Like Tim Allen...his Santa Claus was the best..I remember his Sitcom Home Improvement was pretty funny too.
ReplyDeleteIt was and so was Last Man Standing, at least in first six or seven seasons. It is strange he is coming back to ABC given that LMS was unjustly cancelled there and then he moved it to Fox where it lived three more years.
DeleteYay! I am excited for a new Tim Allen sitcom! I'm sad that Home Improvement didn't get a new life, but at least we have this to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how he always makes his character similar so the audience will always have a feeling that Matt could actually be Tim or Mike Baxter now retired and older LOL because they all worked on old cars. The success of this will depend on the rest of the casting, fingers crossed they cast someone we love as his daughter and some nice teens for the grandkids.
DeleteHe's one of the few that can get away with playing the same type of character over and over again and we will keep coming back for me.
DeleteHope it will have better storylines than the last seasons of LMS
