For sitcom fans, Fox made a miracle happen when it chose to grant Last Man Standing a new TV season, since the show was largely an established hit on ABC at the time of its cancellation.
Last Man Standing will be followed by the series premiere of The Cool Kids, which features It’s Always Sunny’s Charlie Day executive producing, with an all-star cast including David Allen Grier, Martin Mull, Vicki Lawrence and Leslie Jordan.
(It was explained at the time as being part of a shift away from comedies on Friday nights.)
Clearly, Fox thought it would be smart to set the show back into the same slot that Tim Allen & Co.’s fans were originally tuning in for, and it’ll mark Fox’s push into giving Friday nights a more comedic spin.
