Last Man Standing will not join Nashville in CMT’s second chance saloon. The cable network has pulled out of talks to resurrect the cancelled ABC sitcom for Season 7, Deadline reports:
I hear now it’s final — CMT won’t be picking up canceled ABC comedy series Last Man Standing a new season. CMT, which carries reruns of the Tim Allen-starring sitcom, had engaged in conversations with the studio behind Last Man Standing, 20th Century Fox TV, about possibly ordering original episodes. The talks were only preliminary, exploring the financial feasibility of producing the series for CMT, which would’ve involved virtually everyone on the show taking a pay cut. I hear in the end, the two sides could not agree on the numbers.
Disappointed? Angry? Overjoyed that Last Man Standing wont find a new home at CMT? Hoping that another outlet comes in? Stay tuned should a miracle happen…

Why? Are you afraid of having a conservative TV show to contradict your liberal views? How sad that your viewpoint is so weak that you can’t handle a different viewpoint
Carol P. says
I agree, Kay B. This was just about the ONLY conservative-leaning TV sitcom, and the writing and characters far exceeded just about all of the current sitcoms. Even though I am a conservative, I also love Modern Family – for the same reason I love Last Man Standing – both are hysterically funny shows. Both have great writers and terrific casts, despite their different political viewpoints. Liberals, if they don’t like the show, should learn how to press one of the other little numbers on their TV remote and just change the channel. Simple!! That’s what they don’t seem to understand about what makes America great – freedom of choice! If you don’t like the show, just don’t watch it. But they want to ruin it for all those who do enjoy the show. They have this obsessive need to stamp out any speech that differs from theirs. So intolerant!
Kay B. says
It is really sad that the liberals are so weak in their beliefs that they can’t allow shows with differing viewpoints to compete. It doesn’t bode well for the U. S. if everyone has to think the same way in order to be heard. I am so disappointed that this show has been canceled and will not be picked up by another network!
Jamie says
I was SO shocked when I heard this show had been cancelled! Sure Tim stated his personal views but I LOVED the show. It was a good family show that made me crack up every time I watched it. I was so excited when I heard there was a chance for s revival on CMT. What’s the deal people, put this back on the air!!
Brenda Park says
CMT you suck!
I love this show! I hope it gets picked up by another network!
Matt says
I consider myself a Liberal, but I love this show. There were some conservative points in the show that I agreed on and others that I did not. Politics aside, is a great show and I am sad to see it end. Maybe another network will pick it up !

I wonder what the numbers are for Netflix? My family watches this show every day. It would seem to make good business sense for Netflix to do another season if the show is streaming constantly. Best way to attract subscribers is to offer something the consumer wants and the competition doesn’t have.
