ABC's entertainment president Channing Dungey maintained in a conference call that the show was cancelled for "business and scheduling reasons."

Can ya get a little more vague bitch?

Ohh.. yeah she can...

According to a report, she also maintained that a big part of her job is to "make the tough calls and cancel shows we would love to have on."

I have 0 dogs in this fight but hollllly FUCK ABC is out of my life now.

What mess? They cancelled a show, they have the absolute discretion to do so. You're acting like they canceled Breaking Bad.

TV has always been a volatile medium with plenty of non-sense cancellations and continuations. ABC itself has a history of contentious cancellations of high profile shows. The alt-right victim complex ignores all of this.

Stop doing that.

"Once we made the decision to not continue with comedies on Friday, that was where we landed," she added.


It's the same reason Dr. Ken was canned. No more comedies on Friday night, plus they don't own the show and they'd have to pay for it plus Allen was going to try to renegotiate the contract. That's not vague.

But sure, hurl insults. That's what someone who has "0 dogs in this fight" does.

"that's where we landed." That is the definition of vague when you're a network executive. HOW can you not see that? The reason I say I have 0 dogs in this fight is because I win/lose no money financially out of this.

That's not vague at all. They landed on cancelling the show for all of those reasons. There was no place for it or Dr. Ken when they decided to no longer have comedies on Friday nights. In what world is that vague?

Actually in a way it is. This is already the standard response for any PR in just about anything. Everyone just seems to accept it. I came across this article and it just blew a fuse for me. Am I mad bro? Yeah bro. Will I get over it in a few hours, yeah.

How many times do we have to do this?

The production costs, on top of Tim Allen's insane pay demands, were too much.

It sounds like it was cancelled because Tim Allen is an asshole irl and wouldn't shut up. Life Pro-Tip: Don't refer to your employer as Nazi Germany.

After six seasons, the ABC broadcast network is contractually required to cover the cost of producing the show. Until now, Last Man Standing had been produced and paid for by 20th Century Fox TV before being licensed for broadcast to ABC.

To no one's surprise (explained below), and although 20th Century Fox had agreed to reduce its fees, without even bothering to negotiate something that would allow them to hold onto this hit show, ABC abruptly canceled it, using the fig leaf of cost, singling out Tim Allen's high salary.
