"Last Man Standing" is Still Standing


The TV comedy "Last Man Standing" will return in the fall for a seventh season, but on a different network. The program stars Tim Allen, KK6OTD, as Mike Baxter, who is also a ham and whose station has appeared prominently in the background on most episodes and was written into several of them.

ABC cancelled the program last year after six seasons, despite being the network's second-most watched comedy, according to deadline.com. Amid an outcry by fans and a petition that gathered nearly a half-million signatures, the Fox Network decided to pick up the show for a seventh season. Fox's production arm had produced the program for ABC since its launch. 

Co-Executive Producer John Amodeo, AA6JA, told fans in May that he hopes to return to the show as well, but already had other production commitments so couldn't be sure at that point.
