ABC family sitcom LAST MAN STANDING starring Tim Allen and Nancy Travis. In the new season Mike has returned from being on a fantastic two-month road trip, travelling to far-flung places for Outdoor Man, the sporting goods emporium where he is marketing director.

Vanessa is dealing with her new teaching job and 
with the empty nest syndrome, their oldest daughter Kristin (Amanda Fuller) has married the father of her son Ryan (Jordan Masterson), their midde daughter Mandy (Molly Ephraim) is scoring success with her fashion line, while their youngest Eve (Kaitlyn Dever) is finishing high school!

I don't remember nearly enough of my Dickens to catch all the references and truly appreciate it, but I love the concept. Should be an interesting series.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember much either, but I think it will be super fun especially in this vignette format.
DeleteSo many good things to watch coming up soon! Except for "Last Man Standing" -- I have never liked Tim Allen.
ReplyDeleteI know he's a bit of an idiot privately... but that sitcom is the best written family sitcom in decades. Really written with much love and intelligence unlike most of today's TVcrap
DeleteI am really excited for the Medici miniseries, especially with Hoffman and Madden playing father and son. Should be a good one!
ReplyDeleteit will be such a bliss! Even though we've seen Medicis in almost all of the epic shows in recent years from REIGN to DA VINCI'S DEMONS and all others. Madden will be amazing
DeleteLooks like lots of good stuff coming.
ReplyDeleteBBC is on the roll!
DeleteAh, Dustin Hoffman. One of the greats!
ReplyDeleteHope he doesn't act himself in the series :)
DeleteGood point, Dezz!
Deleteyep, he is one of them actors that have egoistic approach in which they always act themselves not their characters. Pacino, Hoffman, Sean Penn, Gosling are such types
DeleteSean Penn.... Who is he? :p
DeleteMadonna's ex wife..... wait, who's Madonna? I don't know... why are you asking me? Go and ask Charlize Theron...
DeleteOh I wouldn't mind talking to her....
DeleteCan I just say that I'm SO glad Dustin Hoffman is getting so much work? That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see if he will be better than Jeremy Irons as Pope Borgia
DeleteI had no idea the show was still on let alone season 5
ReplyDeleteit is the best watched sitcom on Friday evenings for four years now, ABC would be stupid to cancel a comedy with such rating. It might even get syndicated after season five. And it is the only quality comedy out there. Old school.
DeleteYou sold us on Last Man Standing. I told Jason that we have to add that to our must see list.
ReplyDeleteI think Jason will enjoy it, because it has that manly aspect in it and you will enjoy the family aspect and his wife and three daughters :) It is really a show that you can watch with your daughters too. Very intelligent, educational, dealing with current issues and family topics in a very delightful, wise and also tolerant way, because although Tim is Republican and has such views, he always reaches an agreement with his son in law and daughters who are liberal :)
DeleteDahlink, I can send you seasons 3 and 4 as I have them in my computer. Would you like that? You just have to cover seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix or something.
I tried to watch the first season but I gave up. Not because of Tim, but I hate those pre-recorded laughs you keep hearing. Hahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha
DeleteNoooo! Those are my fave in multicamera sitcoms!
DeleteThere should be a soundtrack without the fake laughter machines. Stupid overdub.
Deletewhatcha mean fake machine, multi camera sitcoms are shot in front of live audience
DeleteIt does sound like a very good show, and we have always loved Tim Allen. Thanks for the offer on the shows, but I am sure I will be able to get them on Netflix or Amazon by the time we get around to seeing this one. The next 3 months are all about holiday films. I tv time will be jammed up for quite some time with all the specials that are getting ready to air. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI think Jason would like it because he is also LAST MAN STANDING in your cassa :) and you could relate to Vanessa and her empty nest syndrome :( It is one of the very few sitcoms that you can actually watch with your kids and laugh together without anything indecent popping up.
DeleteTell me if you change your mind :) I have AGE OF ADELINE in my computer too :)
Tim Allen is great.
ReplyDeleteAt least on the telly :) I feel I shall have a hole in my heart when that sitcom goes of the air one day
DeleteMe too. Of course, there's a big hole in my heart already, now that I'm officially shallow and a Ted Baker fetishist.
DeleteYou do know Anne didn't mean you, but every other guy who wears them suits, yes?
DeleteNo.
Delete:(
Delete:)
DeleteIt's really a great informative article. I was assuming that there won't be more information, but there is. Thanks
