She really looked at me, ‘Are you OK?’ and I was not OK.”

I walked in and looked at Nancy and literally surprised I got through that scene. In an interview with Fox News, Allen recalled his final days on set, “Our prop guy said, ‘Which of these did you want to take?’ and it was pictures of the family from the hallway that was going away. She winds up having this reaction to that as Mike has peace with it, because of how much it meant to her as well.” And while you watch Mike thinking he’s going to fall apart once this word comes through, it’s actually kind of interesting that Vanessa does. It’s been disassembled, chop shop, it doesn’t exist and then they have to go through the process of what that means. But then the word comes through it’s gone. “At first it’s like we got to get it back. “It was perfect and there was nothing left for him to do, and then at that point somebody takes it,” Berry said. It was conceived as a metaphor for the show. Characters leaving or saying goodbye felt too sad and then, Berry came up with the idea of Mike’s beloved truck being stolen just as he finished restoring it.

Unlike series that have been cancelled, they at least had an opportunity to give the characters some closure.Īccording to Variety, executive producers Kevin Abbott and Matt Berry had a tough time coming up with a way to end the show. Saying goodbye to their show for a second time was understandably a very emotional experience for the cast and crew. Mike and Vanessa (Travis) contemplate their own future, including Mike’s imminent retirement from Outdoor Man - and who could be his successor. In season nine, the series jumped ahead into the near future. His family doesn’t see eye-to-eye with him so it can sometimes be a little tough for Mike to stand his ground and stay in touch with his inner man. The series revolves around Mike Baxter (Allen), the marketing director of the Outdoor Man sporting goods stores and a “man’s man”. While there won’t be a 10th season anytime soon, this family comedy seems ripe for a revival somewhere down the line.Īiring on Thursday nights, Last Man Standing stars Tim Allen, Nancy Travis, Hector Elizondo, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders, Molly McCook, Jordan Masterson, Jonathan Adams, and Krista Marie Yu with Jay Leno, Susan Sullivan, Tisha Campbell, and Kaitlyn Dever recurring. The sitcom was cancelled by ABC after six seasons but was revived a year later for three more seasons on FOX.

Tonight, viewers said goodby to the Baxters and their friends for a second time.
