Last Man Standing

This is a great show but Season 7 and the switch to Fox changed things. I don't mind the new Mandy although Molly Ephraim was far better. The addition of Jen is annoying as hell. She's an absolutely terrible actress cut from the typical Nickelodeon mold. The writers try too hard to make her a replacement for Eve. It just doesn't work. I hope they write her out for season 8.

Big gaffe! Recasting Mandy. I know that Molly had taken another project when LMS was picked up by Fox, but someone should have written her into an opportunity to work in fashion in Europe and then gave her an offer she couldn't refuse to come back next season. I don't think you realize the comedic talent and timing she brought to the table. Now, no one was more surprised than I was that Mandy was responsible for the larger percentage of my laughs out loud. Her presence was delightful and cohesive. This show is the only one that I know I can sit down and laugh and be moved and not have to watch out for inappropriate content. Do you have any idea how relaxing and enjoyable that is for a conservative? There are very few programs that can do that. I have to tell you that this new Mandy is disruptive rather than cohesive. Get Molly back. Thanks, Patti

I dont agree with alot of Tim Allen has to say but he does it in away that is just so funny.

I didn't expect much from this, although I did enjoy "Home Improvement" when I was younger. This isn't a great leap forward from that, but works pretty well as a comedy that doesn't require too much thought and provides plenty of giggles.

Tim is a "Man's man" who decides to take more of a hand in the raising of his 3 daughters (and 1 small grandson). Needless to say, his world view is at odds with theirs and hilarity ensues.

Allen does play pretty much the same character as in "Home Improvement", but the family dynamics are well handled, with the daughters each getting their own personalities out of the handbook of family comedy clichés and running with them.

Cookie cutter comedy, sure, but sometimes that's all you need for twenty or so minutes of smiles. I'll be tuning in regularly.

Loved, loved this show.... except the new season's Mandy completely changes the family dynamics. She just does not have the spark and feistiness needed to create some of the funny tension that used to exist. Better if the character had been written out of the show than to try this replacement.
