It’s goofy. It is not Earth-shattering. ... Last Man Standing has chosen to make a swerve toward vulnerability and self-knowledge rather than following the Roseanne path and tripling down on implied racism and curdled resentment. It makes me hope the series has the potential to be more dynamic and thoughtful than I’d given it credit for.
Those who found Last Man funny when Obama was president will no doubt find it funny today. The rest of us can't argue with Mike's command to his family. "We treat each other with dignity and respect, because that's who we are." [28 Sep 2018, p.44]

This show is a real feel-good show with characters who are likeable. It usually had a good message at the end, and yet is manages to remain light enough for good comedy. It looks like, based on ratings, ABC's loss is Fox's gain.
Highly Recommended!

SEASON 7
Great show! Watched it from season 1 and couldn't get enough.Love to watch the political reviews that attack a show based upon their own twisted lives and views about the current political climate. Couldn't give a fair and decent review if their lives depended on it. Just like ABC cancelling a top show because it didn't fit into their own political rhetoric, doesn't make any sense.
This is not real life on these shows, it's make believe for entertainment. If you don't like the shows storyline, change the channel.
Don't understand how we are supposed to take the critic reviews at heart when they also fall along their or their employers political views as well. Again, not an honest review among them.
Here is one "Its writing is abysmal. Its fractured attempts at comedy are definitely conservative BS, with no redeeming qualities. Its punchline efforts are stupid, to match its target audience I imagine." Can you guess where this persons political lines a drawn?
Would be a fresh change to review the show based solely on the what is on the screen not on politics.
I will watch the show and enjoy what is produced and should I get tired of what is shown will quit watching based on that not on the way some politician suggests in an effort to remove shows from television based on their political views or opinions. I know the show introduces political comments or jokes, but that's exactly what they are, "jokes", not real.
I hope you enjoy the show based on it's entertainment value. I will.

SEASON 7
Last Man Standing is that unusual red fish in a sea crowded with blue ones, and it never lets you forget that. As always and as expected, Mike gets the best lines, the easiest put-downs and literally the last word.
Tim Allen’s revived comedy is exactly what it always was: a predictable, kind of lazy sitcom built on easy jokes and the odd, occasionally misguided rantings of a middle-aged, wealthy white guy.
It’s all extremely boring. ... The show remains very thin gruel when it comes to nourishing laughter, and it’s considerably worse when it gets preachy.
Last Man Standing remains hopelessly mediocre.
This season is my favorite so far. The return is amazing and I am so happy it's back. The writing continues to be on point the whole time and extremely hilarious. The new cast members are great. The whole cast gave hilarious and stupendous performances especially Tim Allen, Nancy Travis, Christoph Sanders, Hector Elizondo, Kaitlyn Dever, Amanda Fuller, Jordan Masterson, and Molly McCool. A+.

SEASON 7
It is nice that "Last Man Standing" is not another left wing Trump hating show that is inundating the airways. High viewership because of snappy dialogue. Willing to bet some left wing pinko will shoot their liberal mouth off and attack the show because it does not fit their ideology, too bad for them the ratings will determine whether the show will last, and not some commie troll's inept thoughts.

SEASON 7
Glad Last Man is back but it comes back with a cost. The actress playing Mandy is miscast. She has no screen presence and absolutely no acting ability or comedic timing. The other cost is the youngest daughter being “away at school” only does cameos this season, again, losing an interesting character. The oldest daughter is barely tolerable as an actress and the kid playing her son is weak as well.
The Ryan and Kyle characters are back, but are hardly developed enough to carry a subplot let alone an episode. The older coworkers, including Jay Leno, help but this show only works when the big guy is in the scene.
So, if you like Tim Allen, he”s back, but the cast of characters overall is weaker and not helping the long term viability of the show.

SEASON 7
Allen doesn't face any real challenges on his show, which is little more than a one-dimensional dream world to the Fox News conservative crowd. Anyone with a different opinion is portrayed as so weak that they take no resistance at all as Allen blasts them with one-liners. The only one who mounts any kind of sophisticated opposing opinion is his wife whom I imagine in real life would have to be so self-loathing and broken to survive in a marriage where one partner only considers themselves 100% of the time with not so much as a single beat for a self-effacing moment.
Interesting note: Kaitlyn Dever, whom I just watched play a lesbian seeking her first kiss and succeeding in Booksmart, plays a daughter on Last Man Standing who follows Tim Allen's wisdom that making fun of someone's sexuality can't be hurtful because of the first amendment. The irony was dense.
