    I mean, zero isn't low enough for this show. 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.

    Boy this was bad and this coming from a huge Tim allen fan, this show should be canceled ASAP, I can´t believe anyone even still watches this mess. Hopefully Tim Allen finally gets himself a worthy vehicle and not something as tragic as this sitcom.

    A show full of stereotype jokes which aren't funny at all. We get it, the writers of the show hate Obama and the Liberals and like to make fun of the rules of modern society.
    Bottom line: boring, not funny and too many political statements. Don't waste your time watching this show.

    What a horrible show and what a waste of talent. Lazy writing, bad acting and predictable. I was so excited to see Tim Allen back. But the show is just stupid and not even funny. Tim Allen is a "manly man" (whatever that means). Since he's a "real man", he's also homophobic and islamophobe and xenophobic, because we all know that real men don't tolerate any of that nonsense.

Tim Allen is a "manly man" (whatever that means). Since he's a "real man", he's also homophobic and islamophobe and xenophobic, because we all know that real men don't tolerate any of that nonsense. He doesn't believe in baby proofing his house and when his wife forces him to, of course she is proven wrong. How can a woman know better than a manly man. Being super manly, he's really enjoys being at work because it "smells like balls" (umm, I am straight and I have no idea what that means. May be I would if I were gay. How does a homophobe "manly man" knows what balls smell like?)

    The show is politically incorrect enough to be annoying but not enough to be funny (hint: take cues from Family Guy or if you want to be PG, then Simpsons). Overall, the writing and acting is so bad that even Tim Allen cannot save the show. Which is sad because the overall concept of a "traditional man coping in a world where the definition of manhood is changing" really appealed to me. I do make fun of so-called "metrosexuals". Or "half fruits", as "Joy" in "My Name is Earl" called them. Now that's a funny term. The show might have been funny if they went Family Guy style politically incorrect. Or if they opted to stick with the standard "the manly man eats humble pie at the end for his narrow mindedness" format (in this show the "manly man" is proven correct, the woman is wrong). And what the heck is up with his alcoholic wife who's in the show to just smile? Or his stereotypical daughters? There are plenty of hilarious sitcoms these days. How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Community and even The Middle are all very good. There's no need to waste time with this one. That said, I do believe that the concep has potential and Tim Allen is very talented. But writers need to be fired and new ones need to be brought in to salvage this show. I predict this one won't see season-2.    … Expand

    While it returns Allen to a Mr. Fix-it style of parenting and some broad he-man comedy, the show offers fewer grunts and more shrieking female voices.

    Very probably the worst sitcom on network television, Last Man Standing makes Whitney Cummings look like Noël Coward.

    It's strange that the same network that airs these two stellar comedies [Modern Family & The Middle] would chose to regress and put this dreck on the air.
