:D Is anyone going to try this tonight? It's gotten terrible reviews from the couple I have read. I don't know anyone who is really a fan of Tim Allen. Were any of you here Home Improvement fans? I kind of watched it during it's run, but I've never really been a fan of his. :lol: I figure 1 thread should be enough for this one. I know most of you who do try it are going to hate it. |

15 mins in, basically Home Improvement part two. I can't see this one lasting very long at all.

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
most of the shows on now especially the comedies and reality junk are terrible in my opinion, at least on broadcast television but i found this show amusing

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I liked it too.

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I liked it too. I do like Tim Allen. I also really identified with his character. Surrounded by women and really can't stand "girly" men. Hope it sticks around.

Very much Home Improvement Pt2 and thats what made it so enjoyable. I do fear for its future though.

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
This show is a relic. It's a 90s sitcom in just about every facet, only with a few modern references thrown in. That's not to say it's bad. But it really doesn't fit in with the modern idea of comedy shows.
So it's going to get a lot of bad reviews simply from the fact that it's not Modern Family, or modern in any sense. Many people just can't get past three cameras and a laugh track/studio audience. But it's far better than that crap How To Be A Gentleman that CBS dumped, and even better than Whitney that NBC gave a full season to. Those shows, which also use the 3 camera/laugh track/audience format are bad regardless of format. Much like Hot In Cleveland, this show knows exactly what it is and isn't trying to be anything else. And so far, they've done a pretty good job of it. I went in with low expectations and this show exceeded them. Here's hoping they can keep it up. Now, we just have to wait a week to find out just how bad Man Up is. |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I've been re-watching Home Improvement, this time with my kids (was a teenager during its run), and appreciate it more now. If this is HI part 2, that would be fine with me. I hadn't heard about this, but will watch it next week.

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
13M viewers and 3.5 in the demos. That's a very good start.
I may check it out on Hulu now. |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I was and still am a huge Home Improvement fan. I absolutely loved the show when it was originally on (along with double digit millions of others) and I love it now.
I was flip-flopping on watching this show. It interested me and then I saw the previews and they totally turned me off. However, I decided to give it a try. Nothing groundbreaking and if I miss an episode or two I won't be too hurt, but I will probably come back to this show. It was pretty good. |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
Don't forget. New episode of Home Improvement tonight

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I thought it had its moments. Didn't make me laugh out loud, but a few chuckles were had. I'll be tuning in again this week. :)

Anyone else still in? I found only one other thread.
I just watched the Christmas episode and tout it was pretty decent. I like Tim Allen and Nancy Tavis still looks great but I have noticed thAt they are sexying up the middle daughter a bunch. An increase in cleavage and this ep she was in Fishnet stockings and a nice little elf outfit. Also Natalie Distler was in this, former daughter on Rescue Me. |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I DVR'd it from the beginning thinking I'd never watch it. A few weeks ago, I caught up and will continue to watch it. There's nothing special to it, but I've found it enjoyable.

If it makes you feel better, the actress playing the middle daughter is 25. Now to make it weird, the actress playiong the eldest daughter is 21.

"Old school" laugh track sitcoms are a turnoff for me these days, but I gave it a chance and I like it. Nostalgic.

Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
Watched the season premiere tonight.
I guess about 3 years have passed since the grandson looks about four. Oh, it also seems that the eldest daughter had major plastic surgery. ;) I miss the prior actress as the eldest daughter. After one episode, I wasn't big on the changes. Nick Jonas also must have had plastic surgery since the grandson's father is also different in the form of a Masterson. |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
Although it wasn't a great show, I did enjoy it when it was on. I wouldn't make a point of watching but would put it on if I was there.
I gave up about 10 minutes in. It sucked. I thought the new daughter was obnoxious. Will not be watching again |
Re: Last Man Standing -- New Comedy Series (Tim Allen returns to ABC) -- Debuts 10/11
I really liked last season. It is Home Improvement 2 and I'm completely ok with that. I watch because of Tim Allen (he's the man) but I'm disappointed in the changes made. The oldest daughter wasn't a great actress but she was really cute and I'm not feeling the new one. I wonder if they dropped her or if she left voluntarily. Either way, I'll get used to it, it's still enjoyable.
Also not a fan of them trying to make the kid a bigger part of the show. I'm assuming that's why they went with an older kid. I'm also not a fan of the kids dad being around now. The show worked the way it was last season. The only problem I have with this being Home Improvement 2 is that there is no Heidi 2. :( |

Which means she was dating a producers son and dumped him, or was just a wild pain in the ass to work with. I haven't been this perpelexed since the 60's when I turned on Bewitched and Dick York had been replaced. All those reasons listed above are exactly why I dislike the show now. |
