Given that Friday nights typically don’t deliver terribly high ratings, Fox has a lot to be happy about with Last Man Standing so far.
Kevin Abbott did tease that an upcoming episode would deal with gun control, so that will be one of the larger issues addressed by Last Man Standing’s first season on Fox.
If the numbers for its premiere hold up, a lot of people could be tuning in to watch Last Man Standing work through these issues while keeping the focus on comedy and attempting to unite rather than divide.
The show absolutely dominated with its first episode back, scoring a 1.8 rating in the key 18-49 age demographic and winning 8.01 million viewers.
