I have a better idea: if you are bringing back a Tim Allen show make it Home Improvement. Yes Earl Hindman is dead but the rest of the cast is still around. After all, Home Improvement aired a few of the same years with Roseanne, LMS just ended last year.

It will be hard to get the entire cast of That 70's Show on the same page. Didn't the show run long enough anyway?

I didn't watch the others.

Will Home Improvement and Frasier be revived next?

Best to leave Home Improvemet in the 90s. It fitted its' time and hasn't aged well. Fraiser I can see. I agree on That 70s Show. Let it be.

Home Improvement hasn't done well in syndication for the past several years. It made a go of it for awhile on Hallmark last year, but they dropped it like a hot potato. I think Laff or some diginet has picked it up...we'll see how well it does there.

Malcolm in the Middle has been out of the syndication picture for years...I can't see that coming back, either.

JO Sweet Heart · 04-01-2018, 05:01 PM

I would love to see the show get another season if not more.

God bless you always!!!

I wish LAFF picked up Home Improvement, but they haven't.

A few months ago I wouldn't have minded a Frasier revival. But John Mahoney was too vital to the show to continue without him. Maybe a spin-off starring Roz or Niles and Daphne.

Excellent! Kind of surprising considering LAFF generally airs racier shows. Is 3rd Rock from the Sun still coming?

Part of why Roseanne came back so strong is because the show was a huge cultural force in it's time and because her public persona got back in the news with Trump. Other revivals ala X Files,24,Boy Meets World haven't done so hot. And then Will and Grace(which also has been a constant in cable reruns and is a streaming hit) started out with high numbers for it's Premiere reboot, by it's latest episode got a .9 rating in the Demo. What Roseanne is doing is a bit of anomoly.

Outside of Last Man Standing( Which I think would get a lot of eyeballs from people who never watched the show because it's cancellation triggered many on the Right)most of these reboots would/will flop hard.

I stopped watching after season 1. All the recasting turned me off from wanting to watch it anymore.

JO Sweet Heart · 05-03-2018, 02:55 PM

This show could be on its way back! Go here for the latest!

God bless you always!!!

Fox is interested in reviving Last Man Standing

Tim Allen has reportedly signed on for a revival of his ABC comedy, which was canceled last year amid controversy. "They heard all your voices people!!" Allen tweeted this morning. "LMS just might be a reality. Keep it up. Who wants more #LastManStanding?" Allen blamed the cancelation on his and the show's conservative politics, telling Norm Macdonald on his podcast that the cancelation was "handled very badly...You couldn’t have handled this worse." ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said the cancelation was due to "business and scheduling reasons." But in the wake of the blockbuster ratings for the Roseanne revival, Fox is eyeing bringing back Last Man Standing for a seventh season, especially since the network's studio counterpart 20th Century Fox television owns the series. "Discussions are also underway with producers and stars from the former ABC comedy to return," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Insiders stress the talks are on the early side and could break down ahead of the network's May 14 upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers." After Last Man Standing's cancelation, CMT was in talks to revive the sitcom. But the negotiations broke down due to the hefty price tag of a network comedy.
