    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.

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.

    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.
