Maybe it is because the show is called Last Man Standing, but ABC seems to like to renew this one last almost every year. In fact, Tim Allen broke the news on Twitter at 10:58pm that it would be back for a sixth season, hours after all the other shows on the network received their fates.
Hopefully his oldest daughter on the show saw his Tweet because earlier in the day, while all the other shows were finding out their futures, Amanda Fuller said on Twitter, “And how ridiculous is it that I’m am scrolling Twitter to found out our fate right now?!” Welcome to the year 2016, that is how actors find out if they will have a job in a few months or not.
When it comes to the renewal, I am so happy about it. This show gets better with age, and one of the rare comedies that looks at all sides of political story. That and it always makes laugh.
