Last Man Standing has always been a great show. Since ABC cancelled it and it gained new life at FOX, I am sorry to say that the show seems to have lost its way. Tim Allen is really good on the show, and thumbs way up to Jay Leno's cameos. But Hector Elizondo's character is barely there anymore, and Molly Ephriam has been replaced. And Eve isn't around much. So you are left with something which turns out to be less than the sum of its parts, not more. How disappointing.

Home improvement was easily the greatest sitcom of the 90s and Def a top ten all time plus it made tim allen into a great comedian actor he makes last man standing a great show and I enjoy the political jokes and religious references Mike Baxter is just like myself in every way except the job at outdoor man I'm also glad they are bringing in home improvement actors as guest stars on the show a great reunion of sorts for us die hard home improvement fans I hope this show will be renewed for many years 2 come
