You’re in luck if you missed Last Man Standing or were unable to watch it when it was on ABC and then Fox after it was saved: According to exclusive information obtained by TV Insider, UPtv has licensed all nine seasons and will be adding them to the network’s weeknight schedule.
Officially debuting on Monday, January 2, the Tim Allen-led series will run Monday through Friday from 8/7c to 11/10c. But first, on Sunday, January 1, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. to 3 p.m., there will be a marathon. There is one way to celebrate the new year if you enjoy the family comedy series.
Check out the promo above to see the many reasons to watch UPtv, including Last Man Standing’s addition to the lineup, which also includes Gilmore Girls, Blue Bloods, and Love Sundays premiere films.
Hector Campos, vice president of content strategy and programming at UPtv, stated, “We’ve had our sights set on Last Man Standing for quite some time because it’s a fun, uplifting show that fits perfectly with our current line-up of the biggest family series of all time.” One of the reasons we think this cherished series has such a devoted fan base is because of the relatable dynamics surrounding the family relationships. Our audience is aware that we are the biggest fans of our show and that we enjoy playing into the fandom by hosting events like “Red Hot Reba-thon” and “GilMORE the Merrier.” We invite viewers to watch our celebration of Last Man Standing on UPtv on weeknights.
Allen’s Mike Baxter, a contented husband and father of three daughters, is the focus of Last Man Standing. In the cozy, masculine embrace of his work as marketing director of the Outdoor Man store, a sporting goods emporium, he attempts to escape all the female drama at home. He also takes great pride in his Outdoor Man vlog, which he uses as a platform to express his views, many of which are unrelated to the products sold in the store. He somehow rambles on about politics, health care, the environment, or whatever else is on his mind when he should be selling mountain bikes or kayaks.
In addition to Allen, the cast consists of Nancy Travis as Mike’s wife, Vanessa Baxter; Amanda Fuller as their eldest daughter, Kristin Baxter; Molly McCook as middle daughter, Mandy Baxter-Anderson; Jordan Masterson as Kristin’s husband, Ryan Vogelson; Jonathan Adams as Chuck Larabee, Mike’s coworker and neighbor; Krista Marie Yu as Jen, a foreign exchange student; and Hector Elizondo as Ed Alzate, Mike’s longtime business partner and Vanessa’s stepfather.
Jack Burditt was the creator of the series. Season 9’s executive producers included Pat Bullard, Mike Teverbaugh, Linda Teverbaugh, John Amodeo, Shawn Levy, Becky Clements, Richard Baker, Rick Messina, Pat Bullard, Ed Yeager, Allen, Marty Adelstein, and Kevin Abbott.
