REPORT: Last Man Standing has successfully avoided the list of TV shows cancelled in 2018-19.
Per insiders, the sitcom will return for Season 8 on FOX in the 2019-20 season.
Last Man Standing was axed after six season by ABC in 2017 only to be revived by FOX, with the seventh season launching September 28.

About Last Man Standing:
LAST MAN STANDING stars Tim Allen as MIKE BAXTER, a happily married father of three daughters, who tries to maintain his manliness in a home surrounded by women. Seeking refuge in the manly embrace of his job as marketing director at the Outdoor Man store, Mike revels in his vlog, which he uses as a pulpit for his many opinions. In addition to Allen, the series stars Nancy Travis as Mike’s wife, VANESSA; Amanda Fuller as their oldest daughter, KRISTIN; Molly McCook as their free-spirited second daughter, MANDY; Christoph Sanders as Mike’s charmingly naïve co-worker and Mandy’s husband, KYLE ANDERSON; Jordan Masterson as Kristin’s husband, RYAN VOGELSON; Jet Jurgensmeyer as Kristin and Ryan’s young son, BOYD; Jonathan Adams as Mike’s neighbor and co-worker, CHUCK LARABEE; and Hector Elizondo as owner of Outdoor Man, ED ALZATE.

Vickie trayes says
Please bring Molly back we miss her she was a blessing to the show the new Mandy just does not cut it she’s too tall just distract from a fantastic funny entertaining show double her salary whatever please bring her back
B Neese says
Molly can’t come back cause of prior contract but I agree the new Mandy must go!!! I literally CRINGE every time she comes on screen !! Its not that she’s tall … Or blonde .. Its that she is TERRIBLE at playing Mandy !! Not saying she’s a terrible actress just saying I have NO idea if they were so DESPERATE to find someone they took the first person came through the door or what …. But if they do not replace her again with someone that can actually play mandy right then I will not be watching any more!
kelly shanley says
GIVE HER A CHANCE SHES NOT THAT BAD. I THINK SHES THE PERFECT REPLACEMENT.. MOLLY EPHRIM CANT DO THE SHOW DUE TO PRIOR CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER SHOW/MOVIE. GET OVER IT!!
Mike Pribyl says
The new mandy is great…
JK Brown says

Bonnie Collind says
Thank you Fox for bringing back a great show! You could do it with others and become bigger than the three major networks!
Chris Wetzel says
Love love love Last Man Standing!! The new Mandy is wonderful!! Thank you for bringing it back!!!
Patricia Alexandre says
Give Molly M. a chance. Think about if they did not recast the character of Mandy, we would be mourning her characters loss completely. The show is back and rocking the ratings, let’s focus on that. Last Man Standing has found it’s new home on FOX!
FOX Rocks!

Last Man Standing is the BEST comedy show on TV. In fact, now that The Big Bang Theory will no longer be continuing its show Last Man Standing moves to the #1 ranked spot in the comedy category. The new Mandy (Molly McCook) is fantastic regardless of what others think or say. She is an excellent actress and fits right in as playing Mandy Baxter. Tim Allen is so funny whether he is acting or doing standup. I love that they brought Jay Leno back. Ed’s character and Chuck’s character are hilarious and they pull it off so well and who doesn’t love Nancy Travis. She is a great mom and great wife all the while having her own career. I hope the show continues for many many more seasons.
Coby Preimesberger says
again molly couldn’t she desperately wanted too but could’t because of her career outside of lms, as people need to chill out
GPB says
Why?
nbcball says
because she had many films she’s shooting as once dungey cancelled it everyone was out of there contract
Donna says
Thank you Fox for bringing Last Man Standing back…best show on tv. Love the new Mandy..also love the old one…bring on season 8 and 9 ????????????
Rosa Abreu says
Please season 8 old Mandy please please
Jon says
Actually I think the new Mandy is an improvement. She’s a better actress and she has good timing. The other one seemed more forced and less effortless. Often times she was just irritating
GeRRald McAllen says
Last Man Standing should go for 10 seasons. It’s amazing. Love Kyle. New Mandy’s good, just hard to get used to.
Tim McAllen says
Go for 3 more seasons at least. Best show ever.
Robin says
I really miss the old Mandy too, but what do you do. The main thing is, that the show is still on and it was cxld because Tim Allen spoke the truth in his wonderful humor. I will be very sad when it does go off the air.
