       Last Man Standing

       Sad to say, but not only do I think Last Man Standing will make
       it, but it certainly has taken a major right turn into a wall
       and I won't be watching anymore. I'm not alone apparently.
       I love Tim Allen's humor and Last Man Standing is continuation
       of Home Improvement but with all girls this time. Great cast,
       funny moments and park you brain at the door.
       In the last few seasons, the show has become political. Yes
       Political jabs from the Republican side. I could care less which
       side, but idea of bashing politicians might seem a timely thing
       to do, I find it incredibly distracting. Looses all the humor
       and it's just not something I want to sit down to watch.

       Sorry to hear that they have gone too far right (or left) from
       what initially got you into the show. Personally it doesn't
       affect me as I have never seen an episode. But I can relate with
       other shows doing the same to me over the years.

       I kinda get certain shows being able to do it. Political dramas
       and such, but this is just so disappointing.

       That is kind of annoying, and you're right, unless the show is
       about politics (like Spin City), you really don't need to engage
       in something so polarizing.  Kelsey Grammar is really
       right-wing, but Frasier is very neutral.  They only got into
       politics a few times on the show, and even then it was
       restricted to stories about fictional characters that were
       directly looking for Crane support or feedback.  On the
       Simpsons, Sideshow Bob ran for Mayor as a Republican, but that
       wasn't nearly as important as the fact that he's just a villain.
       Honestly, Last Man Standing didn't really do anything for me,
       which kinda sucks because I like Tim Allen and I dug Home
       Improvement, and they definitely tried to put similar elements
       into this project, but... it didn't click.  Lightning doesn't
       always strike twice.
