So what do we know about this upcoming seventh season of the series? What will be the same, and what will be different? Let’s take a look. This was the strongest episode in several weeks.It has become increasingly common for TV shows to be revived shortly after being canceled, and the latest series to be brought back from apparent death is Last Man Standing. After being axed by ABC, Fox has decided to bring the series back for a seventh season. I like this show a lot because I relate so well to all the characters, and that just makes the jokes funnier. This episode was still amusing as ever, and it carried a lot of emotional strength. Mike’s great at trolling, but giving Cammy the trombone idea was gold.He’s got a kid that steals, too.”- Kyle is never talking about the thing you’re thinking about. “I think I know where the guy’s head’s at.“I’m not a music critic, but I like to criticize other people.“Can we go to the candy store later?” “Oh! Can we?!”- Boyd and Kyle have the same interests.“I think the salad might be burning”- Vanessa isn’t particularly great at excuses.And I LOVED Home Improvement, so there’s that.Īs always, here are some of my favorite quotes/moments from the episode: JTT seems to have a knack for sitcom directing, and I was really impressed with the outcome. Not only was there a Home Improvement reunion between Tim Allen and Blake Clark (Harry, from Harry’s Hardware), but between them and the episode’s director as well. Then, I returned to the opening credits to find this episode was directed by Jonathan Taylor Thomas. It seemed like messages were clear and concise, and it didn’t lose the spirit of the show. The episode’s direction seemed particularly good and I couldn’t figure out what was different about it. They didn’t paint either Christianity or Atheism in a negative light, and I have a lot of respect for that approach. Kyle can be an idiot and man child (perhaps that’s why I love him most), but when he’s involved in serious matters I’m always taken aback at how well the whole thing goes. Though Ryan has always been anti-religion, and Boyd’s conversation with Kyle mislead Ryan at first, I really appreciated the understanding reached between them. I really appreciate the entire Ryan/Kyle/Boyd interaction. As funny as I found other parts of this episode, Dever’s Eve carried the emotional depth of a mature, adult actress, and color me impressed! Kaitlyn Dever has always done a great job on this show, but as she’s matured beyond ‘snarky younger sister’, she’s developed Eve into a strong character. The performance just felt so genuine and real. Eve in particular, still reeling from her West Point rejection, radiated with emotion and apprehension about her music. I was actually quite impressed with the emotional weight this episode carried. Boyd, who had been lying to his parents, had his eyes opened by Kyle. Meanwhile, Kyle and Mandy babysit Boyd so Ryan and Kristin can have a night out. They don’t sound great, but instead of telling them that, Mike arranges a gig for them. This week on Last Man Standing: Eve’s band begins practicing in Mike’s garage, much to his chagrin. You wouldn’t think it at first glance, but this show has a diverse cast and I love the interesting characters. I really appreciated the exploration of Eve’s fears and apprehensions about rejection, and Kyle and Ryan’s differing views on religion. While not the best rated sitcom on TV, it’s comforting that it feels like a real family. They don’t shy away from politics or religion, and as such their characters problems are real and relatable. One of the things I like most about Last Man Standingis their courage to tackle realistic families and topics.
