.......

Your persecution complex is showing.

Apparent you misread his post .. the show was cancelled BECAUSE it displayed conservative values, NOT because of ANYTHING else.

I didnt misread the post. He said a conservative has no chance of staying on the air these days due to Hollywood being leftist and hate filled. I pointed out that the show and conservative lasted 6 seasons, thus disproving the claim of it having no chance.

Your persecution complex is showing.

From the article:

“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,” the petition says. “And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been cancelled.”

Then from the president:

The popular series was abruptly canceled on Wednesday after six seasons on the air. ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey defended the decision in a press call Tuesday, citing business and scheduling conflicts, and denied that politics influenced the cancellation.
“I canceled Last Man Standing for the same business and scheduling reasons I canceled The Real O’Neals, Dr. Ken, The Catch, American Crime,” Dungey said, according to Deadline. “It was challenging because it was a steady performer but when we made the decision not to continue with comedies on Friday that’s where it landed.”

What a load of horse crap. I understand you want us to whistle past the graveyard, but that time has passed. People are waking up.

You snowflakes really freak out when everyone doesn't stop what they are doing to cater to you.

Pretty incredible performance for the show if its the second highest rated CBS Sitcom given it actually airs on ABC.***

SHART

 

[Hump4Hoops]

A quote from a Brietbart article holds no water.

Your bold text is merely an extremely bias opinion, rather than fact.

Shows get cancelled for all sorts of reasons, including stupid ones, all the time. The fact that Tim Allen is an openly conservative mainstream actor makes it really easy for some to blame that any time something bad happens. This is like people blaming ole miss's NCAA troubles on the fact that Freeze is openly Christian.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

No dice, pal. Those were quotes directly from the president, who couldn't give a straight, logical answer. But, at the end of the day, we know it's about money - ABC was probably threatened with pulled sponsorships from left-leaning organizations.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

If there were really a conspiracy against conservative actors, why would Kelsey Grammer, Gary Sinese, Patricia Heaton, Tom Selleck, the Duck Dynasty family, etc., be successful?

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Are you being dense on purpose?

I obviously meant the breitbart quote you bolded. The quote from the network president was a pretty standard, dull corporate answer.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I've got no dog in the hunt,

and generally couldn't give a ****, but if you think that conservatives/Republicans aren't looked down upon in Hollywood, then you're just blind.

 

[mstateglfr]

You snowflakes really freak out when everyone doesn't stop what they are doing to cater to you.

Was this meant to be a response to who you responded to? Was it meant for someone else in this thread? Was it just a general 'get off my grass' complaint?

What snowflakes are you even referring to?

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

yawn. money. shareholders. trolls feeding stupid people. same sh*t different day

 

[CochiseCowbell]

It is a very under-rated Bruce Willis movie. Christopher Walken turns in a great performance as Hickey. The town sheriff is the crazy guy from The Burbs. A really good flick.
