Now this is good time, to change the two actresses and the actor, who played Mandy, Eve and Mike, IMO!

Stop being crazy, irehtman. It IS Tim Allen's show. You can't have the show without him.

But Tim Allen is doing well in movies right now, this is a wrong stupid move for Tim to go backwards into the TV series for no reason at all and that is intolerable!

He can do movies and TV. You don't have to do just one or the other. He is the show. And he is a producer too. He isn't going anywhere, nor is Molly or Kaitlyn who are very popular and talented.

Tim has to still continue appearing in current movies besides appearing in this show at the same time before it gets too late. I did not like that idea of Tim going backwards into another TV series from the movies.

I know Molly isn't like Alexandra nor Kaitlyn, but it was wrong for 1.) Alexandra to get fired and 2.) Molly to get kept. But I have a feeling they should have change the other daughters besides the Kristen part and they should look for a well-known actor, who did not end up in the movies yet, to play Mike Baxter correctly.

Glad it's renewed! And even after people complained about the changes in season two it's still going!

So you only want Vanessa, Ed, and Kyle to stay the same actors as they were from season one? What you want wouldn't be Last Man Standing. This is Tim Allen's show, it wouldn't survive if he was replaced. I think Molly is a great actress, Mandy is hilarious and you can tell she's nothing like her in real life. Kaitlyn is a good actress too. They're not going anywhere.

I don't know anything about the actors. I just like the story!

That would be incredibly awkward. I can think of very few shows where the lead main star actor got replaced. ("Bewitched" comes to mind along with "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Family Matters"- all of which had actors and/or actresses take over an established role that was one of the main characters on the show- but I don't know if I would consider any of them really the main star of the show. Though if "Family Matters" had continued as what it was supposed to be, then Harriette would have been the main star of the show, seeing as how it was her character that was spun off from "Perfect Strangers" to create the show.)
In any case, I've seen some of "Last Man Standing" and it's one of the few shows on today that I actually like to some degree. Tim Allen does a great job as Mike Baxter- I highly doubt anything short of some kind of extreme injury and/or death or legal scandal, etc. (not that I wish any of those things to happen to him) would get him to leave the show.
If it makes you feel better though, he's appearing in a new Toy Story TV-movie later this year at Christmas. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3473654/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1)

So the fourth Toy Story movie is considered a Christmas type, meaning:

"Toy Story Christmas"?

MacLeaper · 05-13-2014, 02:39 PM

To clarify, it's a TV-movie and that's slightly different. (Basically a movie made directly for TV airing and on a TV budget.) But yes, from what I've read, this Toy Story venture is supposed to be set at Christmas.

P.S. I wonder if a wedding will really happen for Kristin and Ryan.
