Cancelled after six seasons at ABC, it seems Last Man Standing hasn’t been completely toppled just yet. Per THR, CMT is in early discussions to revive the Tim Allen sitcom for Season 7:
Insiders stress talks are in the early stages as CMT is exploring if it can revive the expensive show at a price point that works for the niche cable network. It’s unclear if a deal will be made as insiders cautioned that a renewal at CMT may be a longshot given the price tag on the veteran series. Also unclear is how big of a renewal the series could get as everything from a short order to multiple-season/20-episode run have been rumored. 20th TV, which has already placed calls to writers about a potential revival, and CMT declined comment.
A CMT revival would come a year after the network rescued ABC’s Nashville from its grizzly fate.
Will Last Man Standing escape the reaper’s clutches for a seventh season revival at CMT, or will the sitcom remain seated at the ABC Cancellation Inn? Stay tuned…

So happy to hear! I really hope CMT picks up this terrific sitcom. Shame on ABC for dropping another hit show. I’m sure they regret having canceled Nashville, and now I hope that Last Man Standing will follow in the golden footsteps of Nashville. Two of the best shows on TV! Thanks CMT!!!

I hope Last Man Standing gets renewed by a network. I understand why ABC cancelled a show they did not own after 6 seasons, (the same way CBS is frequently cancelling programs they don’t own: Mike and Molly, Person of Interest, and Two Broke Girls), however, Last Man Standing ended with a forgettable season finale where nothing much happened.
Give Last Man Standing the chance to go out with a series finale worthy of a family values show that was one on the air for six seasons, usually won it’s time slot, and helped out Shark Tank in the 9 PM time slot by being a good lead-in.

I really hope that Last Man Standing is picked up by CMT or someone else loved the show , and all the actors , I can never figure out why the good ones are taken off , and then they leave shows on that do not even get half the great ratings that other shows have !
