I really hope so too. Tim Allen appears to have matured a lot as both a person and a comedian in the years since Home Improvement.

Last Man Standing had its flaws and it did let the side down a bit in a couple of episodes- I remember that one from the first season where there was a lesbian couple featured on the show as though that sort of thing is "normal". But it was easily the best thing out there on network television for men and women to enjoy.

I seriously doubt that it will be picked up by Netflix, but then, hope springs eternal…

He got it right, and he only lasted six years. Home Improvement lasted ten (I think). I hope Netflix or Amazon is smart enough to pick this up. I'm not holding my breath.
