ABC canceled the show because Fox owned it and ABC couldn’t make the revenue they wanted for what it would have cost to make the show.

The “they canceled it because it was a conservative show” narrative is fake news

I’ve given in that I’m sharing this place and time with complete morons. On both sides. Not a non-retard in the group.

Yeah that's why they cancelled it rigjt after Tim Allen called out hollywood for being a bunch of intolerant fascists and only allowing one worldview. And what does Hollywood do? Just prove him right.

You're too good for this place. You should move on to greener pastures.

Having a hit show in your line up helps the other shows on the same night achieve higher rating and thus higher revenues for the network. Your argument sounds contrived and void of logic.

That's funny, the person that made the actual call didn't say that...

quote:

“‘Last Man Standing’ was a challenging one for me because it was a steady performer in the ratings,” Dungey said. “Once we made the decision to not continue with comedies on Friday, that was where we landed.” (Starting in the fall, fairy-tale drama “Once Upon a Time” moves to Friday nights, taking over the time slot from “Last Man Standing” and “Dr. Ken.”)

“Last Man Standing” is also produced by outside studio 20th Century Fox TV, and not ABC Studios, which means there’s less potential financial reward for ABC’s parent company, Disney. While Dungey said that many reasons go into a cancellation decision (ratings, viewer engagement, critical acclaim, ideas for future seasons), ownership structure plays a role. Still, she said, “I wouldn’t say that was the sole factor in not bringing ‘Last Man Standing’ back.”

Meanwhile ABC kept similarly performing shows like Shark Tank and Fresh Off The Boat and kept lesser-performing shows like Once Upon A Time (in the article Last Man was replaced in its time slow with Once Upon). I'm sure ownership had something to do with it, but to say politics played no part is a hard pill to swallow when looked at objectively.

Where I choose to stand as this ship goes down is of no concern to you but with the Right’s complete lack of abilitiy in prioritizing concerns I’m not surprised you’re focused on it.

What was the revenue and what should it have been?

Fox also owned it for all the years it played on ABC and ABC was thrilled with the profits. Thrilled until Tim announced his conservatism. Then, POOF, gone like a fart in a hurricane.

The profits it made were good enough until then.

Actually I just expect more from my country than all of you and reject this bullshite alternative we’re swallowing for our masters. And I couldn’t be more disgusted to be with a big bag of counts like y’all. Fake patriots who are as owned today as the blacks. I can’t help but blame your stunted reasoning on your programming for accepting religious concepts at face value without true criticism.

Talent costs on an established show are higher than on a new show

You think Tim Allen being conservative was a secret until then?
