It sort of hasn't even sunk in for me yet that the series is over, so it's easy imagine how Nancy Travis, Tim Allen and the rest of the cast are having a bit of a rough time. Still, there's clearly interest in the show and potentially doing a Last Man Standing Season 10, as showrunner and executive producer Kevin Abbott even told CinemaBlend recently.

Then again, a lot of veteran comedies were axed at the end of this TV season, so it was far from alone in its ending. The show had already been cancelled once before and seemed to be in a place where it could go as long as it wanted. The whole ending of Last Man Standing felt a little odd. Not me!' And especially when you've been so intimately connected to a character for such a long time, you just wonder, 'Am I Vanessa? Is Vanessa me? Where does one end and the other begin?' I'll say, 'Oh, that's something Vanessa would say or Vanessa would do. So in a strange way, we ended and we were forced to say goodbye, but I don't know if you ever say goodbye.

I used to joke, people would ask me about different episodes, and I would joke and say that as soon as I said the last line, my car was going and I'm on the freeway and the episode is out of my head. And from what Travis told ET, it was tough to do the ending this way. Sure, we did get some touching comments from Tim Allen and the cast and the ending of Last Man Standing has felt final, but it wasn’t typical by any means. Typically when sitcoms end - and I think Modern Family was a great recent example of this, you have a big wrap party. You go to work, you see these people day in and day out for nine years, and then you walk away and you go home and you wake up the next day and say, 'Now what am I gonna do?’ We didn't have a cast party, we didn't have a wrap party - even for the crew. We're actors and this is our job, but when it's over, you just get your stuff and you move on and leave and go to the next thing and it's just a very awkward thing because in this time of COVID, none of us really got to say goodbye. To say he can’t find a throughline here would be an understatement as he jumps around the ‘90s rap scene, revisits lives that have been thoroughly documented by now, and then bounces a few theories. However, it’s one thing to know the end is coming and another to experience it and 2021 was a particularly tough year for shows that ended. Last Man Standing is a startlingly scattershot piece of filmmaking from a director who normally has a sure, personal hand on his projects. did have the opportunity to adjust to what was impending. He added: “I’m looking forward to a memorable and hilarious final season.In general, given Last Man Standing had several months of filming left between the announcement the series would be ending that came in October of 2020 and the ultimate filming of the finale - which didn’t happen until 2021 - Nancy Travis, Tim Allen and co.

As we approach the ninth season, I just admire and feel grateful for all the hard work our wonderful cast and crew have done.” I so appreciate the incredible support from our fans over this near-decade of work. However, he also explained how happy he was to be a part of the show for so long: “I’ve been one lucky dude to have been part of Last Man Standing.

“We had all considered to end the show after last season, but together with Fox, we decided to add a year so we could produce a full season to create the gentle and fun goodbye.” The decision was reached in October 2020 when the show was approaching its 10-year anniversary and Tim addressed why he felt the show should come to an end:
