I know y'all don't like the character, and I don't blame you. I also know I'm biased 'cuz I think Krista Marie Yu is adorable.
But you gotta admit, it was funny when she assumed she was a good bowler, just because she was good at Wii Bowling. Also Ryan assuming bowling was the same as curling, even though I think shuffleboard is a more natural relative to curling.

I'm not attracted to Krista Yu, but that's probably because I have twin cousins who look very similar to her
Maybe I'll pick this show back up in the summer, when most of my shows go on hiatus.

Apparently Season 9 will be the last. Hopefully Krista Marie Yu will get cast in something else soon. She's a better actress than what she's shown on LMS.

Sounds like it wasn't really cancelled as much as it was a mutual decision to end the show. If that's the case, I'm fine with it.

Really glad this show is ending. It used to be so great, but has stunk since going to Fox. The writing has been just terrible. And there have been too many cast changes/additions for me. Mainly the new Mandy (who I've never warmed up to), Boyd and Chuck's wife. And that 40 year old Asian exchange student is just annoying as fuck. Now this three year jump in the storyline. Seriously, time to go. At least we have the first 6 seasons that are playing in syndication on several channels. I always stop and watch if I'm channel surfing and see it.

I watched the first few minutes off the DVR tonight and thought the transition to the time jump was handled well... we’ll see how the rest of the ep unfolds tomorrow.
I still enjoy the show, but it has run its course.

So last night was the series finale. Did anyone watch it? I'm not looking for spoilers I'm just curious how was it? Last Man Standing has played better for me in syndication and I look forwards to watching the series the whole way through now.

It was okay, -decent but hardly memorable. It will be one of those finales that, -as with some old series, -in syndication you wouldn't know it was the finale if it wasn't pointed out to you. Those characters that have been missing in action remain so. Kaitlyn Dever was there via laptop/Zoom; she was working on "Dear Evan Hanson" and COVID protocols didn't allow her to interact with the cast.
The producers were asked by Fox at the beginning of the season to give them something promotable, and they came of with the "Tool Man" appearance, -and that's as "meta" as they wanted to get; they never considered bringing back any of the original actors for a cameo.

It became borderline terrible when it moved to Fox IMO. And wasn't the same since Molly Ephraim left. With Kaitlyn Dever barely making a cameo the past two years, the show felt like an empty shell of it's former self. While she comes across very likeable, Molly McCook was just not a good Mandy. And I'll never understand why they got a 5' 10" blonde to play her. Krista Marie Yu continued to get on my nerves right up until end. However, the first 6 seasons were pretty great. With a talented cast that had great chemistry. Especially Allen and Travis.
