Anyone catch the new Last Man Standing on Fox? I went back and watched the first new episode on On Demand. Damned funny opening scene! Looks to still be a winner. |

Yep, it's a good-un. Not sure about the new Mandy...but everyone else is carrying through nicely. Tim Allen has hit his stride with this one, he's very natural with the character and has a great ensemble cast. Leno seems to be a more-regular character now too, which is cool as hell, knowing what good car-buddies they are in real life. I watched the first episode live; caught the subsequent 2 on on-demand. Good, solid product so far. And I love that it's not a stage full of whiny liberals |

Yes, been watching LMS from the start. Like you I'm not sure about new Mandy or the absence of Eve. Time will tell, still hoping that Molly Ephraim will return. Just have to buckle up or put on the helmet and take the ride. |

Eve's been in the shows this season...at least, she was in the first episode. I thought I'd seen her in at least one of the following ones. They haven't written her out, at least - it seemed to me she might be "away at school" but still an active character? I'd be surprised if they brought Molly back, even if she wanted to. They've re-cast daughters before (the original Kristin) and I doubt they could realistically go "backwards". |

So - slightly OT here - how will they bring Roseanne back when the ratings tank, now that they killed her off with an opioid overdose? I think Tim Allen (Mike Baxter) needs to open a new franchise of Outdoor Man, and hire 'Roxanne' - a new character - to manage the store. Or, as Kristin and Ryan move to running Bud's Buds, Roxanne could take over the grille at Outdoor Man. Can you IMAGINE the ratings if Allen brought Barr onto the show?? |

Eve was in the first episode. The new Mandy has some big shoes to fill. It didn't seem like she had hit her stride in the first couple of episodes. Maybe she will get better. I did like how they dealt with having a new Mandy in the first episode though. Also the new network. I've been off of sit-coms for years now. I checked out Last Man Standing when it was in the news for being canceled. I recorded pretty much the entire series in reruns. Only sit-com I waste my time with. |

SPOILER ALERT!!! I might have some of the details wrong, but pretty much right out of the box they pointed out that something seemed different about her. Her boyfriend Kyle, couldn't figure out what it was though. At the close of the show, Kyle finally says, "Hey, you're a lot taller... And Blond!" |
