Allen expressed his joy to fans about the renewal and humorously quipped stating the following:
“Thanks to our family at Fox who continue to make us feel so at home. Man, if we keep this up, they might have to call our show, Last Man Unable to Stand.”
As well as main star Tim Allen, the series also stars Nancy Travis, Amanda Fuller, Jordan Masterson, Jonathan Adams, Jet Jurgensmeyer, and Krista Marie Yu. The Jack Burdiff created sitcom will now enter its eighth’s season and second to air on Fox after an original six-year run on ABC.
