With the announcement of the revival of Last Man Standing on FOX, lead star of the series, Tim Allen, responded in a statement and thanked fans for their support.
Allen said the following in a statement:
“Excited? Team [Last Man Standing] was in the sixth inning, ahead by four runs, stands were packed and then for no reason, they call off the game. It leaves you sitting in the dugout, holding a bat and puzzled. Now we get the news from FOX that it’s time to get back out on that diamond — hell yes, I’m excited! When I heard the offer to create more episodes of Last Man Standing, I did a fist pump so hard I threw my back out. It’s the fans! I could not be more grateful for the fans who wrote petitions and kept up the passion and incredible support for the show. And a fist pump, ouch, for Dana Walden and Gary Newman at Fox for not only listening to the fans but for making the bold move to bring Last Man Standing back. I’m sure audiences will be curious to see what we look like after all these years. Oh, has it only been a year? Well, just goes to show you – a lot can happen in a year.”
Despite good ratings, ABC canceled the series which caused outcry from fans. Now, with new life at FOX, fans of the show can rejoice in it’s resurgence.
